Winter Submission Period Opens!

January 30, 2011

The winter submission period for The Forum is fast approaching.  You may submit research papers, historiography papers, and book reviews from Tuesday, February 1, 2011, until Monday, February 28, 2011 at 11:59:59 p.m.  Be sure to use this website to familiarize yourself with The Forum‘s submission rules.
 
This means that…YOU CAN HAVE YOUR ESSAY PUBLISHED!  This is a great opportunity that allows you to showcase individual ability while also bringing recognition to Cal Poly. We accept submissions from students at all levels of study, so whether you are a wide-eyed freshman or a thesis-consumed graduate student, you are eligible! Moreover, we accept papers from all disciplines so long as they are historical in nature. (Possibilities include political science, ethnic studies, and philosophy.)
 
If selected by the editorial board, your paper will be included in our annual printed journal, which is also available online via the Cal Poly Digital Commons database.  All participating authors will be notified in late March or early April of the status of their submission(s). 
 
Further, there have been changes regarding The Forum’s “recency requirement.”   To reduce confusion in the submission process, papers written for courses dating to the fall of 2009 are eligible for all 2010-2011 edition submission periods.

We look forward to receiving your submissions!


The Forum Wins!

October 29, 2010

The Forum has been awarded first prize in the “electronic journal” category and third prize in the “print” category of the 2010 Gerald D. Nash Journal Award contest.  As Dr. Graydon A. Tunstall, the Executive Director of Phi Alpha Theta, remarked, “the Alpha-Nu-Gamma chapter at California Polytechnic State University stands as an example to the more than 870 chapters of Phi Alpha Theta.” 

The Forum sends a big “thank you” and “congratulations” to last year’s executive editors, editorial board, contributors, and Dr. Trice.  Hopefully this year the journal will take first prize in both categories!

Keep the submissions coming!  There are only 25 days left in this submission period!
