Welcome to POLIS!
A Sociology + Anthropology Undergraduate Journal
Here, POLIS wants to create an inclusive space for undergraduate students in sociology and anthropology, offering students a platform for academic engagement, collaboration, and the dissemination of high-quality research. Our vision is to promote academic curiosity within sociology and anthropology and make these incredible works accessible to all. As an open-access journal, we envision an academic space where knowledge within these fields is shared and accessible to all without barriers.
​
Our intended audience is anyone looking to feel inspired by the works of undergraduate students in sociology and anthropology. Our values at POLIS include student empowerment, academic rigour, accessibility, fostering relationships within the department, interdisciplinary engagement, synthesis of perspectives, and importance towards the learning process.
Though focusing on fostering curiosity, we want to explore different epistemologies within the field. As a culmination of different forms of knowledge, we want to create practical and theoretical approaches to some of the prominent issues we face in society.
​
