Latest Issue of The Scattered Pelican:
Current Issue: Fall 2025
Our latest issue engages with diverse modes of cultural and literary interpretations of place. Titled as “Travel Light: Apprehending Being on the Move”, it explores the intersecting themes of travel, migration, displacement, politics, and the psychology of movement.
Our guiding principle is to present new scholarship that is pluralistic in regard to methods, approaches, and objects of study within the framework of rigorous comparative praxis.
