Call for Papers
Now in its eleventh year, Studies in Social and Political Thought, is a student run journal based in the University of Sussex�s Centre for Social and Political Thought. The journal has dual purpose: first, fostering developments in the inter-disciplinary areas of social and political thought and, second, serving as a publishing platform for junior academics. Past issues have featured articles by well-respected figures such as William Outhwaite and Stefan Muller-Doohm as well as the first publications of a number of promising junior academics.
We will soon re-launch the journal with a newly instituted editorial and international advisory boards. The re-launch aims to elevate the journal to the level of a serious, biannual, internationally recognised peer reviewed journal. We aim to achieve these goals by a number of means, including: expanding the editorial board to include students from other notable institutions across the globe, putting on yearly conferences, soliciting more articles from well-established academics. With these steps we hope to significantly raise the prestige and profile of the journal. This will ensure that the journal can secure high-quality submissions from a wide-range of academics across disciplines strengthening our efficacy as a publishing platform for future academics.
As part of the re-launch, we have attracted a prestigious panel of leading scholars in social and political thought for our newly formed international advisory board, including: Martin Jay of UC Berkeley, Robert Pippin of the University of Chicago, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak of Columbia University, Simon Jarvis of the University of Cambridge, William Outhwaite of the University of Newcastle, Homi Bhabha of Harvard University, Adriana Cavarero of the University of Verona, Alessandro Ferrara of the University of Rome, Axel Honneth of the University of Frankfurt and Fredric Jameson of Duke University.
We are also soliciting a call for papers for the re-launch, for both the upcoming re-launch issue and for subsequent issues. Please consult the SSPT web site for all details on submissions: www.sussex.ac.uk/cspt/sspt.
We look forward to hearing from you!
