INSpire is a student-led undergraduate journal of the International Studies Department at the American University of Sharjah (AUS).

INSpire also offers students who wish to pursue a career in academia a unique learning experience in the process of publishing peer-reviewed research.

The journal also reflects the interdisciplinarity of the International Studies Department and the diversity of AUS.

All papers that are eligible for publication with INSpire go through a multi-stage peer-review process by our Editorial Board, which is under the supervision of our faculty advisors. At INSpire, faculty advisors ensure that student editors abide by a formal editorial process and only publish papers that meet high-quality standards.
