The team behind the People, Ideas, and Things (PIT) Journal is hosting the newly revived Spring 2022 Undergraduate Research Conference on March 24th from 10 AM – 4 PM.
This year’s conference is showcasing the work of ENGL 105 students enrolled in the PIT Journal’s research-focused curriculum under the guidance of Department of English and Comparative Literature Teaching Fellows Matt Duncan, Jo Klevdal, Lindsay Ragle-Miller, and Erica Sabelawski.
The People, Ideas, and Things (PIT) Journal helps students learn about, create, and publish undergraduate research. The PIT Journal seeks to provide an opportunity for undergraduates to explore and engage in scholarly discourse, share their original research, and gain valuable experience collaborating in peer review.
