A Celebration of Humanities Journals
On February 5, 2019, the Center cosponsored with the Office of the Associate Dean of Faculty/Humanities “A Celebration of Boston University Humanities Journals.” The event featured a panel of editors representing six nationally celebrated Humanities journals, all of which are associated with BU. The journals featured were AGNI, Arion, The Black Scholar, The Journal of Modern Philosophy, Modern American History, and Studies in Romanticism. In addition to highlighting the unique role each of these journals plays in its own field, the editors discussed the shifting media landscape and its impact on academic publishing, as well as the methodological and disciplinary flexibility that their journals often encourage. The event concluded with a moving, memorable reading of Horace by esteemed poet David Ferry, whose poetry and translations have been published in Arion for many years.
