We welcome submissions that represent any and all voices and are committed to comprehensive representation, inclusivity, and equality of access. Ultimately, our purpose is to familiarise undergraduate students with the rigours of the submission and evaluation process and to encourage them to think creatively about how to present their research.

The Public Sphere Journal at the London School of Economics and Political Science is pleased to announce that submissions for the 2025 issue are now open.
The Journal seeks submissions on the overarching theme of "Navigating Global Shifts: Migration, Instability, Demographic Challenges, and Policy Innovations". The title suggests a comprehensive exploration into integrating diverse voices and perspectives in public policy decision-making processes, advocating for holistic and equitable solutions.
This theme explores migration through the lens of evolving insecurities—economic, social, and environmental—and their profound demographic impact at the global level. In an era marked by instability and conflict, it examines how shifting demographics intersect with challenges such as economic inequality, war, social fragmentation, and environmental crises, including climate-induced displacement. This exploration not only illuminates the complexities of shifting populations but also underscores the policy need for building state capacity to implement comprehensive, forward-looking strategies that prioritize equity, security, and sustainability.
The discourse prioritises understanding migration as both a response to and a driver of systemic change, emphasizing the importance of inclusive, adaptive, and forward-thinking policies. By integrating diverse perspectives, the discussion seeks to illuminate pathways toward fostering resilience, sustainability, and equity amid the uncertainties of our time.
Our theme ventures deep into this discourse, inviting insights that can illuminate a path toward amore innovative policy landscape. Join us in shaping the policy of the future on the global issue of immigration.
