This article is about an academic **journal**. For information about the unrelated **social dance**, see [Yankee Dutch crossing](/source/Yankee_Dutch_crossing).

***Dutch Crossing*** is an [interdisciplinary](/source/Interdisciplinary) [peer-reviewed](/source/Peer_review) [academic journal](/source/Academic_journal) devoted to all aspects of Low Countries studies: [history](/source/Low_Countries_history) and [art history](/source/Art_history), [Dutch](/source/Dutch_literature) and [Flemish](/source/Flemish_literature) (and occasionally [Afrikaans](/source/Afrikaans_literature)) literary and cultural studies, [Dutch language](/source/Dutch_language), Dutch as a foreign language, and intercultural and transnational studies. Its stated purpose is to cover "all aspects of 'Global Dutch', not only the [Netherlands](/source/Netherlands) and the [Dutch-speaking part of Belgium](/source/Flanders) but also other places where Dutch historically had or continues to have an impact, including parts of the Americas, Southern Africa, and South-East Asia."[1] A special focus concerns exchanges between the Low Countries and the English-speaking world in all periods from the late [Middle Ages](/source/Middle_Ages) to the present day. *Dutch Crossing* is the official journal of the [Association for Low Countries Studies](/source/Association_for_Low_Countries_Studies)."[2]

## History

Since 1977 the journal has been edited at the Department of Dutch, first at [Bedford College](/source/Bedford_College_(London)), Regent's Park, then since 1983 at [University College London](/source/University_College_London). From modest beginnings as a departmental magazine it developed into one of the main English language journals of interdisciplinary Low Countries studies,[3][4] and in 1997 it became the journal of the Association for Low Countries Studies. In the 2009 Journal Awards of the [Council of Editors of Learned Journals](/source/Council_of_Editors_of_Learned_Journals), *Dutch Crossing* received an honourable mention in the [Phoenix Award for Significant Editorial Achievement](/source/Phoenix_Award_for_Significant_Editorial_Achievement).[5][6][7] The journal is published by [Maney Publishing](/source/Maney_Publishing) and appears three times per year.

## Name

The name 'Dutch Crossing' reflects the journal's focus on exchanges between the Low Countries and the Anglophone world,[8] although the term, like many similar [English expressions with 'Dutch'](/source/Dutch_Courage) from the 17th century when [the two countries were frequently at war](/source/Anglo-Dutch_Wars), was originally meant pejoratively.[1]
