Justice Everywhere is a blog which publishes short articles which help to shed light on contemporary issues and enduring philosophical debates. We invite contributions from academics, students, and others who share our interests and our belief in making philosophy accessible and relevant.
You can submit a one-of piece, or join our team of regular contributors. If you have any questions, please get in touch at justice.everywhere.blog [at] gmail.com
Blog formats
We publish a number of different types of blogs on Justice Everywhere. The list below offers an overview of the most common types. If you’d like to do something different, however, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.
Extended posts: our usual format of circa 800-1,000 words
Announcements: we do not want to overload the website with this material, but it can certainly be used to advertise things relevant to the aims of the blog and the topics we cover, such as:
- Call for Papers for a conference
- Job announcements
Research interviews: for example, with authors about recent publications or research projects.
Responses to news: Our standard extended posts should ideally relate to or engage with political developments, social issues etc. However, there are a number of additional ways in which we can discuss the news on Justice Everywhere:
- Taking a prominent news story and identifying a key moral thread within it / offering quick normative comments on it
- Identifying two or three recent news stories through which there is a common moral concern or simply placing together a few prominent bits of news for comment
- Getting a number of contributors to write a brief comment on a particular news story, where each contributor writes a short paragraph or two. For example, see our Philosophers’ Rundown on the COVID-19 crisis.
Series/themes: essentially the blog equivalent of a special issue – have a collection of posts around a common theme. It helps to have these fairly well organised in advance to avoid non-deliveries, but they can easily be made to work. For example, see our recent series of posts on Fatigue or our series ‘Reflections on Ukraine‘ based on papers published in Studia Philosophica Estonica.
Presentation advice
When submitting a guest post to the blog, your post will benefit from careful proofreading and editorial advice from one of our editors. However, in order to speed up the process, consider including the following:
- An image that can be used in the article – please make sure you have the right to use the image you have selected.
- Give your blog a clear and attractive title, and use subheadings in the post so that it’s easier to read on a mobile device.
- A brief description of who you are, topics you’re working on, and any social media accounts or websites you want to direct the reader to.
Please note, that we will not publish material that is wholly or partially generated by GenAI such as ChatGPT. Please only submit your own work, and if you’re unsure about presentation, tone or writing style, our real human editors will be happy to help you out. You may use GenAI tools embedded within software (such as Grammarly) for structure suggestions, checking spelling and grammar, but do not allow such tools to replace your own written work. GenAI cannot be used to translate text, including any quotes you wish to use in your posts.
