Dossier: “Boundaries: Relations, Places, and the Other.”

The dossier for Issue #7 of Prokopton explores the theme “Boundaries: Relations, Places, and the Other.” Boundaries shape how we organize political life, define belonging, and react to difference. They determine who is included and who is excluded, whether in the context of nation-states, gendered identities, social categories, or interpersonal relations.

This dossier invites undergraduate students to examine the concept of the “Boundary” from a philosophical perspective, drawing on insights from international relations, political science, queer and feminist theory, psychology, and sociology. We are particularly interested in works that bridge disciplinary divides and bring these fields into conversation with philosophical inquiry.

Submissions for the thematic file are accepted in English only.

Eligibility for Submission

You need to be an undergraduate student in the year of the issue you send your work for. For example, you must be an undergraduate student in at least some part of 2026 in order for us to consider your work for our 2026 issue. Your work should not have been published anywhere before. Undergraduate authors from all fields (not just philosophy) are welcome to submit their work.

Submission Guidelines

We accept philosophical papers of any length and any topic that have a clear thesis and argument(s). However, we normally publish papers that are between 2000 and 4000 words.

Feel free to send your paper in any format you want, and we will contact you with further details regarding style and formatting if we choose to publish your paper. We evaluate submissions mainly in terms of the clarity of writing and the quality of argumentation.
