Submissions, issue 3

Global Impressions publishes short reflective essays (500-750 words) by members of the Smith College community that address what it means to be a global citizen today.

We are currently accepting submissions for our third issue: “Up Close / From Afar,” featuring photographs from the Lewis Global Studies Center International Photo Contest.  Photographs not in the Photo Contest are also welcome.

A camera lens separates the photographer from the subject, but can also offer a closer look into a situation.  Similarly, photographs allow for temporal distance by capturing a single instant that can be viewed and re-viewed, allowing for self-reflection as well as deeper understanding of the moment.  We are interested in how the image has affected your understanding of another culture, whether in the act of taking the photograph or when returning to it later.

 Submissions will be accepted through January 16, 2015.
