Submission Guidelines

We are open to receiving articles from any faculty and encourage you to pursue diverse opinions and subjects.

We especially encourage submissions from First Nations People and members of the LGBTQIA+ community who can give a voice to issues that are underreported.

We do ask that your article relate to business or economics, although these concepts can be expressed or contextualised through a broad range of disciplines.

For example, on the subject of inflation, a:

• Business School student may discuss its impact on monetary policy or specific industries,

• Faculty of Arts student may discuss how it impacts the arts industry, or cultural norms,

• Faculty of Medicine, Health and Human Sciences student may explore its impact on access to nutrition, health outcomes, or psychological impacts, and

• Faculty of Science and Engineering student may quantify it and provide a data-driven analysis (many famous economists studied engineering!).
