Global Voices at York: An English Language Studies Magazine is an online platform launched by York University’s ESL and English Language Studies Program. This magazine offers updated ‘News’ on virtual, hybrid, and in-person curricular, co-curricular and extra-curricular events taking place at York University and our campuses’ surrounding areas. It also integrates websites linked to university-wide resources that are designed to promote students’ academic success within and beyond our program’s courses.
Global Voices at York recognizes and celebrates current and former students’ accomplishments, career paths and future goals. Through the process of peer-review, our Editorial Board provides our students and alumni the exciting opportunity to have their works identified and published on a bi-annual basis. All interested students are encouraged to submit their works directly, through our website’s ‘Submissions’ tab.
