Digital Symposia are back!

The editors at Urban Affairs Review are thrilled to announce that we are soliciting contributions for digital symposia.

Symposia on the Urban Affairs Review Forum facilitate critical engagement of several scholars around a common theme or question of interest. Typically, each symposium will include between six and twelve short articles of approximately 2,000–4,000 words. Unlike research articles published in the journal, these pieces will not go through the typical peer-review process. Rather, they will be commissioned by one of the UAR’s co-editors who will be responsible for reviewing pieces before publication. These articles are intended to be of interest to fellow scholars but also to reach beyond an academic audience to engage policymakers, practitioners, media outlets, and the general public.

For examples of themes and style, please see the Special Series section on the Urban Affairs Review website. Please reach out to Managing Editor Richardson Dilworth and Associate Managing Editor Emily Holloway at urban.affairs.review@gmail.com if you have any questions or would like to propose a symposium.
