The Berkeley Undergraduate Journal
Welcome to The Berkeley Undergraduate Journal. Established in 1987, the Berkeley Undergraduate Journal is a publication of exceptional undergraduate academic papers from the social sciences and humanities at UC Berkeley. Run by and for students, we operate from the Office of Undergraduate Research.
The Journal offers undergraduates the chance to express their ideas to a broader, university-wide, audience. By publishing scholarly work from a variety of disciplines and by collaborating with university faculty, administration, and student authors, the Journal integrates into discussion the diverse discourses of our university's intellectual community. In doing so, we seek to demonstrate the strength of undergraduate scholarship at Berkeley. The Journal serves undergraduates in yet another dimension by enabling student editors to hone their skills by reviewing, editing, and publishing articles under their own direction.
As of Fall 2008 published articles will be placed on major scholarly databases such as Google Scholar.

"When
we honor the University of California, we celebrate
with good reason its academic renown, its impressive
list of Nobel Laureates, its contributions to the
sciences and the humanities.... Whatever the high
rankings of Berkeley's graduate schools, the undergraduates
remain the principal strength of the University; the
curiosity they bring to the classroom and the culture
of discourse in which they participate is its life
blood. In that spirit, I welcome Berkeley Undergraduate
Journal, as a means of preserving and extending the
commitment of Berkeley students to intellectual inquiry,
to asking the most uncomfortable questions, to insulting
proprieties, to questioning and shaking beliefs, institutions
and systems of long standing, and, if necessary, to
disturbing the peace. Of the many traditions of this
campus, these are the most precious, and I expect
this journal to advance and nourish them."
--Professor
Leon F. Litwack, Morrison Professor of History
