Expositions is a journal where scholars from multiple disciplines gather as colleagues to converse about common texts and questions in the humanities. Instigating these conversations is the work of the Villanova Center for Liberal Education, which publishes the journal to serve its own thinking and that of comparable institutions across the globe. Acting on the Augustinian principle that nothing human is foreign to the sympathetic heart, we seek articles, interdisciplinary exchanges, and briefer “notes, insights, and flashes” that benefit teaching, research, and the life of the academy.
The journal is published twice a year, in the spring and fall.
a. Spring (themed) issues
Each spring issue is devoted to a specific theme that benefits from investigations across disciplines in the humanities. See below for Announcements regarding the themes of upcoming issues.
b. Fall (open) issues
Essays included in the fall issues are on a wide range of topics. We are interested in work that demonstrates how a specific academic discipline can speak to the living concerns of a wider audience of teachers and scholars. We are especially interested in addressing such concerns through interdisciplinary exchanges in which two or more scholars respond to a common question. Much of the scholarship that we publish consists of careful interpretation of significant texts in the Western tradition, but we welcome the opportunity to place this work in conversation with studies of non-Western texts, of art, and of modern society, as well as with original works of poetry.

"Notes, Insights, and Flashes"
In addition to full-length articles, Expositions seeks brief essays of general interest to the humanities. These include “notes” that reflect upon or challenge existing scholarship; “insights” that provide intriguing new paths of interpretation and close analysis of a text; and “flashes” that are just too exuberant, provocative, or risky to fit in an ordinary article. Perhaps hard to classify within conventional categories, these “Notes, Insights, and Flashes” should make us stop and think, entice us to re-read passages we thought we knew, spark conversations, or otherwise enrich our lives as interdisciplinary teachers and scholars.
Word-length will typically be 1,000 to 3,000.
Published twice a year: March and September
