Glocality is welcoming submissions! 

Glocality, a student-faculty-run multidisciplinary undergraduate academic journal, is relaunching this September and is now accepting submissions! The journal offers a platform to undergraduate students to share their work with the scholar community and practitioners worldwide. We accept submissions in the form of:

• High quality empirical and theoretical research papers
• Case studies
• Essays

We want to promote academic and scientific applied research that explores the relationship between local and global among undergraduate students and create critical glocal thinking to deal with the challenges ahead of us. We aim to create young schools of thought and develop innovative approaches, solutions and technologies for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Therefore, we welcome and acknowledge papers from students who bring more insight to sustainable development not only for the academic community but also for practitioners.

Glocality is published online and is 100% open access. Articles are published as soon as they are ready, post-editorial acceptance, thus ensuring authors do not experience unnecessary delay to their publication. All papers are peer-reviewed by international experts and academics.

Papers can focus on any of the social, economic, and ecological dimensions of sustainable development:

Society

• Goal 1. End poverty in all its forms everywhere
• Goal 2. End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture
• Goal 3. Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages
• Goal 4. Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all
• Goal 5. Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls

• Goal 11. Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable
• Goal 16. Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels

 Economy

• Goal 8. Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all
• Goal 9. Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialisation and foster innovation
• Goal 10. Reduce inequality within and among countries
