Ongoing - - Nebula is an online academic periodical interested in all things intellectual with the intention of providing a platform for interdisciplinary reading. Nebula accepts academic articles from any discipline provided that these are written in non-specialist language and in a manner that appeals to a broad audience. In addition, the editors encourage academics and intellectuals to participate in a public debate as regards world politics. Nebula particularly welcomes submissions of a marginal or "against the grain" nature and those that heavily interrogate popular political ideologies in a sound and well-evidenced manner. Writings of high calibre that are particularly underrepresented in other academic periodicals are most welcome for consideration. Nebula also publishes literary and art works and is willing to consider any (graphic, cartoon etc.) material, which can be published on the world wide web.
