Student Interns, The Middle Ground Journal Book Review Working Group
A Book Review Working Group selection — a student intern from this working group recommended this book by writing, “…. This book sounds fascinating in a “CSI: HISTORY EDITION” sort of way. I love how it combines the fields of science/medicine/forensics with a rich historical/cultural context, which is emblematic of the strengths of St. Scholastica. Plus, I’m biased towards the fact that it examines the case of Anastasia and the Romanov grave ….”
A new Middle Ground Journal student internship program — The Book Review Working Group, consisting of ten undergraduate and graduate student interns. The Middle Ground is integrating student interns into all phases of the book review process, beginning with researching and recommending books to acquire. Student interns study The Middle Ground’s published reviews, investigate comparable journals and publications, and present annotated book lists to explain and justify their recommendations. These lists are then discussed and debated by the student interns. The chief editor makes the final decision. Over the summer, these students are assigned to different publishers to study their history and publishing focus, to study different genres of reviews (NY Review of Books, TLS, London Review of Books, New Yorker, NYT, Washington Post, various online journals and reviews) — as we research, questions, discuss, and debate, we will also formulate new questions for future reviewers to address. Please email all inquiries to the journal’s chief editor Professor Hong-Ming Liang at HLIANG@CSS.EDU
