2023-24 Issue: open for rolling submissions
We have launched our 2023/24 Annual Issue!
We invite individuals from a broad range of disciplinary backgrounds to submit contributions related to our 2023/24 theme: Towards a ‘Just Transition.’
We invite contributors to explore the principle of a ‘Just Transition’ through a range of interdisciplinary lenses, both critical and hopeful. Whether your passion is development or security, human rights or finance, we want to uplift your ideas about the sustainable transition. We want to hear about the ideological and the technical, the theory and the practice, and offer our readers deeper insight into the many nuances, contradictions, and possibilities of the sustainable transition.

Who are We?
Who are We?
Perspectives is the student-run publication of the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies Development, Climate, and Sustainability (DCS) program. Our goal is to create a platform for sharing ideas about current issues in the field of international development, energy, environment, and climate change.
Previously, SAIS Perspectives was an annual print publication. In 2014, we launched Perspectives' new online home, www.saisperspectives.com, making the journal accessible to readers on a global scale. We accept both short blog entries and longer articles for publication consideration. We also welcome other media, such as photos or video.
