We are now reading papers for Volume 9 (2026)<\/span> written by undergraduate students of Seton Hall University and completed within the period of Spring 2024 to Spring 2026.<\/strong> We encourage a writing style that, while erudite and conversant with the author\u2019s specific area of research, is also accessible to non-specialists. Works that draw from theories, methods, practices and perspectives of two or more disciplines written in an accessible manner are encouraged. Manuscripts will be peer reviewed by undergraduate student editors of the College of Arts and Sciences<\/a> who represent the Humanities, Sciences, and Social Sciences. However, contributions from student authors from all Seton Hall colleges and academic units will be welcomed.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
