Articles
Section default policy
Creative / Multimedia
In this category, we accept everything from poetry, photography, moving image, multimedia, installations, websites and cyber-art, and more. We only ask that you submit, along with your work, a written statement/reflection tying the work into the problematics of Global Thought. Please get in touch with a pitch or questions regarding this if you are unsure.
Critical Conversations / Blog
These are shorter-form articles than full-fledged journal articles, and as such are not awarded the same academic identification and are not subject to peer-review. They do still appear in journal issues and can be cited, however. If you have an interesting idea, a research angle you do not have the capacity or resources to presently develop, or want to stimulate academic conversation in a particular direction (or critically respond to an existing article within a previous issue), please consider submitting in this category.
