We are pleased to inform you that the call for posts for University of Venus, July 2012 is currently open. The next deadline for submitting posts will be June 15, 2012.
The University of Venus is an award-winning, peer-reviewed blog bringing together GenX women in higher education from around the globe. We can be found on Inside Higher Ed at BlogU (link here). Inside Higher Ed is an online publication focused on issues in higher education with offices located in Washington, DC in the USA. IHE was founded in 2004 by former managers/editors from The Chronicle of Higher Ed and the publication provides free online access to all of their articles.
We generally publish posts three times a week, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 9am UTC+12. We accept posts in English, Spanish, Arabic, and Chinese, with a goal of reaching a global readership. (If you would like to submit a post written in another language, we are pretty flexible)
Posts should focus on current issues in higher education and should be no longer than 750 words. Most of our posts are written in a first-person narrative style to encourage a broader reach to a more general audience but we also welcome research-based posts. (Note – Although our focus is on GenX women, we also publish posts written by older and younger women and posts written by men.)
