We Are Accepting Submissions

Our blog features monthly thought-provoking art and written psychedelic pieces from our members. The opinions of the authors do not represent those of IPN as an organization. If you are interested in submitting a blog post, please apply to be an IPN member (if you are not already), review the following, and send your submissions to media@intercollegiatepsychedelics.net.

Criteria and Considerations:

  • Provides a unique or undervalued perspective in the psychedelic space

  • Written pieces must be no more than ~2000 words

  • Opinion pieces should be evidence-based with references

  • Submissions are reviewed on a rolling basis

  • Selected pieces will undergo ~2-3 rounds of peer review before publication.

Full disclosure: The blog coordinator and the ad-hoc review committee for each submission reserves the right to reject a submission outright after the first round of review. This is uncommon but can happen if claims are not well-founded and/or if the submission requires too much editorial work. This is done at the discretion of the review committee.

Her research focuses on the neurophenomenological effects of psychedelics and their potential for inducing lasting behavioral changes. Haley pioneered the creation of IPN’s PsychedelX program in 2020 and 2021 along with the rest of IPN’s Research and Professional Development team (now called IPN Labs). Currently, she is working on a pioneering psilocybin-assisted therapy trial for cocaine dependence.
