Plenum Undergraduate Geography journal accepting submissions

Written by

****
Plenum, the UW Undergraduate Journal of Geography, is accepting submissions for its Spring 2014 publication! 
Plenum accepts submissions from any department so long as they reflect spatial relationships and the importance of place. We will consider original research papers as well as term papers from any course.
If you are not sure your paper qualifies, we recommend that you submit it anyway! You would be surprised how often geographical themes apply to other disciplines.
We will work with accepted submissions for the purpose of further developing undergraduate work. This will involve several rounds of review and workshop with peers, graduate students, and journal editors. 
We will be accepting papers until mid-February.
Please direct your questions and submissions to uwgeogjournal@gmail.com. You can find out more on at plenumjournal.org.
Sincerely,
Breanna, Jacob, Richard, and Stella
Plenum Editorial Board 2014
