Our History

Originally known as The Pardee Periodical, the Pardee Atlas Journal of Global Affairs is a revitalized academic journal established in April 2021. This website was built during the Summer of 2021 by a small, dedicated, and energetic team of graduate students determined to bring publishing opportunities to their peers.

The website of the Pardee Periodical is no longer online, but may be viewed in archived form on the Wayback Machine. This new site is powered by Boston University, guaranteeing security and posterity for the works published from now on. All works published since the journal’s refounding can be browsed freely on this site—simply click on the Research and Policy or Opinion tabs in the top bar!

The fifth and current Editor-in-Chief of The Pardee Atlas is Jack Whitten. He took over from Alexis Moran, who followed Manpreet Kaur Singh, Christina Duran, and Eduard Miska.
