A letter–and an invitation–from the editor
by editor
By mid-2011 it was apparent the interest from students and alumni of liberal studies programs in publishing their papers on this site had dried up. As I was working on my MA thesis project, I didn’t have time to write (again) to all the program directors asking if they’d recommend Coastline to their students. Thus, it is currently an archived site, as is obvious from the date of the last two essays, both written by the editor.
I still think this is a worthwhile endeavour, not for myself, perhaps, but for the GLS community, and I would invite anyone interested in becoming the editor of the site–either as a co-editor with me, or by taking over the site–to contact me directly. I also once again extend the invitation to all GLS students, through their instructors, to look through this site, to use the material as inspiration, or to cite it (see example below), or to contribute their essay(s) to the journal.
Until then, I’m working on my thesis, a series of documentary videos on public art.
