Write for Society & AI — Guest Contributions on Artificial Intelligence, Education, and Society
Society & AI welcomes scholarly guest contributions from educators, researchers, graduate students, practitioners, librarians, and independent thinkers at the intersection of AI, education, and society. Published openly, free of charge.
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, open platform for critical and scholarly writing at the intersection of artificial intelligence, education, and society. We are building a contributor community that reflects the full range of people doing serious thinking about these questions — inside and outside universities, in classrooms and community organizations, across the Global North and the Global South.
We welcome submissions from educators, researchers, graduate students, practitioners, librarians, and policymakers. There are no article processing charges. All guest contributions are published openly and freely accessible to anyone, anywhere.
We are not soliciting AI success stories or product endorsements. We are soliciting the harder questions.
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 are open to other forms of scholarly written work — including annotated resources, teaching notes, short illustrated essays, and practitioner field reports. If you have something that does not fit neatly into these categories but belongs in the conversation, reach out and describe it. We will consider it. 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

About the Platform
Society & AI is an independent research group and open scholarly commons at the intersection of artificial intelligence, pedagogy, and educational scholarship. Our formal peer-reviewed journal imprint — AI, Education and Culture: International Perspectives — is currently under active development. Guest contributions submitted through this call are published openly on societyandai.org as standalone guest posts — editorially reviewed, not peer-reviewed in the academic sense, and published under a CC BY-NC 4.0 license, freely accessible to anyone without a paywall or login.
This platform exists to keep the conversation open, honest, and accessible.
Questions? Write to us at submissions@societyandai.org
Society & AI was established by Sai Gattupalli, PhD, a postdoctoral alumnus of the Advanced Learning Technologies Lab at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. The publication is currently sustained from Hyderabad, India, advancing rigorous scholarship on AI, education, and society for a global audience.
