The Journal of Politics & Society is an interdisciplinary journal of undergraduate scholarship in the social sciences, published by the Helvidius Group of Columbia University. Founded in 1989, the Journal provides a forum for young scholars to contribute to the global dialogue on a diverse range of issues pertinent to the social sciences.
The Editorial Board of the Helvidius Group is seeking submissions of scholarly research from UNDERGRADUATES in colleges and universities around the world. Current undergraduates and recent graduates may submit work they completed as undergraduates. In addition, the Journal of Politics & Society will award a cash prize to the author of the article judged most worthy by the Editorial Board in conjunction with faculty at Columbia University.
The Journal of Politics & Society is seeking original, creative, and rigorous articles in the fields of political science, economics, sociology, history, psychology, linguistics, law, anthropology, criminology, cultural and area studies, development studies, and demography.
