Presenting Volume 5 of Splice, the Undergraduate Research Journal of the SDSU College of Arts and Letters, originally printed in the Fall of 2019. This issue marks a fresh start for the journal, following a major redesign from its previous incarnation, "URJCAL: The Undergraduate Research Journal of the College of Arts and Letters." As Editor-in-Chief Jana Jarvis explains, the redesign "upholds our mission of engaging undergraduate students with the rigors of academic research and maintains our core values as a collaborative, multidisciplinary text."
This issue represents a new chapter for Splice and for the students and alumni of SDSU. Featured within Volume 5 are thought-provoking essays that explore a wide range of topics, demonstrating the intellectual curiosity and academic rigor of SDSU students. Here’s what you’ll find inside:
