Call for Submissions for Issue VI


Consilience: The Journal of Sustainable Development, an interdisciplinary academic journal based at Columbia University, seeks submissions for its Summer 2011 edition.


Articles may take the following forms:


Scholarly Articles: Original, research-based articles that fall between 1,500 and 5,000 words. Please include relevant graphs, data tables, maps, or any other supplementary
material. Priority will be given to interdisciplinary pieces that take solutions-oriented approaches.

Opinion Pieces: Opinions concerning attendant challenges, strengths, and theories regarding sustainable development.

Field Notes: Fieldwork observations that make a broader commentary on the field of sustainable development. We encourage you to submit relevant photographs along with the article.

Photo Essay: Photographic work that offers a unique view on a particular challenge, issue, region, or population related to the study of sustainable development. All photographs should include an explanatory paragraph or two and citations for each photo. Ideally, the photo essay will portray a cohesive or thematic story regarding the material presented.


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!
