Hi ENVS students,
Please see the call below for submissions to the journal Whole Terrain. Note that there are cash prizes for high quality submissions from undergraduate students, as well as an opportunity to get published. Written submissions should be 2000 words or less, and are due March 1, 2016.
Greetings!
I serve as the editor for an environmental studies journal called Whole Terrain, a journal of reflective environmental practice. We have a blog and an annual print volume, and we share pieces from practitioners, academics, authors, poets, and artists who are working to put their environmental concerns into action. It is a publication of Antioch University New England.
This year’s journal will focus on the theme of Breaking Bread. We’re envisioning pieces from both the positive and negative sides of the Breaking Bread theme: the broken food system, as well as breaking bread with those around us as an act of hospitality or reconciliation. We are also looking for visual art and poetry.
Do you or someone you know have a story to share, reflecting on your environmental practice as pertains to the food system, sustainable agriculture, agroforestry, the socio-ecological systems that produce our food, or other topic related to “breaking bread” and environmental practice? See our full call for submissions for more ideas and information.
Written submissions should be 2000 words or less, and are due March 1, 2016. (These should be written as essays, creative nonfiction, or fiction, rather than academic papers, but if you want to rework the information in an academic paper to put it in story form, we love those kinds of submissions.) Poets can submit up to three poems, and artists can submit up to 10 works of visual art.
I also wanted to call your attention to our New Terrain Award for undergraduates. If you know of undergraduate students who you think would do a good job writing on this theme, would you please publicize the opportunity to them? There is a cash prize, and their work is published in our print volume.
Submissions should be sent to me at wholeterrain@antioch.edu.
We are also open to receiving submissions for our blog at any time on all things related to environmental practice. Email me with your pitch, also at wholeterrain@antioch.edu.
Enjoy your holiday this weekend!
Cherice Bock
Editor, Whole Terrain
