🚨🚨🚨This is the final week to submit your academic and creative works for publication in our 2021-2022 issue! Send your submissions to bit.ly/hardwire5 by 11:59 pm this Friday, January 14th for your work to be considered! 🚨🚨🚨
Hardwire: The Undergraduate Journal of Sexual Diversity Studies at the University of Toronto has opened submissions for academic and creative submissions for our 2021-2022 issue! Hardwire is an interdisciplinary journal centered around the critical analysis of human sexuality. We prioritize q***r, trans, intersectional, critical race, decolonial, and feminist analyses, and seek to dismantle white supremacy, colonization, capitalism, cisheteropatriarchy, and other systems of oppression through our work. We challenge the traditional confines of an academic journal by publishing a range of genres, including creative and artistic pieces. Work from students of all programs and disciplines is welcome and encouraged.
We are looking for pieces from any discipline which actively engage in the dimensions of sexuality. We encourage academic pieces, creative pieces, and pieces that incorporate academic and creative elements. We are open to creative submissions of all formats and genres, including audio-visual submissions that require online display or other mediums not traditionally found in academic journals. If you have any questions about whether your piece is suitable for Hardwire, please do not hesitate to ask.
Submissions must:
● Be of high quality – all pieces will undergo an editing process, but we encourage authors to submit polished pieces.
Visual submissions are preferred in .png format and must be submitted in 300dpi resolution, 8.5x11 in. minimum for full-spread images.
● Be original, previously unpublished work written by current undergraduates at or recent graduates from U of T.
● Include an abstract with academic pieces.
● Include a short artist statement explaining the intent of the piece with creative pieces.
● Be submitted before 11:59pm EST on Friday, January 14th, 2022, at bit.ly/hardwire5
You may submit multiple submissions. Authors will be notified in January whether their piece has been selected for publication. The pieces selected will undergo an editing process during which the authors will collaborate with the Hardwire editorial team to prepare their work for publication.
We are also looking for an art piece to be the cover art for the journal. If you would like your piece to be considered for cover art, please attach a high-quality image and specify this in the application form.
Any questions or concerns regarding submissions or general inquiries about the journal can be directed to [email protected].
We look forward to reviewing your work!
To apply, fill out the form at bit.ly/hardwire5 and submit by January 14th, 2022.
