Submissions to the UPPR
The UPPR bridges the gap between the traditional academic journal and public-facing political writing. Submitted articles should be thoughtful and well-supported while being written in the UPPR engaging and accessible style - see examples below. UPPR publishes four types of articles:
Investigations — Empirical examinations of important questions about politics, policy, law, criminal justice, and society (8-12 pages).
Academic Book Reviews — Accessible examinations of recent scholarship and the arguments, evidence, and ideas shaping academic debates (2-4 pages).
Books & Film — Essays that use political and social science concepts to examine popular books, films, documentaries, and other media (2-4 pages).
Critical Moments in History — Engaging, historically grounded essays that trace how important or overlooked events continue to shape contemporary politics, policy, law, or society (8-12 pages).
