Lycoming College unveiled the inaugural volume of the Mid-Atlantic Humanities Review: A Journal of Undergraduate Research (MHR), featuring twelve essays from undergraduate students from the mid-Atlantic region, including three from Lycoming College students. Published under the auspices of the College’s Humanities Research Center (HRC), MHR celebrates excellence in undergraduate research in humanities and related disciplines. The essays included in this first annual issue engage a wide range of intellectual inquiry from classical art history to indigenous rights, from Shakespeare to theories of consciousness, from feminist theology to Haitian political history, and much more. Together, the work speaks to the complex, beautiful, and often troubling cultural history of humanity, and it reminds readers of the vibrant work being done in college classrooms to understand our past, ourselves, and our world. “Launching a journal for undergraduate humanities LYCOMING COLLEGE INTRODUCES MID-ATLANTIC HUMANITIES REVIEW research was a priority for the Humanities Research Center at Lycoming because there are not many opportunities for undergraduate students in the humanities to share their work with broader audiences in a professional venue,” said Andrew Leiter, Ph.D., professor of English and director of the HRC. “The Mid-Atlantic Humanities Review provides an opportunity for undergraduates doing advanced work in humanities and humanitiesrelated fields to showcase their research, engage the world of academic publishing, and develop professional skills in preparation for their careers or graduate study.” “I enjoyed learning about unique research that extended outside of my own work and knowledge,” said Sarah Lanphear ’25, a creative writing and biology double major whose work on Shakespeare was published in MHR. “I am excited to be a part of this inaugural issue and hope readers appreciate the work we compiled from a plethora of outstanding submissions.” A JOURNAL OF UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH Scan the QR code to view a digital format of the MHR. 50 ISER ears Lycoming plans to honor Steve Wiser during the opening home football game this fall by naming the football locker room the Coach Steve Wiser ’74 Football Locker Room.
