The Undergraduate Journal of Ethics, Policy, and Social Justice

Where undergraduate ideas meet real-world impact

The Undergraduate Journal of Ethics, Policy, and Social Justice seeks to provide a space for original undergraduate work that exhibits critical thinking through a social justice lens.

Journal Submissions

Call for Papers

Submissions should be 1,500 to 5,000 words and prepared for anonymous review, with no identifying information about the author included. Additional submission details will be announced soon. Please contact Ryan Mendoza at rwmendoza@cpp.edu or Dr. Cory Aragon at csaragon@cpp.edu with any questions.

Shape the Journal

Become an Editor

Associate Editors take a lecture (3 units) during the Spring semester, facilitated by Dr. Cory Aragon of the Philosophy Department. Here, students learn how to critically evaluate papers and give constructive feedback for submissions. Editors then agree on which research papers will be accepted for publishing in the journal.

Create & Contribute

Showcase Art

Once papers have been accepted, students contributing art to the journal will read the accepted papers and create art based on their perception of what they have read. If interested, please contact Dr. Aragon at csaragon@cpp.edu
