Essays should be between 1,500 and 2,500 words and should not have been previously published elsewhere. Green Agenda aims to go beyond opinion and commentary, encouraging engaged analysis of themes and ideas.
We are open to different kinds of contributions ranging from creative writing to visual essays, and plenty more, please contact the editor to discuss.
Green Agenda
Green Agenda is an online journal and project dedicated to publishing and working with grounded forms of writing – writing by people and from places, projects, and communities, where transformative or prefigurative change is already at play, across so called Australia and the region.
Our work, like that of the green movement around the world, is underpinned by a commitment to ecological sustainability, social and economic justice, peace and nonviolence and participatory democracy. Green Agenda is a project of the Green Institute.
We publish mainly long-form essays, although welcome other mediums such as interviews, visual projects, and creative content.
Who can contribute?
We work with social justice, antiracist, and ecological commitments, and in favour of Indigenous sovereignty. We welcome contributions from all who share an interest in exploring ideas that are consistent with left, progressive and green thought and its contemporary relevance.
We especially welcome contributions by Indigenous and racialised writers, researchers, scholar-activists, artists, and community organisers seeking to deepen our understanding of place, Country, ecology, democracy, politics, and justice.
