In addition, numerous student-run literary journals and text-in-performance groups exist on campus—some more ephemeral in nature, and others long-running. Some examples of opportunities for student editing and publication include:

Inclusive of all majors, not just Written Arts! In this club, members can submit their written creations (be it prose, poetry, or other works of written word) for the reading and group critique of the other members. The best way to take a written work to the next level is to put it out for peers to read it. This club is here to provide that opportunity to anyone who wants it. Constructive criticism only!

A space for black students working across mediums to engage with each other’s work where it may not be understood in the traditional spaces as well as maintaining an open dialogue about the ethics of each medium and issues of representation.
Fantastic TalesClub Head: Christopher Benincase (

A bimonthly publication for science fiction and fantasy short stories by Bard students, for Bard students. There is high interest within the student body for an outlet like this, yet it does not exist. Hence, my decision to start this club.

Instagram Project for Policy InnovationClub Head: Eli Shapiro (
[email protected])
Want to boost your resume and do something cool? Project for Policy Innovation is a student-run think tank that will produce economic, political, and foreign policy proposals and Op-Eds. It will provide students with opportunities to learn how to research and write professionally about these topics, improve their design skills, and learn how to organize labor. We are looking for a treasurer, secretary, writers/editors, digital designers, and a film specialist. Students majoring in political science, human rights, religious studies, EUS, economics, GIS, gender & sexuality studies, studio arts, and film are highly encouraged to apply. Depending on the role, members will be asked to submit an Op-Ed about any relevant topic every other week and work together in groups to write a policy brief due at the end of the semester. Other members will be tasked with interviewing scholars and professionals. Members are also encouraged to submit their papers that they've written in class to publish.
Race MonologuesClub Head: Skye Carter (
[email protected])
The Race Monologues will serve as a platform for expression for students on and off Bard's campus. As a WOC and POC on this campus, there is not a day that my race/identity/ethnicity does not present itself whether implicit or within interactions. In the past, the Race Monologues have been a space of inclusivity for Bard students to engage how they confront race or conversely, how race confronts them (or does not). At this predominantly white institution or PWI, it seems many forget that there are those that do not always have that.
Sonnet — A Literary MagazineSonnet Literary Magazine is an annual, student-run literary publication which aims to create a platform for both written and visual artists by and for Bard students. We seek to publish creative fiction, poetry, works of translation, and art. Our hope is to compose a final creative project that represents the many literary and artistic talents at Bard College.
