Volume 5, Issue 2: On Sustaining

CALL FOR PAPERS

Deadline for Submissions: Monday, January 4, 2021

Process: Journal of Multidisciplinary Undergraduate Scholarship invites submissions for issue 5.2, On Sustaining. What does it mean to sustain, to create something sustainable? What should we work to sustain, and how can we do that work? What sustains us? For this issue, we welcome a wide range of approaches to the idea of sustaining, including: 

  • Sustainability and the environment

  • Creating sustainable systems

  • Sustaining activism beyond protests 

  • Sustaining political movements

  • Sustainable farming 

  • Sustenance and support

  • Histories of sustainability 

  • Sustaining and building

We accept two general types of submissions: critical essays and non-traditional (or multimodal) compositions, such as poems, short stories, or digital artifacts. All traditional essay submissions should be 2500-5000 words and follow the appropriate disciplinary guidelines with respect to style and citations. Please include a 250-word abstract outlining project goals and how the contribution meaningfully engages ongoing scholarly conversations. For non-traditional submissions, please expand the abstract to 500 words that details the project goals and articulates how the work would meaningfully add to ongoing critical conversations in the issue.

Please submit pieces for review by following the instructions on the Submissions page of the Process website: www.processjmus.org and include your full name and email address on the submitted document. 

Questions may be directed to the editorial board at processj@uw.edu. This issue of Process will focus on sustaining. Be aware that general submissions not related to this theme, if accepted, will be saved for a suitable future issue at the discretion of the editorial board.
