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.
Guidelines:
-
Submissions must be between 5-25
pages, including a bibliography and notes
-
Submissions must follow The Chicago
Manual of Style (16th or later editions)
-
Submissions must include at least 7
sources in their bibliographies
-
Submissions must be in a docx.,
doc., or pages file format.
-
Submissions must be scrubbed of any
identifying information, including name(s) of author(s) and institutions.
Authors will provide appropriate contact information during the submission
process
-
Authors must additionally submit a
150-300 word abstract of the submission and a 200-400 word cover letter.
-
Authors must be currently enrolled
undergraduate students at a two or four-year institution

Please join us for the Politics and Government annual lecture. Each fall we bring a speaker to campus to help us consider a key question about democracy. This year we are delighted to welcome Mary Fan, author of Camera Power (Cambridge University Press 2019), to help us think about transformations in policing, privacy, and surveillance.
Being back on campus this semester has been wonderful. Yet, we are still in the process of reconnecting to our many communities. So join your PG faculty and fellow students in the Trimble Forum for fellowship and to celebrate having almost completed our first semester back with good conversation and desserts.

Democracy Summer - developed by Maryland Congressman (and law professor) Jamie Raskin - is an educational program dedicated to training the next generation of political activists, organizers, and leaders. In 2021, for the first time ever, Democracy Summer is expanding nationally in partnership with the DCCC and Democratic campaigns across America. We are proud to be a partner campaign this year and bring the program to our region!
Throughout the six week course (Monday, June 21st - Friday, July 31st), Fellows will learn from great activist heroes, young and old political leaders, Democratic policy experts and top political and community organizers across the country. Democracy Summer Fellows with Team Kilmer will also work directly with our campaign. Through this organizing work, Fellows will receive an intensive practical training in the key skills of Democratic campaigning: electoral strategy, field organizing, door-to-door canvassing, phone-banking, text banking, fundraising, policy development and campaign messaging, social media and digital strategy, rally and online organizing, event planning, scheduling, and campaign management.
