Current Issue
Imhotep Graduate Student Journal is a peer-reviewed journal run by the graduate students of the Department of Africology and African American Studies at Temple University. More than thirty-five years ago, in January 1989, the Imhotep Graduate Student Journal was first published as a platform to explore global African phenomena and to rediscover African epistemologies through intellectual discourse. Imhotep Graduate Student Journal provides an opportunity for developing scholars to gain experience with peer review academic publishing.
We invite current graduate students in Africana studies to submit abstracts for original research papers (15-22 double spaced pages). The journal especially encourages the submission of revised term papers, conference presentations, or thesis chapters. The 2025 issue will consist of submissions which ask a broad range of research questions that foster victorious, African consciousness in this contemporary moment and utilize Afrocentric methodologies to bolster African creativity and well-being beyond the academy.
