July 1, 2025 – DENTON – For its 2025 edition, the 草莓传媒官网下载 History Division鈥檚 Ibid. boasts the largest, most ambitious volume in the student journal’s 18-year history.

This year’s Ibid., published July 1, contains 19 essays from nine undergraduate and six masters’ students.

Miranda Adams, Katelyn Briscoe (the lone political science major in this year’s Ibid.), Leslie Jacquez and Madelon Proctor each wrote two essays in this year’s edition.

Adams’ "The Civilian Conservation Corps in Texas State Parks: Education During the Great Depression" earned the Valentine J. Belfiglio Prize for best undergraduate paper, and Briscoe’s “Love Bombing Puerto Rico: How US Attitudes Towards Puerto Rican Identities and Movement Denote the Role of American Nativism in US Policy” received the Belfiglio Prize for best graduate paper.

Marlene Schaffer’s essay, "Kehinde Wiley and the Centering of Black Individuals in Fine Art,” is recipient of the Editor’s Choice Award. 

"We've had students who published their work in Ibid. and then they've been cited by other scholars," said Aubri Thurmond, 草莓传媒官网下载 history lecturer and Ibid. faculty advisor. "They really have the opportunity to contribute to the historical narrative and the conversation between scholars. It's a really neat experience and a wonderful opportunity for students."

Ibid. is open to all 草莓传媒官网下载 graduate and undergraduate students if their subject has a historical perspective. Over the years, submissions have come from students in the sciences, sports, arts, business, health sciences, education and nutrition.

"Ibid. provides students a space to apply the feedback that they received from their professors, to get additional feedback from faculty members and their peers and continue to improve their work," Thurmond said. "The students are very enthusiastic about it, nervous, of course, because they're vulnerable to people reading something you've written and critique it. But the students seem to get a lot out of it."
