Invitation to "Publish with STAIR" Online Event

Online information session held on Tuesday, the 14th of February


St Antonyโ€™s International Review (STAIR) is Oxford's sole peer-reviewed International Affairs Journal. STAIR was established in 2005 by a team of ambitious postgraduate students based in St Antony's College, University of Oxford. Ever since, STAIR has carved out a distinctive niche as a cross-disciplinary outlet for research on the most pressing contemporary global issues, providing a forum in which emerging scholars can publish their work alongside established academics and policymakers.

STAIR is currently accepting abstract submissions for its issues 17.2 and 18.1. The themes for Issues 17.2 and 18.1 are โ€˜The Future of Ukraine in Europeโ€™ and โ€˜Global Britainโ€™ respectively. STAIR recognizes that diversity in international voices and perspectives is vital for the expansion and continuity of the journal, which is why we are now venturing outside a domain that may have hitherto been Anglo/Eurocentric in its outlook. The relevant calls can be found on https://www.stairjournal.com/call-for-papers.

We will be covering more information on STAIR and its publishing opportunities during our โ€œPublish with STAIRโ€ online information session held on Tuesday, the 14th of February (please check the attached flyer for your relevant time zone).
