So you should check out
http://www.gnovisjournal.org/ for some really interesting academic work on a whole host of interdisciplinary subjects.
Here's how the staff describes the journal:
"gnovis is an online academic journal and forum that cultivates new ways of seeing and understanding culture through critical inquiry. gnovis presents work by graduate students pioneering interdisciplinary perspectives on issues in the arts, politics, media, and technology."
One of the new additions they've made this past semester is the
