Terrorism and Un-clashing Civilizations

2001-2020 ad infinitum

Submission Guidelines: This is an ongoing multidisciplinary multi-genre international journal devoted to terrorism and un-clashing civilizations. There is no page limit, although we aren't publishing separate books. You may submit poetry, prose, research papers, personal essays, photos, and multimedia. It is open to professors, students, but also the professional and working world in order to publish diverse points of view. There is a peer advisory board to read the submissions, but this is not a standard academic journal. Email julia.keefer@nyu.edu with your paper attached.
