  • Volume 8 Call for Submissions and Mentorship Program

    2023-03-06

    Hello Everyone!

    My name is Jewel Chidiebere (she/her) and I am the incumbent Journal Manager for INVOKE and VP of Mentorship and Academic Journal for SUSA. I’m in my second year as a Psychology major and Sociology minor and am very excited to announce a call for Volume 8 of INVOKE.

    As some of you already know, Vol. 8 of INVOKE was released last Fall of 2022. Our goal for this semester is to ride the wave and continue to bring forward the great work that the previous journal writers and all the peer reviewers have done and publish this volume in September 2023. INVOKE will still be accepting any new or additional submissions for this volume as well as any already submitted manuscripts from our period in remission from Fall 2022 to date. 

    As for Vol. 8, submissions will officially open tomorrow March 7, 2023. This date is going to hopefully give everyone ample time, myself included, to peer review, edit and publish this next volume. The deadline will be to follow but expect it to be sometime in April or May. Make sure when you’re submitting to check the Submissions Page under the About section of the INVOKE site for a checklist and tips for your manuscripts.

    I also wanted to promote that SUSA has started a mentorship program for sociology students! Hopefully, some of you will consider joining and using it as a way to connect with others in the department. Use this link to join: CONNECT .

    Please feel free to contact me with any questions, concerns or queries you might have at jchidieb@ualberta.ca 

    Have a lovely semester,

    Jewel

  • Volume 7 is now Live!

    2022-09-26

    Hello everyone!

    As some of you already know, Vol. 7 of INVOKE was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and fell into hiatus. I am happy to announce that this semester Volume 7 has been completed and published. Many many thanks to the work our former editors Angéle Chenard and Freya Hammond-Thrasher, the five authors  Megan Drever, Téa Lewis, Natalie Read, Sunidhi Wadehra, and Waniza Wasi; and all the peer reviewers have done to publish this volume in September 2022. Please enjoy their analyses of Canada’s relationship with justice, death, and discrimination.

    INVOKE will now be accepting new or additional submissions for the next volume, so please stay alert for our next call for submissions. INVOKE accepts submissions for a variety of sociological subjects, so please feel free to apply!

    As for Vol. 8, submissions open on October 15, 2022. The deadline and publication dates are yet to be determined but expect it to be sometime in December and April respectively. Make sure when you’re submitting to check the Submissions Page under the About section of the INvoke site for a checklist and tips for your manuscripts.

    I will also be looking for new team members, volunteers, and reviewers for Volume 8! Please stay alert for a registration form or meeting.

    I also wanted to promote that SUSA has started a discord for sociology students! Hopefully, some of you will consider joining and using it as a way to connect with others in the department despite the pandemic. Use this link to join: https://discord.gg/Wdt2zyx.

  • Introduction to the New Manager and VP and Vol.7 Call for Reviewers and Submissions

    2022-02-11

    Hello everyone!

    Allow me to introduce myself: my name is Jewel Chidiebere (she/her) and I am your new Journal Manager for INvoke and VP Mentorship and Academic Journal for SUSA. I’m in my first year of the Sociology program and am very excited to be taking on this position.

    As some of you already know, Vol. 7 of INVOKE was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and fell into hiatus. Our goal for this semester is to finish up the great work that Angéle Chenard and Freya Hammond-Thrasher, our previous journal managers, and all the peer reviewers have done and publish this volume in April 2022. INVOKE will be accepting new or additional submissions for this volume; the manuscripts being published are from both the Winter 2020-Winter 2022 call for submissions. 

    As I am writing this in February I am also asking for submissions that have a focus on BIPOC History and subjects as a highlight in the next volume.

    As for vol. 7, submissions opened November 15, 2020. I still plan on publishing those submissions as well as any new ones, while leaving time for each to be reviewed and edited before the deadline. The deadline will be to follow but expect it to be some time in April. Make sure when you’re submitting to check the Submissions Page under the About section of the INvoke site for a checklist and tips for your manuscripts.

    I also wanted to promote that SUSA has started a discord for sociology students! Hopefully, some of you will consider joining and using it as a way to connect with others in the department despite the pandemic. Use this link to join: https://discord.gg/Wdt2zyx.

    Please feel free to contact me with any questions, concerns or queries you might have at jchidieb@ualberta.ca

    Stay safe everyone,
