Invitation to Submit to Endnotes

Greetings from the Indiana Academy of Social Sciences! We are excited about the year 2024 and the upcoming 95th Annual Meeting of the Indiana Academy of Social Science to be held in Evansville, Indiana on the campus of the University of Southern Indiana. This year, we want to hear from you, our members. Tell us what you’ve been up to, academic or otherwise. Do you want to share valuable information? Have you published an article, taken a trip, or visited a museum? We want to know. We’re interested in reporting on all the academic achievements and cool endeavors of our members, so we are inviting you to submit a brief academic blurb or a short article to our newsletter Endnotes. Contributions can be short commentaries on contemporary issues, reviews, community news, personal experiences, academic achievements/publications or any other helpful information related to the social sciences and academia. When submitting please be sure to include:

Email submissions to executive.secretary@iass.org. This year Endnotes is moving to an online format that can be updated throughout the year instead of the annual newsletter. This new design will allow us to connect more regularly with one another, so remember to look out for new articles and features. Hope to hear from you soon!
