Opinion Essays

Students and faculty at the Graduate School of International Studies are a vast potential resource for reflective and thoughtful opinion and analysis. This is especially true when it comes to contemporary issues important to the study and practice of human rights. In order to tap this potential, CORD would like to invite students and faculty to submit opinion essays for publication on the CORD website.

All submissions will be peer-reviewed by CORD staff, and should not exceed 1,300 words in length. Stylistically, essays should be similar to "op-ed" pieces found in major newspapers. Please do not submit full seminar papers or other pieces that are heavily referenced. Submissions should be electronic, in MS Word format. Please send submissions as an attachment to an e-mail message to Peter Van Arsdale.
