Write for Society & AI — Guest Contributions on Artificial Intelligence, Education, and Society

The most important ideas about AI and education should not have to wait for a formal review cycle to enter the conversation.

Guest Contributions: Artificial Intelligence, Education, and Society

Society & AI is an independent, scholar-led commons for critical and reflective writing at the intersection of artificial intelligence, education, and society. We are assembling a community of contributors that reflects the full range of people thinking seriously about these questions — inside universities and well beyond them, in classrooms, research settings, and community organizations, across the Global North and the Global South. Contributors to date have written to us from the United States, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and Australia, among other countries, and we hope that list keeps growing.

We welcome writing from educators, researchers, graduate students, practitioners, librarians, and policymakers alike. There are no submission fees and no article processing charges; every guest contribution is published openly, and remains freely accessible to anyone, anywhere.

We are not seeking success stories about AI, nor endorsements of any product or platform. We are seeking the harder questions — the ones without easy answers.

What We Publish

Guest Post Formats

Format	Description	Suggested Length
Opinion Piece	A clear, argued position on an issue at the intersection of AI, education, or society	600–1,200 words
Perspective	A reflective, experience-grounded view from your own practice or research	800–1,500 words
Critical Commentary	Analysis of a current development, policy, tool, or trend	800–1,500 words
Reflection	A personal or intellectual reckoning with AI’s effects on learning or teaching	500–1,000 words
Philopapers	A long-form philosophical or scholarly essay written in first-person narrative, drawing on theory, science, or lived experience — by invitation	2,000–4,000 words

These formats are starting points, not constraints. We remain open to other forms of scholarly writing — annotated resources, teaching notes, short illustrated essays, practitioner field reports — that do not sit neatly within a category but belong in the conversation nonetheless. If you have such a piece in mind, write to us and describe it; we will consider it in earnest. All accepted contributions are published openly on Society & AI and shared through our channels.

Topics of Particular Interest

We are especially interested in contributions that engage with the following:

• What artificial intelligence is doing to how students learn — and how teachers teach
• Equity, access, and who benefits (and who does not) from AI in education
• Multilingual learners and the structural limits of AI-generated language
• The cognitive and epistemic effects of AI tools in formal and informal learning environments
• AI governance, institutional accountability, and educational policy
• What open education means — and what it costs — in an age of proprietary AI systems
• The ethics of AI in assessment, research, and academic integrity
• Practitioner and community accounts from under-resourced and community-based educational settings
• The relationship between AI and structural inequity — including environmental, racial, and economic dimensions
• Honest accounts of failure, unintended consequences, and unresolved tensions in AI adoption

What We Do Not Accept

• Promotional content for AI products, platforms, or services
• Content generated entirely or predominantly by AI without substantial human authorship and critical judgment
• Writing that lacks a discernible argument, position, or grounding in lived or scholarly experience

How to Submit

Send your contribution to submissions@societyandai.org with the subject line:

We will respond within five business days. If your piece is accepted, we will work with you, closely and unhurriedly, on any editorial refinements before publication.
