Hello, and thank you for visiting our department’s online journal. Romance Sphere has begun publishing new content in 2018, thanks to the efforts of its new editorial board. We are happy to welcome new submissions from anyone working in French, and hope to soon accept those in Spanish, Italian, Portuguese or Catalan. We are in need of editorial staff able to edit content in languages other than French.

For more information, please contact editorial board members representing the French section, Emma Zitzow-Childs (<echilds@g.harvard.edu>) and Madeleine Wolf (<madeleinewolf@g.harvard.edu>).
