Rushton Journal of Undergraduate Humanities Research
Volume 2 (2024)
Letter from the Editors
The editors of Volume 2 of the Rushton Journal of Undergraduate Humanities Research are proud to bring you eight essays from the minds, hearts, and souls of Wayne State University students. During ENGL 5695 in the fall of 2024, WSU student editors considered, selected, and prepared for publication the essays presented in this volume, a collection of writing we hope you find both insightful and illuminating. The essays presented in Volume 2 fit loosely within three general themes: the visual, the literary, and the city.
