Hello, and welcome to Animus, the undergraduate Classical journal from the University of Chicago. We are a team of current UChicago undergraduate students, and we’re thrilled to begin this journey with you! We hope to begin publishing blog articles over the coming weeks as we also disseminate information about submitting to our first edition of the journal.

Our mission statement is as follows:

Animus, the undergraduate Classical journal of the University of Chicago, publishes outstanding original work in the Classics and related fields. Supporting study of the Classical world through multiple platforms—our journal and our online blog—we seek to present wide-ranging undergraduate scholarship to a broad audience. Publishing not only academic papers, but also translations, creative works and visual art, we endeavor to create a dialogue between traditional and reception-based approaches to scholarship on ancient cultures and the Classical world. We hope to provide fellow undergraduate Classicists with the opportunity to have their works reviewed by peers in their field, both to their benefit and to the wider improvement of Classical scholarship.

Soon, you’ll be able to browse our website for complete submission guidelines, contact information, and blog posts. Until then, be sure to follow our Twitter and Facebook page to make sure you are notified about any updates to the website and journal.

We’re so happy you’re here.

Cura ut valeas.
