Undergraduate Philosophy Journal of Australasia We welcome submissions on any philosophical topic from current undergraduates and those who have recently graduated from any university worldwide.

Founded in 2019, the Undergraduate Philosophy Journal of Australasia (UPJA) is the first undergraduate philosophy journal run by students from the Australasian region. We aim to publish work that attempts to make a substantive contribution to contemporary debate. To date, we have had students from 83 institutions in 18 countries submit a paper or referee for us. With the generous support of the Au

stralasian Association of Philosophy, we offer two cash prizes each volume for standout submissions. We aim to be an inclusive and diverse journal that will provide a platform for undergraduate philosophy students to showcase their work. Submissions from women and other members of underrepresented groups in philosophy, including those for whom English is not their first language, are particularly encouraged. You can check out the latest UPJA news on our page, and sign up for our mailing list to receive updates on publication announcements, paper submissions, and referee applications.
