GCAS Magazine
GCAS Magazine is an inter/transdisciplinary digital platform for initiating dialogues, and a creative space which embraces various domains and modes of thought and communication across the humanities and the arts. Within this shared intellectual landscape, every piece is an opportunity to present and articulate ideas, experiences, and explorations that embody dynamic and lively forms of reflection and inquiry on personal and collective levels.
About GCAS Magazine
In 2013, Creston Davis founded The Global Center for Advanced Studies as an alternative to the neoliberally-oriented model of education that continues to plague the modern academy. It was his goal to create a space where unique people could share unique ideas without feeling obliged to make their thoughts part of the larger “marketplace” of ideas, but to instead communicate outside the bounds of the economic tradition.
Today, there are GCAS nodes located on nearly every continent, and people are seeing the writing on the wall: higher education must fundamentally transform to continue to thrive. Part of that requires sharing well-articulated ideas quickly when events arise or immediate commentary is needed to better understand our world.
GCAS Magazine, while an extension of the Global Center for Advanced Studies, is also a digital destination where independent journalism thrives. GCAS Magazine stands apart from other outlets for its commitment to publish unique voices, art, and ideas at the point of need in our dynamic zeitgeist.
Contribute
As a reader-supported magazine, we invite everyone to share their uniquely human voices. We are open, but not limited, to essays, narratives, commentaries, or interviews, with the possibility of mixing text with visual and audio media.
You can contribute by pitching your piece and sharing how you envision it using the submission form below. We will review your pitch and contact you to discuss the next steps if it aligns with the magazine’s vision and guidelines.
Simultaneous submissions are accepted in all forms. We ask that you let us know your work is a simultaneous submission in your pitch and to notify us immediately if the piece is accepted for publication elsewhere. We also accept pieces that have been published elsewhere, either in full or in part, so long as the work is the author’s and the previous outlet has given permission for syndication.
You can also submit your pitch and writing under “Name Withheld” or under a pseudonym if it fosters honesty and makes you feel comfortable given the topic you are writing about. If you chose to do this, please let us know in your pitch.
