IDIOM: English Undergraduate Academic Journal was founded in 2006 as the University of Toronto’s only journal of literary criticism written by undergraduate students. The purpose of IDIOM is twofold: 1) to recognize and showcase the scholarly achievements of the University of Toronto’s undergraduate literature students; and, 2) to provide the English undergraduate community with exemplars of high-quality academic work and writing. The focus of IDIOM is scholarship on the texts and contexts of literature and literary studies.
We welcome essay submissions from any undergraduate student currently enrolled at the University of Toronto. Please see the “Submit” page for details.
IDIOM is the official undergraduate academic journal for the Department of English and is published under the jurisdiction of the English Students’ Union.
