The Journal of Catholic Social Thought will dedicate at least one issue per year to a significant theme or document relevant to Catholic Social Teaching.   Distinguished scholars will be invited to author original papers for publication in the Journal or for presentation at the annual conference on Catholic Social Teaching, hosted at Villanova University.

Both the journal issue and the conference will be supplemented by an open "call for papers."  Details on how to contribute to the Journal and/or the conference, including deadlines for responding to such calls will be posted as they become available.

Alternate issues of the Journal may include a "special feature" section which will be dedicated to exploration of particular topics, issues or themes related to Catholic Social Teaching, but will also include unsolicited contributions from interested scholars.

Details on submission of unsolicited manuscripts are available at the "Author Guidelines" link on the sidebar of this site.
