Lucerna

Lucerna is the UMKC interdisciplinary research journal produced by the Honors Program. Introduced in 2006, the journal has published the scholarship of 152 undergraduates and accepts papers that students in all UMKC programs have written for their classes.

In Fall 2022, we will begin accepting submissions for Volume 18, to be published in March 2024. Please see our Submission Guidelines for more information. If you have questions, contact Editor-in-Chief Anuhya Dayal at adzxn@umsystem.edu

Each submission to Lucerna is evaluated in an anonymous review process by the student staff.  Papers are judged for clarity, originality, organization, and argumentative qualities.

Join us March 23 at 5pm in Pierson Auditorium for our annual Lucerna Symposium – our first in-person symposium since 2019! 6 of our Volume 17 contributors will be presenting their research, followed by a Q&A session. Refreshments will be provided. Click here to RSVP.
