The word "stoa" commonly refers to a sheltered, columned promenade reserved for the exchanging of ideas and goods. Most common in ancient Greece, stoas once lined the marketplaces and sanctuaries of major cities, attracting popular lecturers and artists from throughout the region. It was in these types of structures that such prominent philosophers as Zeno shared their wisdom. Using paper as its p
romenade, it aims to bring together student writers who hail from a wide range of academic disciplines, and in doing so fosters open intellectual discussion among those who might otherwise have limited access to the ideas presented. It gives each student a chance to explore and promote his or her most zealous academic pursuits, regardless of topic or field. The Stoa is, above all, an academic journal that specializes in the publication of exemplary student work. We encourage students to share with us their most ambitious research papers so that we can provide them the honor and recognition they deserve.
