New Undergraduate Journal--Thinking Acts

Joy Viveros, the College Fellowship Advisor, sends along the information below. Given the College’s interest in promoting undergraduate research, this is a good opportunity for some student.

THINKING ACTS
An interdisciplinary, electronic undergraduate journal focusing on a wide range of topics at the intersection of philosophy, politics, cultural studies and literary theory. Provides undergraduates with a forum for discussing the theoretical legacy of classical thinkers (from Plato to the twenty-first century) as well as for theoretical analysis of contemporary world events. Journal aims to support interdisciplinary dialogue, critique, and innovation. Submissions that re-conceptualize the relation between thought and action, theory and praxis, knowledge-production and the techno-political apparatus are especially welcome. February 1, 2007 is the deadline for submission to the inaugural volume to be published in June 2007.
