Food for Thought (and Praxis): The Food and Politics Issue

Submissions Call-Out

Over the last two generations, the food system has increasingly become “controlled” by the international market. Farmers are pushed further into debt; diabetes and chronic illness plagues communities across the globe; and entire countries are faced with famine and starvation while their governments continue to export grains.

For our next issue, we welcome submissions on any topic related to food, food politics, and the implications of the current food system. We are also interested in your art, poetry, and short stories about your relationship to food. Submission deadline will be January 6th, 2012.

You can also send us letters to the editor(s), campus and community events, photos (w/ proper credit), and drawings or designs. Please submit all articles, photos, community event notices, and art to info@yufreepress.org. All general inquiries and submissions can be sent to: info@yufreepress.org.

Suggested word counts: News: 50 to 750 words; Features: max 2000 words; Comments: max 1200 words; Arts: max 1500 words.

If you have not submitted to the YU Free Press before, but would like to, this is your chance. The YU Free Press has experienced tremendous success since its inception, and it is due to the support and dedication of our writers, volunteers, allies, and readers. For that, we sincerely thank you for making us what we are today! Please email us at info@yufreepress.org if you have any further questions! Thank you, and we look forward to receiving your submissions!

About YU Free Press

The YU Free Press is a new and exciting alternative monthly newspaper produced by volunteer graduate and undergraduate students at York University. Our principal objectives are to challenge the mainstream corporate media model as well as to provide a fundamental space for critical analysis and commentary of the news around us – both on and off campus – to a community of student,s faculty, and staff alike. We are firmly opposed to oppression in all its possible forms (gender, sexual orientation, race, ability, religion, creed, etc.) and are dedicated to upholding and promoting a clear vision of social justice through the publication of labour, union, and activist-positive material.
