The Journal of Student Leadership (JSL) is a double-blind, peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary, academic journal that addresses ideas, theories, and issues of leadership. This sets us apart from other academic journals because we feature high-quality content from students, faculty, professionals, and practitioners alike. All submissions undergo a peer-review process. The journal's two purposes are to:
We welcome papers, essays, poems, and artwork on leadership topics from all relevant disciplines, including business, education, law, policy, social sciences, arts, humanities, history, and technology. We invite perspectives on leadership from every sector of the academic community. Academicians and students are equally welcome to send their papers to the editors of the Journal before the formal submission for feedback and likelihood of acceptance.
