Editorial Policy

journal-mockupVoices of Democracy publishes reliable, authenticated primary texts, critical/interpretive scholarly essays, teaching-learning materials, and additional resources relating to great speeches and public debates in the United States. Voices of Democracy welcomes submissions that relate the study of speeches to one of the seven themes or deliberative topics of interest to the project: citizenship and civic identity, civil rights, freedom of speech, religion and morality in public life, social and economic justice, U.S. internationalism, and war and peace. Publications in Voices of Democracy are peer reviewed. Voices of Democracy will be published periodically, as the review, editing, and technical processing of submissions permits.

Submissions should be e-mailed in electronic form as Word documents to:

Shawn J. Parry-Giles at spg@umd.edu.

All editorial inquiries should be directed to Shawn J. Parry-Giles at (301) 405-6527 or spg@umd.edu, J. Michael Hogan at 814-865-1003 or jmh32@psu.edu, or Skye de Saint Felix at skyedsf@umd.edu.
