Does your work involve tackling the COVID-19 crisis through urban measures?
Do you have something to say about the effect of the pandemic on cities worldwide?
Do you have research you’d like to share with a widely-read platform and/or academic circles, including at the University of Oxford and beyond?
If so, consider publishing on Oxford Urbanists as we shift all coverage over to the current pandemic.
Oxford Urbanists, based at the University of Oxford, tackle contemporary urban challenges with innovative solutions through interdisciplinary, global collaboration. (See previous Urbanists publications here.) We co-publish and act as a platform for articles on issues relating to urban and infrastructure development issues around the world. These typically take the form of op-eds, research briefs, or news stories ranging from 750-2,500 words. We also publish interviews of specialist researchers on relevant topics (1,000 words minimum).
Currently, we’re seeking stories related to:
How COVID-19 is changing urban communities
How COVID-19 is rethinking urban governance
How COVID-19 is impacting urban lifestyles
Ideas on post-COVID-19 urban futures
*Note to contributors: Submissions to Oxford Urbanists are unpaid. We encourage contributors to submit pre-existing or ongoing research.
If you have an idea, please read our general pitch guidelines for more detail on the types of contributions we’re seeking, and then send a short note to us at oxfordurbanists@gmail.com.
