Penumbra is the official, refereed, scholarly journal of Union Institute & University’s Ph.D. Program in Interdisciplinary Studies. The journal is published at regular intervals and dedicated to challenging traditional academic and creative disciplinary boundaries in the context of social change.

Penumbra’s purpose is to promote theoretically informed engagements with concrete issues and problems. The journal publishes socially engaged, innovative, creative, and critical scholarship with a focus on ethical and political issues in the humanities, public policy, and education and leadership. Penumbra is a peer-edited and peer-reviewed journal committed to spanning the divide between scholarly and creative production, and to fostering work from graduate students, junior scholars, and emerging artists, in addition to more established critical and creative voices.
