Academic Journal

Dear Reader,

It is with great pride and enthusiasm that I present to you the sixth volume of ASFA's Academic Journal, Between Arts and Science. This journal, a student-founded, student-run initiative, stands as a testament to the incredible talent and diversity of undergraduate students within the vast Faculty of Arts and Science. Our journal brings together work from a wide range of disciplines, reflecting the rich variety of academic pursuits and creative endeavors that thrive within our faculty.

Publishing one's work is an opportunity that not every undergraduate student has the chance to experience. At ASFA, we are fortunate to have the resources and support necessary to run this journal, providing a platform for students whose exceptional work deserves to be shared with the world.

This edition of the journal presented unique challenges. Unlike some previous editions, we chose not to limit submissions to a specific theme. Instead, we embraced the diversity of ideas and disciplines across our faculty, allowing the creativity and academic rigor of our students to shine through. Additionally, the student strikes that occurred during the academic year introduced further difficulties, slowing down our progress and limiting the time and resources available for this project. Despite these obstacles, our team worked tirelessly to accept, edit, review, and publish all submissions within a very tight timeframe.

We are excited to present you with 18 articles in this edition, each one a reflection of the dedication and hard work of our authors. We hope that this journal inspires other students to continue creating, writing, researching, and publishing within the Faculty of Arts and Science and Concordia as a whole. 

As the Editor-in-Chief of Between Arts and Science, and on behalf of all of the editorial team, I am immensely proud to introduce Volume 6 of ASFA’s Academic journal. This edition is a true reflection of the resilience, creativity, and dedication of our student body, and I am honored to have played a part in bringing their work to the forefront.
