Summer Reading
A list chosen for both the intellect and the imagination—books that argue, provoke, and unsettle alongside books that simply delight.
Continuity of Thought
The Schola is a sustained forum for inquiry grounded in discipline and exchange. Reading original scholarship sharpens the standards a writer brings to their own work; contributing to it deepens how they engage the work of others. The work published here reflects independent analytical judgment—not what students are expected to produce, but what rigorous inquiry, pursued without shortcuts, actually yields.
Form of Thought
The Schola publishes original scholarship in the humanities and social sciences, guided less by disciplinary boundaries than by analytical clarity, conceptual development, and independent thought.
