*We are currently not accepting blog submissions
Thank you for your interest in contributing to the Berkeley Center on Comparative Equality (BCCE) blog! Please read the following guidelines on submitting a blog post to us for publication. We look forward to reading your submission.
The BCCE Blog aims to promote dialogue between equality/anti-discrimination law academics, advocates and activists from across the globe. We welcome original contributions which provide high quality legal analysis of recent equality/anti-discrimination law developments around the world, including case law, current litigation, legislation, policy-making and activism.
Contributions should be accessible to readers from outside your country and, wherever possible, should connect local issues to global concerns.
We look forward to receiving your contributions and thank our contributors in advance for helping us maintain our high standards and ensuring that the Blog is a space where authors can share their work with a wide global audience!
Disclaimer
Points of view or opinions expressed in these postings are those of the author(s), who are solely responsible for the content posted. Posted views have not been adopted or endorsed by the Berkeley Center for Comparative Equality and Anti-Discrimination Law. Blog postings are not intended to address any specific legal inquiry, nor are they substitutes for independent legal research to original sources or obtaining legal advice on specific legal situations.
Guidelines for Contributions
Posts must be between 400-900 words in length.
Posts should include hyperlinks to relevant legal sources and background information, including any judgments, laws, treaties or other legal texts which are mentioned. Hyperlinks must link only to legal or respected news sources. The editors make the final decision over what constitutes a respectable source. Please do not use footnotes.
Posts should be clear and concise, leaving out excessive jargon and verbiage. Posts which are submitted must be fully proofread and must conform to good legal academic style. In particular, the Blog is not a platform for opinion pieces on the news of the day, even if related to equality law: our core focus is on legal analysis of any such developments.
Posts should have informative titles from which a reader can tell what the post is about.
As we have a global legal readership, posts should provide relevant background information to make them accessible to readers from outside your country.
Blog posts are published in English but we are always trying to reach a global audience. If you can provide us with a translated version in another language, we would be most keen to publish this alongside the English version.
Posts should reflect original, unpublished work.
Cross-posting or publication on other platforms is permissible only with the permission of the Editors of the BCCE Blog.
We thank our contributors in advance for sticking to these guidelines, which help us maintain our high standards and ensure the Blog is a space where authors can get their ideas out to a wide audience!
Contributor’s Agreement
By submitting a post to the blog, the Contributor guarantees that the post is a product of their work and is unpublished. Contributors also permit the BCCE to use their post, with full attribution but without further consent, on a non-commercial basis in online and offline publications
We thank our partner the Oxford Human Rights Hub for their original work in developing these guidelines, which we have (with their permission) adapted for our blog.
