Call for Submissions: please forward to students
Due: December 15

Undergraduates and recent graduates are invited to submit their work to On
Our Terms, the online academic journal of the Athena Center for Leadership
Studies at Barnard College.  The journal will feature undergraduate
research across all disciplines in the humanities, social sciences, and the
STEM fields, on the broad topic of women and leadership.

Now, more than ever, the theme of women and leadership is being discussed,
questioned, and explored — giving scholars and researchers new ways to
think about leadership as an emerging academic discourse.  On Our Terms
will capture and showcase these discussions through our peer-reviewed
process.  We are a journal created for students, by students, and our goal
is to provide a platform for student thought, debate, and voice.  As your
work is published and presented online, you will be connected to the
network of students from all over the world doing similar research and
engaged in related discussions.

We are looking for submissions – written articles or multimedia pieces –
that re-imagine and redefine the ideas pivotal to women and leadership.
Submissions that relate to any one of the follow themes are encouraged,
though we welcome your creativity!

• women in activism and social movements
• female change-makers in politics, literature or history
• progressive women thinkers and intellectuals
• capturing women’s leadership in fine arts, music, and dance
• women’s influence in a changing global economy

Our priority deadline is rolling until *November 15th*.  Our final deadline
is *December 15*.  We encourage papers in varying stages of completion.  If
you are submitting a piece that is not yet finished,  be sure to include an
abstract or outline of the paper you intend to submit.  To be
considered for our Spring 2013 issue, first submissions must be
completed papers.  Please note that we will need a final piece by our second
deadline, December 15th. Final submissions may be in the form of a research
article, a creative exploration, or an excerpt taken from a larger work.
In your email, please indicate the title of the piece, author(s), and an
abstract or description. All writing samples should be cited in the format
appropriate for the discipline of the paper.
