Contribute to 'Migrant Knowledge'

If you wish to submit a piece for consideration to the blog, please email migknow@ghi-dc.org to sound out your ideas with the blog editor(s) before you begin. We consider submissions of about 2,000 words that fit into the blog’s profile. When you submit your query, please include a note about your academic qualifications. We will let you know as soon as possible if your idea is a good fit. Blog posts are edited before publication.

Contributions must be original texts, unless we have explicitly discussed a rare exception and clarified the rights situation.

The blog format makes it possible to offer preliminary results, tentative conclusions, short think pieces, source discussions, and more. It can also make sense to discuss work you have done that is inaccessible to a broader educated public, whether because of complexity, language, or paywalls.

The prose can be formal or informal, depending on the content of the piece and your own preferences. Please keep in mind, however, that the online reading experience can be different from more traditional engagement with academic texts.

Footnotes are permitted but should be used more sparingly than in a conventional academic publication. Please follow the note format in the Chicago Manual of Style.

Desired hyperlinks should be inserted in parentheses after the relevant section of text.

If you wish to use images, please include them as separate files along with a file containing the necessary captions, source details, and information about publication rights.

Email submissions to migknow@ghi-dc.org.
