Call for Contributions – Critical Forced Displacement Magazine
Boston University’s Center on Forced Displacement invites contributions to our new interdisciplinary, multi-genre magazine. The magazine, published quarterly, will bring together a variety of original works across disciplines in a peer-reviewed publication that examines the global challenge of forced displacement through a multi-faceted lens. For our online publication, the entries can be broadly related to any theme of forced displacement and for our print publication, the theme for the first edition is Borders.
We are interested in a wide range of types of writing and genres, including, but not limited to:
- Original essays and perspectives (3000 words or less)
- Research and Field Reports (3000 words or less)
- Book reviews
- Op-Eds (800 words or less)
- Original artwork
- Poetry
- Short stories
- Photographs
- Mixed-genre pieces
Please send your piece to our project coordinator Baiden Wright at (baidenw@bu.edu) by January 26, 2024. We anticipate launching the first edition at our annual conference in April 2024. We will consider submissions from scholars, practitioners, artists, advocates, policymakers, and concerned citizens, regardless of current publication status, university or professional affiliation, career stage, or manner of university affiliation (student vs faculty/staff status).
