The Emory Journal of Society, Politics, & Ethics is a peer-edited and peer-reviewed interdisciplinary undergraduate journal made by and for Emory College of Liberal Arts and Sciences students. The journal’s mission is to unlock the superpower of interdisciplinary humanities via public-facing projects at the intersections of society, politics, and ethics.
Housed in and funded by Emory’s Department of Philosophy, JSPE was first envisioned by one of our distinguished alum, Sarah Lee (Philosophy ‘20). Sarah Lee and the editorial team published their first issue in 2019-20, which included peer-reviewed interdisciplinary essays on society, politics, and ethics. After a brief hiatus between 2020-22, JSPE has re-launched as an Interdisciplinary Public Humanities Project.
For more information, check out JSPE’s Special Issue on Justice, Freedom, and Revolution.
JSPE aims to publish two (2) issues a year, one in Fall and one in Spring. They are especially interested in creative or academic work that is relevant to current sociopolitical concerns and pushes the boundaries of the humanitarian disciplines.
Questions about the journal? Contact JSPE at jspe [dot] emory [at] gmail [dot] com. Dilek Huseyinzadegan, Associate Professor of Philosophy at Emory University, serves as the journal’s advisor.
