Trending and Emerging
- Decolonization and Indigenous Histories:
There is an increasing focus on decolonization and the histories of Indigenous peoples in the Acadian region, as scholars seek to reclaim narratives and address historical injustices, aligning with broader movements for social justice. - Intersectionality in Historical Narratives:
Emerging scholarship in ACADIENSIS is increasingly examining the intersections of race, gender, and class within historical narratives, highlighting the complexity of identities and experiences in the past. - Environmental and Climate History:
Research exploring the environmental history of the Acadian region is gaining traction, especially in the context of climate change and its historical impacts on communities, reflecting a growing awareness of ecological issues. - Public History and Community Engagement:

Declining or Waning
- Traditional Military History:
There has been a noticeable decrease in the focus on traditional military history, which once constituted a significant portion of the journal's publications. This decline may indicate a broader shift towards social and cultural histories that prioritize human experiences over military narratives. - Purely Economic Histories:
Research centered exclusively on economic histories, such as trade and industry without sociocultural contexts, seems to be waning. Scholars are increasingly integrating economic themes with social justice and environmental considerations. - Eurocentric Perspectives:
The journal has seen fewer articles that strictly adhere to Eurocentric perspectives of history, as there is a growing emphasis on decolonization and the inclusion of Indigenous and non-European viewpoints.
