Publishing:
I found a really cool webpage with lists of journals for undergraduates to contribute to in art and literature. It's found at: http://unl.libguides.com/content.php?pid=207791&sid=1732413
A couple promising journals are:
Young Scholars in Writing: Undergraduate Research
A refereed journal dedicated to publishing research articles written by undergraduates in a wide variety of disciplines associated with rhetoric and writing. The Journal seeks theory-driven and/or research-based submissions from undergraduates on the following topics: writing, rhetoric, composition, professional writing, technical writing, business writing, discourse analysis, writing technologies, peer tutoring in writing, writing process, writing in the disciplines, and related topics. Submission deadline June 30.

(With its emphasis on rhetoric this one might be good for Kasey)
and...
Intersections
Intersections is a peer-reviewed quarterly online journal that features student essays and theses from a wide range of disciplinary locations within the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences. They welcome submissions from students outside the University of Washington community.

Also, this isn't formal sharing but it's a cool way to share ideas about Shakespeare on an academic level:
The Global Electronic Shakespeare Conference
“SHAKSPER, now in its twenty-third year of serving the academic community, is an edited and moderated, international, e-mail distribution list for discussion among Shakespearean scholars, researchers, instructors, students, and anyone sharing their academic interests and concerns.”
Researching:
I’ve needed to strengthen the context portion of my paper,
so I went to the good ole’ library and got a couple of books on Twelfth
Night. Seeing book after book on my
subject was like seeing present after present on Christmas. I found some
helpful information on the historical aspects of the play that I'm tying into my paper.
Sarah,
ReplyDeleteI'm interested to know how you stumbled upon those resources, especially the Young Scholars in Writing.
Which of those resources do you think will be most beneficial to you?
That website you shared at the beginning is great! Thank you for sharing it!
ReplyDeleteJohn,
ReplyDeleteI found these resources by searching for undergraduate journals online. Someone had created a webpage with a list of possibilities. I'm thinking about looking into Intersections in more depth because it has a broader scope than the Young scholars in Writing.
Wow, these all look like awesome options! I like the shaksper.net idea of sharing your work through an academic online discussion board. I think the other two could be great as well... Thanks for sharing!
