Policies - Philosophy     Lobstick is intended as an accessible "journal" appealing to a wide spectrum of audiences and authors.   We Are: Interdisciplinary Politically Diverse Inclusive Alternative Interesting and Interested Rigorous   Lobstick is dedicated to the advancement of knowledge through research, debate, and the exchange of opinion. We are particularly interested in papers, (opinion and research based) and literary works of a contemporary nature which are designed to stimulate thought and informed controversy. Open to the scholarly community as well as persons outside the walls of formal academic institutions, the journal aims at a broad audience across disciplines and communities.   Lobstick is not intended as a mainstream journal. Rather, papers and works expressing alternative views or with a focus which is cross-disciplinary, cross-cultural, and/or uniquely situated in terms of one or more of geography, ethnicity, class, gender, sexual orientation, and/or political perspective are actively sought.   We Welcome: Academic Papers Social Commentary Artistic Works
