the Underg(rad) Journal
This
past year NSPIRG ran the 2nd annual Underg(RAD) Journal: a journal
of research and writing in social and environmental justice. In our first year,
we were open only to undergraduate students at Dalhousie and King’s. This year,
we expanded the journal, to include writing from students at all campuses in
the HRM, as well as non-academic & community writing, and poetry. We want
to create a space to highlight and share some of this amazing work, both
celebrating it in our present day, and archiving it so that it can still be
found in the future. We’re excited about the future potential this project
holds.
