Our initiative is seeking Black, Indigenous, and Caribbean themed academic and creative work from students and alumni. We encourage works that push boundaries and take risks as we are hoping to create an inclusive platform that elevates radical Black, Indigenous, and Caribbean voices. In that vein, we welcome proposals for academic papers, editorials, opinion pieces, creative writing, and visual arts. Please submit a title and an abstract or short summary of no more than one paragraph describing what you intend to do. 

Additionally, academic submissions will be reviewed through an anonymous student peer review process. It will be a great opportunity to receive feedback from your peers and become familiar with the peer review process.

If you are interested in working with us, please access our google form to learn more information and submit your work. 

The deadline to submit is April 1.
