Literature As A Pathway To Steam Careers, Michelle Mohrweis Dec 2020

Literature As A Pathway To Steam Careers, Michelle Mohrweis

The STEAM Journal

In this piece, I discuss the way STEAM focused literature can help guide students into the world of STEAM. Through books, kids can see themselves doing STEAM focused careers, helping to make it more accessible even to groups still underrepresented in many technical fields. STEAM in children’s literature can also help students navigate important skills, such as the design process and learning how to have a growth mindset.

Diamond Line Undergraduate Literary Magazine

In following up the premier issue of The Diamond Line, the fall 2020 editorial staff had big shoes to fill. We took on the challenge of creating something that would uphold the framework of Issue 1 while simultaneously branching out from its margins.

Like the editors before us, we had a vision, but ours took a new form — bright, warm colors. Sunset colors. Moons. Playful lines. Isolation and introspection. A stroll through an art gallery. A coming-of-age story bound between two groovy orange bookends. While Issue 2 does not have an overarching theme, we chose the cover art, “Pandemic …

Children Of The Corn, Quetzali Lopez Nov 2020

Children Of The Corn, Quetzali Lopez

First-Gen Voices: Creative and Critical Narratives on the First-Generation College Experience

“Child of the Corn” was a short script inspired by my family’s taqueria in Chicago. The story is intended to be a light comedy, but still addresses the issues of gentrification happening in cultural communities. Xiomara and her little brother, Abel, are working at their family’s restaurant when they discover a new yuppie taco joint has opened up across the street. While Abel is excited to scope out the competition, Xiomara is concerned about how can affect her family’s work.

Peau De Lune (Encore Une Fable De Lézards Et Salamandres), Sílvia Aymerich, Hélène Beaulieu

The Goose

Il dormait dans les creux entre les roches, prenait le soleil sur les dalles, se cachait derrière les pierres et avait ainsi appris par cœur toute la gamme des gris et des bruns. La plupart des animaux de la montagne près de Barcelone s’étaient contentés d’une seule couleur. Lui, par contre, en faisant un effort gigantesque, arrivait à presser fortement ses rugosités pour obtenir une peau plus foncée en plein soleil. À relaxer de nouveau et récupérer un ton plus sablonneux au crépuscule. Et il en était fier.

Zamzaroo, Zarang, And The Rabbit Men, Adan Mulvaney Sep 2020

Zamzaroo, Zarang, And The Rabbit Men, Adan Mulvaney

Conspectus Borealis

This short fiction story is the tale of a grandfather, his rabbit, and his adopted granddaughter. This story was originally inspired when I heard the story of a suicidal rabbit. The rabbit never ran away from loud or scary noises. By ignoring his innate survival instincts, he was essentially inviting death. I found it intriguing how stagnancy can be a form of death. Though the story itself is fiction, some of the events that happened to the characters actually happened to people surrounding me. It is my hope that after reading this story, the reader can appreciate how peculiar and …

How To Measure A Coastline, Nora E. Culik Jul 2020

How To Measure A Coastline, Nora E. Culik

Journal of Humanistic Mathematics

The infinite shoreline of Lake Superior is embedded in the mathematical imagination, the memory of its stony beaches, and in the unifying consciousness that holds them all, just as the lake itself lies cradled in the land. The narrator of these paradoxes finds the lake, its border, and the calculi strewn along its shore a place a space between worlds where we rediscover that we can’t measure what we can’t locate, and can’t locate what we can’t measure, even the versions of ourselves.
