Who We Are

Problématique is the official journal of the Graduate Political Science Student’s Association at York University. Since its initial issue in 1991, it has offered, first of all, a place to recognize and share excellent work by graduate students in the York Department of Political Science. Through Problématique, grad students gain experience with the publication process either by working on the journal’s editorial collective, by submitting articles, or by critically reviewing submissions. Successful submissions will also give students an early entry on their curriculum vitae, which can be crucial to their applications for further graduate studies, scholarships or even jobs.

Beyond providing a professional tool for grad students at York, Problématique also offers a space for communication both within York University as well as between York graduate students and those at other universities. We aim to solicit a broad range of contributions so that readers can benefit from diverse perspectives on and a healthy debate about any given issue.

The Problématique Editorial Collective (EC) is precisely that: a collective. We strive to reach consensus on all decisions, recognizing the intrinsic merit of each member’s voice. The EC is comprised primarily of, but not limited to, graduate students in York’s Political Science Department.

On the current editorial collective: Annelies Cooper, Karl Gardner, Adam Kingsmith, Samantha Manley, Mustafa Masood, Umair Muhammad, Brent Toye, Robin Verrall, Julian von Bargen.
