About The Mantle

The Mantle provides a forum for the next generation of leaders to be heard—a space for opinions that are different from those found in traditional, established outlets.

The Mantle encourages emerging voices from around the world to participate in the shaping of social and political discourse. With increasing interconnectedness brought on by the forces of globalization, we believe it is imperative everyone be given a chance to shape social, economic, artistic, and political discourses.

The Mantle’s objectives are achieved through critiques and essays on important aspects of daily life (in our Books, Films, Arts & Culture and Politics & Society pages), and in our growing Blogs section.

Some issues, however, require more space to fully flesh out. Hence, the virtual Roundtable, The Mantle’s flagship element wherein emerging thinkers from a variety of backgrounds debate and discuss the merits of a given question. These roundtables provide a deeper space for young intellectuals to explore a topic, and to further and stimulate the general discourse of a particular subject.
