Foresight
Foresight is a periodical which keeps Kentucky's citizens and policymakers well-informed of emerging issues and up-to-date on the activities of the Center. The subscription is free and we currently have over 8,250 names on the mailing list. We accept unsolicited articles for publication in Foresight. An article (3,000 words or less) should focus on emerging trends or issues likely to influence Kentucky's future or the future implications of current policies. Articles can be submitted electronically, by fax, or through the mail. All submissions will be acknowledged and will be returned only if a self-addressed stamped envelope is provided.
