length (footnotes may extend the word limit 500 words at most). Stance
asks that each undergraduate only submit one paper for the journal per
year. Papers should avoid unnecessary technicality and strive to be

or rigor. They are evaluated on the following criteria: depth of
inquiry, quality of research, creativity, lucidity, struggle,
significance, and, most importantly, originality.

Submission Procedures:
• Manuscripts should be in Microsoft Word (.doc or docx.) format and
sent as an attachment to ballstatestance@gmail.com
• Manuscripts should be double-spaced (including quotations, excerpts,
and footnotes)

name, affiliation, title, and email address. Papers, including
footnotes, should have no other identifying markers.
