Graduate Student Journal: Inquiry & Insight

Inquiry & Insight is a peer reviewed and student run journal that addresses contemporary issues within the field of political science.

We are excited to give graduate and undergraduate students the opportunity to publish their work in our academic journal. In order to give voice to new and diverse ideas, we have broadened our focus internationally and have invited students from across Canada, the United States, Europe and Asia to submit their work.

The aim of this publication is to further theoretical, empirical and normative understandings of political science by addressing a broad range of issues. We encourage submissions in the areas of International Relations, Peace and Conflict Studies, Political Theory, Canadian Politics, Public Policy, Political Economy, International Development and Environmental Politics. To maintain academic integrity, papers will be selected based on originality, conceptualization, operationalization, and methodology.
