OUR STORY
THE UNDERGROUND is an undergraduate peer-reviewed journal dedicated to publishing the work of students whose creative endeavors reflect the issues of representation (i.e. PCA, Film, Gender, Fine Arts, Art History, etc.). The goal of this journal is to create an outlet that allows St. Lawrence students to share the results of their work with the rest of the academic community. All submissions must be original and reflective of the learning goals of the above-mentioned fields and of St. Lawrence University.
EDITORIAL POLICY
THE UNDERGROUND is a peer-reviewed academic journal that publishes research-based student work in both written and multimedia formats. The goal of this journal is to provide an outlet that allows St. Lawrence students to share the results of their work with the rest of the academic community. All submissions must be original.

Submissions may be subject to a series of revisions. All work must be submitted in an electronic copy. Students may submit multiple works per semester. Submissions may include but are not limited to, written pieces (i.e. plays, research papers, creative pieces, etc.) and visual art (i.e. photography, video of performances, etc.).

Juraj Kittler, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor in the Performance and Communication Arts (PCA) and English departments at St. Lawrence University. He founded The Underground journal with SLU students in 2011 when the first issue was published and – with brief intermissions – has been advising it ever since. He teaches media and journalism-related courses at SLU. In the past decade, his research has focused on the emergence of early modern information networks in Europe. In doing so, he analyzed mainly the business practices of Late Medieval Italian merchants as well as the establishment of permanent embassies in the context of Renaissance Italy.
