SSU's History journal, Woodstock, has completed its newest edition and will be ready for distribution on May 7.
SSU History department faculty member Amy Kittelstrom facilitates Woodstock, which consists entirely of articles and essays written by students each semester. The journal has been existent for several years and provides a unique opportunity for students to have their writing on historical issues published while pursuing their education.
"The current issue of the journal is going to include six articles about war in three different categories," said graduate student James McCabe, featured on Woodstock's Editorial Board.
McCabe described the journal as being an "example of the excellent scholarship done at the University."
This issue of the journal has taken two semesters to put together.
"We're all very proud with how the final version of the publication came out," added McCabe.
The content featured in this war edition of Woodstock will examine topics such as the Cold War, Japan in World War II, Gender Ideology and its Impact on the Korean Comfort Women, the Crusades, among a few others.
"The students have been terrific and I've been impressed by their level of dedication to the project and with the result," said Kittelstrom.
The Editorial Board includes Alycia Cronin, Caitlin Dykstra, Carlos Fuentes Gabe Jackson, James McCabe, Jacques Roger Gandolfo-Monk, Emilie Roy, Michael Schneiders, Kelly Solomon and Patricia Wolchik.
Another publication that has also focused on a topic of war is the literary magazine VOLT, Issue 13. Published every spring, this past issue of VOLT features adventurous writing, usually consisting of poetry, that revolved around the idea of war and the United States' current involvement in Iraq.
Headed by English Creative Writing Professor Gillian Conoley, VOLT has received numerous awards and honors, including Pushcart Prize Anthology selections and several selections for the annual anthology, The Best American Poetry. VOLT's newest issue will be coming out soon this season.
