The Thetean is a scholarly student journal representing historical essays written by students at Brigham Young University. Manuscripts dealing with any historical topic are considered and evaluated according to originality of the thesis, standards of scholarly historical method, and writing style.
Are you looking for a history elective for next semester, Winter 2010? Do you need another class to fill a major/minor requirement? Would you like to gain valuable editing experience to improve your writing skills and add to your resume? Are you looking for a change from the standard lecture-based courses?
Consider joining the staff of The Thetean, the History Department's scholarly student-produced journal. The staff, composed of eight to ten students, will select and prepare student papers for publication in the journal, to be printed in Spring 2010. All history students who would like editing experience, who would like to gain practical experience to prepare for graduate school and added perspective on improving their own papers, who would like to learn about the dynamics of publishing a journal, or who would like a fun class that is different from traditional lecture-based courses, are invited to apply.
The class offers members of the staff four credit hours for winter semester. In the place of time spent in class, the staff will meet for approximately an hour each week. The production process should be completed by early April.
Applications to join The Thetean staff are due Friday, November 13 by 5:00 pm. Visit the History Department office in 2130 JFSB to pick up an application, or print one here. Please leave your completed application in box for The Thetean in the department office.
If you have further questions about The Thetean, please contact me, and feel free to apply! It will be a great experience and I am excited to get to work with the new staff in the coming semester.
Sincerely,
Peter Wright, Editor-in-Chief, yugoslavp@gmail.com
P. S. If you are an editing minor, you can receive credit towards your minor by being on the staff. E-mail me for details. Also, being on the editorial staff will not preclude you from submitting your own papers as entries.
The editorial staff will commence in January on Volume 39 and The Thetean will be published in the Spring of 2010.
