Issue III Call for Submissions

Dear Prospective Writers,

Consilience is a global, online journal dedicated to promoting interdisciplinary dialogue on sustainable development I am pleased to announce that Consilience has released its second issue, found at www.consiliencejournal.org, and will now accept articles for the third issue, due to be published in Fall 2009. We also welcome students to submit to the bi-weekly Editorial Column. Given your expressed interest in sustainable development, our Editorial Board invites your undergraduate and graduate students to contribute to Consilience. Below this note you will find the Issue III Call for Submissions. Thank you for your interest.

The deadline for submission for Issue III is April 24, 2009.

Consilience publishes four categories of written work: Scholarly Articles, Opinion Pieces, Field Notes, and Photo Essays. I welcome you to visit www.consiliencejournal.org to view our first issue, released February 2008, and second issue, released March 2009.

Scholarly Articles submitted for Issue III should address current sustainable development policy and its effect on development. Consilience especially encourages pieces that address food or water security, sustainable urban transportation, epidemiology, and growth of the world’s largest cities. Papers selected for publication undergo an intensive peer review and editing process, and work previously written for classroom or individual use is welcome.

All articles should conclude with concrete policy recommendations. We ask all articles to:

Communicate a current problem and comment on the challenges it presents. This section should also address why the policies that have been proposed to solve this issue may or may not be effective.

Present a case study to address a specific policy that addresses the challenges of sustainable development and affects a clearly identified segment of the population, whether a local or international community.

Recommend alternative changes to legislation, or suggest new opportunities for actor participation and policy implementation.

Consilience is also looking for 500-1500 word opinion pieces on any issue relating to sustainable development to be part of the bi-weekly Editorial Column. This is an opportunity to share your views with the larger sustainable development community since your work will be published on the front page of our website! Anyone interested in writing or looking for more details should email opinion editor David Berke at djb2142@columbia.edu.

If you have any questions regarding the submissions process or Consilience, please do not hesitate to contact me at hsl2103@columbia.edu or other members of the Editorial Board at contact@consiliencejournal.org. The Editorial Board and I look forward to working closely with your students and reading their submissions.

With regards,

Hannah Lee
