ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´

Ipso Facto: The ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ Journal of Interdisciplinary Humanities is a student-run undergraduate journal initiated in 2021. Our aim is to publish papers written by undergraduate students on an annual basis.

Students are encouraged to submit papers on a wide variety of topics in the interdisciplinary humanities. Papers may either be particular to one field or draw on interdisciplinary approaches to make an argument.  The main goal of the journal is to publish articles and letters that take an original stance on a topic or question.

Submissions for Volume IV will open on November 1st, 2024, and close on January 25th, 2025.

Electronic Versions

Ipso Facto is published both in traditional paper format and online. You can find electronics versions below.

Undergraduate students majoring or minoring in the Bachelor of Humanities, Philosophy, Greek and Roman Studies, Religion, and other humanities related programs can submit as well as recent graduates, as long as they submit papers written while they were doing their undergraduate degree. We are currently limiting submissions to two per person.

Essays that Qualify for Publication:

1. Papers written in a class (if responding to an assigned prompt, the paper must make an original argument with a unique approach to the question)
2. Papers written for a directed research course with a faculty supervisor
3. Papers written independent of any course work or credit.

The Selection Process:

The selection process will be conducted through blind peer-review. In certain circumstances, authors may be contacted and requested to provide verification of grade, or in the case of independently written essays, a qualified faculty member may be requested to evaluate the paper.

All papers will undergo a final editing prior to publication. Authors will be consulted for final approval prior to publication.
