​about

see/saw is an undergraduate print journal devoted to publishing original research in art history and art criticism. Founded at the University of California, Berkeley, our publication shares innovative critical work biannually to foster intellectual discussion among an international network of students. As art historians, we are committed to diversifying the field and developing intersectional critical analyses of the artistic canon. see/saw  is especially open to considerations of art and artists that have been historically erased and underemphasized. 

​

see/saw has now opened applications for positions in the editorial and design team. We are looking for additional team members (primarily designers) who are excited to contribute to the third installment of see/saw —to apply, fill out this form. The application deadline is January 20, 2026, at 11:59 pm.​

​​

article submissions​​​

see/saw welcomes submissions pertaining to all art historical genres, regions, and time periods from undergraduate students studying at any institution. We encourage submissions from students at any point in their undergraduate career. The scope of your research does not have to be confined only to the discipline of art history, but must in some way reference art history or theory.

​

There is no page minimum/maximum, nor expected word count. Your piece(s) must not be previously published or pending acceptance from another journal. Please closely reference the instructions in the form below; be sure to upload high-quality images of any artworks referenced along with the work’s title, artist, medium, and date (if possible).

​

Anonymity is integral to the scope of see/saw. Your submissions are subject to blind peer review from the see/saw board of editors to ensure a fair selection process.

 

To submit research, please fill out this form. The deadline for submission is January 20, 2026, at 11:59 pm. We will accept no late submissions. You can expect to receive updates on the status of your submission by early February. If accepted, our staff editors will provide feedback and closely collaborate with the authors prior to publication.
