Welcome to the official website of the Arts & Science journal: ALETHEIA! Founded in September 2020, this is a student-run peer-reviewed publication that features the innovative and interdisciplinary work of students from McMaster’s Arts & Science program. We release two editions per year, each revolving around a central theme and compiling research-based papers written during the previous semester.
