Welcome to Logos, the undergraduate journal for the Department of Ancient Mediterranean and Near Eastern Studies at UBC!
We endeavor to highlight exceptional work that pertains to the ancient world created by undergraduate students. For our seventh issue, we seek to include works in media beyond academic essays- we want to encourage submissions of translations, visual art pieces (including photographs), and creative writing excerpts. A journal composed of reflections on the ancient world that take shape in a range of mediums will provide a vast corpus of UBC’s diverse student voices. These varying forms of expression will offer new perspectives on ancient cultures, and provide refreshing commentaries on past scholarship.

Applications are now open for the 2024/25 Logos journal editorial board and exec team. This is the undergraduate journal for the Department of Ancient Mediterranean and Near Eastern Studies. It is entirely student led, and seeks to amplify student research and creative work that pertains to the ancient world.

You do not have to be an AMNE major or minor to apply to the board — genuine interest and passion in ancient studies and promoting student work in a creative manner is all we require! Please email logos.amne@ubc.ca if you have any questions or comments. Thank you very much for your interest.
The journal accepts submissions on work relating to the ancient world written or the AMNE department, but also from any department outside of AMNE. Papers must pertain to the ancient Mediterranean and ‘Near Eastern’ world, but departments including (but not limited to) like HIST, ANTH, ARTH, PHIL, CRWR, FIST, RELG, ENGL, CRWR, THTR, and more are encouraged to submit pieces.
This year for the first time, Logos seeks to publish a multidisciplinary collection of pieces including visual art, creative writing, translations, compositions, and academic essays. If you have an idea for a submission that doesn’t fall under these categories, please email logos.amne@ubc.ca
- You must be an undergraduate student at UBC to submit to the journal. Submissions from students who attend institutions outside UBC will not be considered, nor will graduate or post-graduate work.
- You may submit up to three pieces in total to the journal, with no more than two pieces in each category. Logos will be starting a blog where we will publish more student work, and we encourage you to submit any rejected pieces to the blog once it’s up and running.
- Your paper must not have been published in another journal for publication.
- All works must be completely anonymized for submission: Please exclude your name, professor’s name, and course code.
- All works in the published journal must conform to Chicago style formatting. If your work does not cite sources in Chicago upon submission, be prepared to edit your citation style to Chicago post-acceptance.
Thank you for your interest! We look forward to reviewing your submission.
