Stonehouse

Stonehouse Academic Journal is a student-run, academic publication with an emphasis on liberal arts and sciences. Sponsored by Sigma Tau Delta’s XI Delta Chapter, this journal encourages innovation, creativity, and critical thinking in the original work of Northern Illinois University students. Stonehouse promotes the writing, rhetoric, and research of NIU’s undergraduate and graduate students as they engage in an academic conversation. Each student-selected essay published through this academic journal stands as a stone in a wall of our stone house.
