Seven constructions workers building a high riseCities

April 2006

Idaho is increasingly urban. As the cost of housing spikes and the sprawl of the subdivisions crowd out our open spaces, municipal governments cope.

Rivers

October 2006

Idaho rivers freight great expectations. Fisheries, barge highways, and the lifeblood of agribusiness, our rivers are also the keys to understanding Idaho's political culture.

Next issue has Cities theme, coming April 2006
 

Submission guidelines

Idaho Issues Online invites nontechnical writing for a broad readership. We welcome original features as well as adapted excerpts from publications that seldom reach Idaho voters and policymakers.

Features run about 2,500 words (about ten double-spaced pages), excluding documentation. Idaho Issues Online prefers University of Chicago (Turabian-style) reference endnotes. For commentaries and excerpted research, a bibliography may suffice. We welcome maps, photographs and illustrations that contribute to analysis. Feature submissions should be e-mailed to editor Kathleen Craven at kcraven@boisestate.edu

Idaho Issues Online also welcomes news, bibliography, links and graphics related to forthcoming themes. Postings should be e-mailed to fieldwork editor Christopher Blanchard at cblanch@boisestate.edu

Editorial policy

Idaho Issues Online publishes original and adapted essays about vital topics of public concern. Each semester, we publish an issue around an Idaho theme chosen in advance. Guest editors from the Boise State University faculty work with the staff editors to solicit features from established experts. Peer experts anonymously evaluate features for accuracy and scholarly merit.
