I received the following call for papers from a friend at the Women's Policy Journal at Harvard. Definitely for those of you used to working in academic format. Plus I don't see any word about payment. But, you could do worse than to have a Harvard Journal on your CV. See the details below the break. Your deadlineis January 15, 2007.

The Women's Policy Journal is accepting submissions for its Summer 2007 volume. The journal is a studentrun, nonpartisan review dedicated to publishing interdisciplinary work on policy making and politics affecting women. By bridging the divide between academics and practitioners, the journal seeks to educate and provide leadership that improves the quality of public policies affecting women with the intention of furthering communities' economic, social, and political empowerment.

We seek papers that explore the impact public policies have on women both in the United States and around the world and provide new insight into issues affecting diverse groups of women. Articles and commentaries can also offer a gendered or a woman's perspective on pressing political, social, and economic policy issues or investigate the role of women in the policy-making sphere.
