The Scholarship Without Borders Journal
The Scholarship Without Borders Journal promotes the research and scholarly activity of GSEP faculty, staff, students, and partners which supports the Pepperdine mission of purpose, service, and leadership.
We believe “that truth, having nothing to fear from investigation, should be pursued relentlessly in every discipline” (GSEP Affirmation Statement), and pursue this standard with rigor, respect, and tolerance for disagreements.
