CALLING ALL UNDERGRADUATE AUTHORS INTERESTED IN PUBLISHING THEIR ACADEMIC WORK!
DEADLINE: MARCH 5, 2022
We are The Commons, a peer-reviewed undergraduate journal interested in spotlighting young scholarship in political science or politics-adjacent academic fields. We are excited to announce that we are accepting submissions for our upcoming issue! As an interdisciplinary journal, we publish academic work of any discipline that touches on political topics. Our aim as a journal is to amplify the voices of student scholars by providing a “second destination” for their research papers. We encourage undergraduate students to submit any argumentative research papers, analytical research papers, and empirical research papers. We are interested in papers that present rigorous arguments that add to, not simply summarize, an academic discourse. Strong submissions situate their findings within existing scholarship, as well as address the broader implications of their analysis on affected communities and the world at large.
