Abstract

My creative project will consist of a peer-reviewed academic journal which publishes papers in philosophy, as well as a personal journal in which I record my thoughts on the project as it progresses during the year and a compilation of helpful materials for future editors-in-chief, as I intend for this publication to become an annual project in the Philosophy Department. The objective of the journal is to encourage philosophical discussion and provide an opportunity for students to have their scholarly achievement recognized by being published in an academic journal. The target audience consists of current philosophy majors, incoming freshmen interested in studying philosophy and knowing what kind of work current students are doing, and graduate programs who will be interested in knowing that applicants have had work published in an academic journal at their undergraduate university. I believe that this thesis project has provided a valuable learning experience for all students involved. I have learned a great deal about philosophy, writing, and the editing process, but, more importantly, I have grown in terms of my leadership skills and ability to work efficiently within a group setting.
