Cornell International Affairs Review - Spring 2023 Manuscript Submissions

 The Cornell International Affairs Review is now seeking manuscript submissions for our Spring 2023 issue. We are a student-run, peer-reviewed, and biannually published academic journal at Cornell University dedicated to publishing undergraduate, postgraduate, and expert scholarship on contemporary international affairs. 

The Review seeks to curate papers that present original research and demonstrate novel arguments or interpretive approaches. Papers should preferably address events and trends that are not well-established in current scholarship, yet have immediate global relevance and engage a broader and more diverse audience beyond the traditional academic sphere. We welcome submissions from any relevant field of study and particularly encourage papers that seek to address historically underrepresented demographics, as well as lesser-studied regions, trends, and events. We also heavily encourage the submission of papers that utilize non-English language secondary scholarship or primary source research.

Please read our submission requirements on our website before submitting, or see the attached document. Manuscripts must, among other things, be original research papers between 8,000 to 15,000 words in length and written in English, and pertain to an aspect of contemporary international affairs and international relations without substantially addressing current events. Our final submission deadline is March 14th, 2023. Note that papers that do not comply with the requirements will be summarily rejected. We look forward to receiving and reviewing your submission.

Call for Undergraduate Student Papers

The Pi Sigma Alpha Journal invites submissions from undergraduates of any class or major. Students do not need to be Pi Sigma Alpha members. The Editorial Board routinely receives honors theses, senior seminar projects, capstone projects, and research methods papers. Students may submit after graduation, as long as the research was completed while the author was an undergraduate. 

In general, papers selected for publication are well-written with a well-developed thesis, compelling argument, and original analysis. 

Deadline: February 15, 2023

Many positions are for volunteers, some are paid.

ELIGIBILITY: Any student in good academic standing may apply directly for any listed opportunities for which they have the listed required skills.  It is open to undergraduates of all majors and disciplines with an interest in research.
