Our Mission
Future Tense publishes research-based projects developed in Berea College's GSTR 410 courses, including a variety of disciplinary, intellectual, and creative approaches. Future Tense uses the digital humanities eJounral format to combine image, text, sound, and a variety of presentation platforms in the process of showcasing senior research projects at Berea College.
Editors' Statement
This inaugural issue of Future Tense, a GSTR 410 undergraduate peer-reviewed research eJournal, marks an important moment in developing the identity of research projects created by students across disciplines through the GSTR 410 senior seminar. Scott Steele and I have worked hard over the past year along with several other faculty members, including Marty Kazura, Steve Gowler, and Billy Wooten, to draw together excellent work from across the campus, and to bridge sections of GSTR 410 across semesters and year. Our many thanks goes out to each of these individuals for their generous time and feedback. Our mission as the project co-directors is to gather undergraduate GSTR 410 research in order to foster cross-disciplinary engagement with texts, images, and events, and consequently, to develop a sustained and intellectually challenging conversation at the undergraduate level about the meaning, value, and function of our culture in all of its manifestations.
