PEACE REVIEW: A JOURNAL OF SOCIAL JUSTICE seeks Peace Profiles for its
subsequent issues. In each of our quarterly issues, we run a Peace
Profile, which describes the peace or human rights work of an
individual or group. We're looking for more of these profiles, in
essays of between 2500-3500 words. The individual or group profiled
may be historical or contemporary. Very well known figures might have
already been profiled, and thus we're more interested in lesser known
but still significant individuals and organizations. Peace Profiles
may be submitted at any time, although our writer deadlines are
generally in mid-October, mid-January, mid-April, and mid-July. Please
