The Arts and Science digital publication editorial Committee- composed of Ross Bullen, Ian Keteku, Michelle Miller, Kathy Kiloh, Maria Belén Ordóñez, and Suzanne Stein - are thrilled and so pleased to announce the second Issue of the Arts and Science Review, Writing Upside Down Worlds. This Issue contains a collection of fourteen student papers, selected from faculty nominations of best student writing from the 2020-21 academic year.
We applaud the students whose papers were selected. It was a delight to team up with students to edit their excellent essays and collaborate on the website over the summer months. One goal of this publication is for continued collaboration between students and faculty so that the website becomes a unique public showcase of Arts and Science at OCAD University. This website is a platform to highlight the writing, resilience, and creativity of students- and the faculty who support them.
Thank you to Nicole Vella, web designer and Digital Futures undergraduate student who continues to work closely with both IT and The Review Committee on this digital publication. We are also grateful for the funding received from the Faculty of Arts and Science, which made it possible to award Greta Hamilton with a cash prize for their essay, “Black Hauntology in Claudia Rankine’s Citizen: An American Lyric”. Faculty funds also continue to assist in maintaining the website. A special thanks to this year’s faculty Committee who generously volunteered their time over the summer months.
We are sure you’ll enjoy the second Issue! Stay tuned for the next essay submission call at the end of Fall and Winter Terms. The Committee for this publication is formed at the end of April. All nominations from the Fall and Winter term are reviewed once a Committee and process have been established. We encourage you to share The Arts and Science Review as widely as possible !
