🚨 Deadline Extension Alert! 🚨

We're excited to announce that we've extended the deadline for our anthology submissions!

This year's theme focuses on the ramifications of conflicts in a post-Covid world, with a special emphasis on states, institutions, and corporations. We want to know how they react and interact in a world that appears increasingly multipolar. With the geopolitical climate in mind, we wish to discuss conflict and confrontation: how do we address them in this changing geopolitical dynamic?

Some prospective topics include the refugee boat crisis in Britain, ambiguities behind energy and gas procurement in the EU post-Ukraine invasion, and displacement from theatres of war in South Sudan, Ukraine, and Eritrea. We welcome features, op-eds, investigative reporting, and photo essays for the anthology, so please submit your contributions using the link in our bio.

Don't forget that submissions should ideally be no more than 1,500 words and include a title and picture with source. You're also welcome to include a short biography and your photo with your submission.

Conflict and Contradiction: Navigating an Uncertain World
.
For this year’s topic, we bear in mind the ramifications of conflicts in a post-Covid world. With a focus on states, institutions and corporations, we’re interested in how they react and interact in a world that appears increasingly multipolar, while accounting for the unique environmental, economic and political problems that affect each country over the past year. Considering the geopolitical climate, with key events such as Turkey’s recent earthquake, the Northern Ireland Protocol, and climate injustice in the backdrop, to name a few - we wish to discuss conflict and confrontation: how do we address them in this changing geopolitical dynamic?
.
In addition to the examples above, some prospective topics include:
(1) Britain’s refugee boat crisis and why it holds importance in UK’s political discourse
(2) Ambiguities behind energy and gas procurement in the EU, post-Ukraine invasion
(3) Displacement from theatres of war in South Sudan, Ukraine, and Eritrea
.
You have full creative freedom! Features, op-eds, investigative reporting, and photo essays are all welcomed in the anthology. Please submit your contributions using the link in our bio. We look forward to reading your submissions!
.
Submissions ideally should not be more than 1,500 words. Please include a title and picture with source to your submission. Additionally, you are welcome to include a short biography and your photo to your submission.
