Still Time to Submit Stories for the Great Work

We have re-scheduled the date of publication of our next Ecozoic Journal on “The Living Legacy of Thomas Berry.” It will be published in early 2020, rather than late 2019. If you would like to submit (i) a story of how you have lived and will live his legacy, or (ii) a comment on his legacy, there is still time to do so. The new deadline for submissions is January 15, 2020. While we have extended the “final” deadline several times, this is likely truly the final deadline. Submissions should generally not exceed 4-5 pages (2,500) words. Send them to ecozoic.studies@gmail.com as Word documents.
