I am working this year with a number of other faculty and students at my college to produce a small academic journal. Mostly socialoigy and English Literature based but it is open to all approaches under a general subject.

We are finishing up our 'Call for Submissions' now and while most of the journal is to be essays we are also accepting photography (B&W internal/Cover is possible). If I posted the "Call for submissions' here how many would be interested? The topic would be 'Changing Minds' but the call would give you more details.

I'm always up for a challenge :)

I'd kinda like to try too.

Perhaps I will push the idea of the cover being open to submissions also... give color and option.

I'm game :)

I'd like to give it a whirl.

Well, what's the reason not to post it? It's not like you have to pay for it...:-)

i'm in ;-)

No reason not to post it, besides it is not written in final form yet. Anyway, this is just guaging interest and seeing what people think. Should be all set to post within two weeks. Just have to pick the final language and get the e-mail with reasonable limits on attachments set up.

Wild idea: have it as a challenge, and let EVERYONE contribute a picture based on the theme "Changing Minds." Probably get some really wild pictures!

Don't suppose you're looking for articles outside the campus community as well as the photos??? If picked, the publication credit certainly couldn't hurt my chances with Ph.D. programs as I apply...

Seems like you sparked a lot of interest (including mine). Hope you're able to post some more details soon before people change their minds.

Patella, papers also. I will post the full call for submissions so you can do a paper also if you wish. In fact I would encourage it.

Cool beans -- thanks for the heads up.

This has its own thread, but I decided to put it here also.


CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS 2003:
CHANGING MINDS

Deadline: January 1st

Changing Minds is a student run interdisciplinary journal committed to the open exploration and debate of issues that move to often through conventional thought without question. Investigative approaches encouraged within these issues include: poetry, belletristic essay, critical/research essay short story, photography (B&W), and other artwork.

Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself. – Leo Tolstoy

As a new journal among many, choosing a theme for our first issue seemed a daunting task. With the massive amount of important and relatively unexplored social questions that exist for each of us to discover, which issues rise above the rest? Our decision to welcome inquiry into how and why people’s minds change seemed more reflective of the core purpose behind Changing Minds than a specific focus upon any single social problem. It is this attempt to understand and effect change that is at the heart of challenging cultural, political, economic, and philosophical assumptions among others). Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

-What prevents us from changing our opinions?
-Does debate truly encourage people to change their minds, or does it actually prevent the formation of new opinions?
-Can one look at the opinions of others accurately without looking closely at their own assumptions?
-What is the role of mainstream media in the formation of public opinion? Does it allow for people to change opinions or work against it?
-Is action necessary to prove an opinion has truly changed; is saying one has changed enough?
-Is violence an option in changing opinions?
-If one can’t live outside of one’s basic assumptions, what effect does an absence of change have one’s agency?
-Does academia serve to foster or prevent the changing of minds?
-Does experience override education (or vice versa) in the formation of beliefs, values, and opinions?

Submissions should be previously unpublished and range from 8 to 25 pages. This may come in the form of one essay or story, an individual or (short) set of poems, or photographs and other art pieces. Multiple submissions within a single category are not permitted. Submissions for multiple categories, however, are permitted (e.g., one poetry submission and one essay submission). The author’s name, submission category, address, institutional affiliation, and e-mail should be included on a detachable cover-sheet with all submitted work. Only titles should be placed on the actual work submitted. Submissions should use MLA format, and electronic references, while not prohibited, are discouraged due to the short lifespan of such sources.

Send two copies of submissions to:

Changing Minds
Box 290
University of Maine at Presque Isle
181 Maine Street
Presque Isle, Maine 04769

Alternatively, electronic copies may be sent to: changing@umpi.maine.edu

All such submissions must follow the above guidelines and be formatted as Microsoft Office 97 (Word) or higher. Please include “Changing Minds” on the subject line.
