About Compass 4 Apr 2018 7:00 AM (6 years ago)
The quality of a scholarly journal… the speed of the web
The Compass journals publish state-of-the-art, peer-reviewed survey articles from across the entire discipline. All articles are specially commissioned by an international team of Section Editors and, following peer review, are produced to the same high standards as the Wiley-Blackwell print journals. This means that readers can be assured of the quality of the content and its presentation.
However, Compass is different in several important ways:
- Number of articles: each Compass publishes approximately 100 or more articles per year, depending on the discipline.
- Broad scope: each journal covers an entire discipline, which allows readers to make interesting connections between sub-disciplines.
- Wide readership: the survey nature of the articles means that they can be used by anyone who is a non-specialist in the area, including teaching faculty and researchers. They also can be used in advanced teaching to introduce students to trends and developments in the field.
- Speed: articles are typically produced in 8-10 weeks from receipt of final, peer-reviewed version.
- Continuous publication: new articles are published as soon as they are produced, instead of having to wait for an issue date.
- Cross-searchable: users can search multiple Compasses simultaneously where a topic, for example, spans both History and Literature.
- Durability: all articles remain in the Journal archive indefinitely, which creates a reservoir of useful material.
The Compass Journals are available on subscription to institutional libraries. Follow this link for information for librarians.
There is no print version of Compass.
Recent Trends in the Historiography on Warfare in the Colonial Period (1607–1765) 4 Apr 2018 6:55 AM (6 years ago)
This essay surveys recent trends (since the mid 1980s) in the historiography on warfare in the Colonial Period (1607–1765). In addition to traditional military history and biography, it focuses on works from the new social military history, ethnohistory, identity studies, and the new frontier and imperial histories. It identifies the current state of the field, as well as areas in need of further research and writing. Teachers can use this essay to contextualize the colonial period’s military history, undergraduate students will find it useful as bibliography/research aid, and graduate students can use it preparing for comprehensive examinations.

Sociology Compass
Abstract
In recent years, a research focus on lifestyles has drawn considerable attention from many quarters. Within this area, the influence of several European and continental intellectual currents not widely embraced in American sociology can be detected, some traceable to the work of Michel Foucault. This article will provide a summary and overview of one area of lifestyle sociology that is touched by Foucault’s broad influence on the social sciences, particularly his theories on governmentality.
Governmentality studies consider the manner in which personal autonomy and self-responsibility is conveyed to individuals as an ongoing life-project. Through the lens of governmentality studies, everyday lifestyle choices of individuals are viewed as elements of larger projects of self-development, implemented by therapeutic discourses of risk management, self-realization, and enhanced personal well-being.
After a summary of debates within the sociology of lifestyle informed by governmentality theories, commentary and recommendations will be offered on new directions in governmentality research focusing on subjective well-being or ‘happiness’ as a feature of contemporary lifestyles and as an object of sociological research. A brief survey of new research comprising the interdisciplinary field of ‘happiness studies’ suggests a new direction not only for lifestyle research, but for governmentality studies as well.
