November 7, 2025, Toronto, ON – The Zoryan Institute is issuing an open call for submissions to its new academic blog, Scholar’s Corner. The blog is seeking articles that explore the topics of genocide, human rights, crimes against humanity, and related mass atrocities with the purpose of raising public awareness on these critical topics.
Scholar’s Corner serves as a platform for timely, scholarly commentary on urgent global issues related to the aforementioned subject matter. Published monthly, the blog offers readers accessible yet rigorous analysis that connects academic research with ongoing world events.
By contributing to Scholar’s Corner, writers become part of a growing community dedicated to deepening public understanding of human rights, genocide, and mass atrocities. Contributors are invited to submit articles within this breadth that feature interdisciplinary and comparative work on the history, causes, denial, impact, and aftermath of genocide and related crimes, whether emerging today or connected to ongoing struggles. Additionally, pieces that contextualize genocide in relation to conflict, exploitation, colonialism, racism, bigotry, sexism, oppression, and globalization are also welcome.
Submission Guidelines:
- Articles should be between 600 and 2,000 words.
- Each submission must include a brief abstract and author biography (2–3 sentences).
