Write for POLIscope

From idea to article, start your journey with us.

  • We seek contributions that are rigorous yet accessible, and theoretical yet actionable. Whether you are writing a short opinion piece or a full research study, your work should resonate with both academic and policy audiences.

    We welcome submissions from:

    • Students and Alumni of all ILGSPD and ILSPSD cohorts.

    • External researchers, policy practitioners, and academics.

  • Every great article starts somewhere: a blank page, an idea, and a first step.

    • Do you have a developing idea in mind? Send us a Topic Proposal and we will brainstorm with you.

    • Or do you already have a finished piece? Submit a Draft for us to review.

    We support both pathways. All we is ask is that you ensure your voice aligns with our vision by checking out our submission manual first.
