  Confluence: The Journal of Graduate Liberal Studies is an interdisciplinary journal dedicated to the publication of scholarly works by students, faculty, and graduates of the Graduate Liberal Studies (Graduate Liberal Studies) programs. Confluence is published biannually and features nonfiction, fiction, poetry and other creative work from students, faculty and alumni of graduate liberal studies programs.

• Zeteo
  Zeteo, the journal of interdisciplinary writing published by the City University of New York, is on the lookout for intellectual essays and research papers that offer the fruits of interdisciplinary scholarship to well-educated, reflective readers. Zeteo welcomes exploratory pieces by established scholars, essays and papers by independent scholars and writers, and promising student work. While most interested in work that takes a generalist approach and spans more than one discipline, they are also open to papers that advance scholarship in a given field. They admit to a particular weakness for vigorous prose, and for essays combining the political, personal, and intellectual.
