About Us

Inter-Text was founded to foster community and celebrate scholarship in the humanities and social sciences. The journal uses a blind, peer-review process to evaluate and select the most significant and compelling research and writing from Lake Forest College students.

If you are unable to attend weekly meetings but would like to be involved as an editor, that is still possible. Send an email to inter-text@lakeforest.edu to get involved in the journal.

Submissions for publication open in November and close in early February. Please email us at inter-text@lakeforest.edu to get on our announcement list if you want to make sure you directly receive the call for submissions.

2023-2024 Editorial Board

Inter-Text’s team of intelligent and driven peer-reviewers oversees the publication process from start to finish to make the final version a tangible reality.
