The latest edition of Jacksonville University’s Journal of Research Across the Disciplines (JRAD) is out, at http://journal.ju.edu.
The journal, overseen by Ed McCourt, director of the Writing Center and Writing Across the Curriculum, and assistant professor of English, is a peer-reviewed electronic journal dedicated to publishing and showcasing student research.
The 2014 edition includes an essay on Romantic Literature and Science via the work of Barbauld (Alyssa Stubbs); on family life in North Florida during the Civil War (James Thomas); on the effects of a Hunting and Fishing Club’s efforts to preserve a historic site (Richard White); and an artist’s perspective on illustration as a means to navigate a chaotic world (with images, Arelis Resto).
The WAC committee reviews all submissions, which are almost exclusively derived from coursework completed in JU classrooms, McCourt said.
