It’s always great news when a new environmental journal enters the world — or reenters the world.
Here’s the update on Sloth:
Following a hiatus that began in 2021, ASI is rebooting Sloth, its online peer-reviewed, academic, open-access journal that publishes international, multi-disciplinary work by undergraduate students (scholars within three years of undergraduate degree). Masters and early-stage Ph.D. students also welcome. Sloth showcases the important and innovative contributions of undergraduates and recent graduates, giving those who are interested in human-nonhuman animal relationships a way to contribute to and engage in the field, as well as an opportunity to build their skills, knowledge, and resumés in anticipation of their graduate school or animal-work careers. Contributions can explore anything in the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, or fine arts—including scholarly studies, book and film reviews, or artistic products—that relate to human-nonhuman animal relationships. Multiple authored papers are accepted but lead author must be current or recent undergraduates. Find out more here, including submission information.
