Columbia Journal of Literary Criticism
The Columbia Journal of Literary Criticism was founded in 2002-2003 by students majoring in English at Columbia, but it operates independent of the English Department. Its aim is to offer a trans-disciplinary forum favoring critical thinking and uniting students in the Humanities. The Journal is printed once a year and publishes about a dozen rigorous academic papers written by undergraduates, as well as interviews with current intellectuals and book reviews. The CJLC also plans events and seminars on a variety of topics, all tied in some way to critical, literary, or political theory, or simply literature.
