Inventio: from invenire, to find, to discover
Inventio is the multidisciplinary undergraduate research journal of The Catholic University of America. It aims to identify and disseminate original undergraduate research that best represents the university’s commitment to the academic and Catholic traditions that inform its mission to “discover and impart the truth.” The journal accepts submissions of research in the humanities, theology, philosophy, the arts, and the social sciences written by current students or within two years of their graduation. Inventio is supported by Undergraduate Studies, the University Honors Program, the English Department, and the University Writing Center.
Submissions to Inventio undergo double blind review by the Faculty Advisory Board (For more information see Supporting Faculty) and essays approved for publication undergo a second double blind review process overseen by the Student Editorial Board, which ultimately makes the selections for and produces each issue.
Inventio also includes a special section: “The Best of the FYE,” which features those essays that receive the Phi Beta Kappa First Year Experience Essay Award. The essays that receive this award represent the best essays written by an FYE student in PHIL 201 or 202, TRS 201, and ENG 101. Selections are made by the faculty director of the FYE and the Phi Beta Kappa Prize Committee.
Editors' Welcome
Editors' Welcome
Welcome to Inventio, the multidisciplinary undergraduate research journal of The Catholic University of America. Serving students at a national research institution, we are committed to fostering the opportunity for undergraduate students to publish their academic discoveries. Since its founding eight years ago, Inventio has brought together an impressive group of scholars from a wide variety of backgrounds and disciplines. Inventio identifies and disseminates the highest quality of research that takes place at the undergraduate level at The Catholic University of America.
Informed by the tradition of The Catholic University of America, Inventio aids the University’s commitment to discovering truth by publishing outstanding student work. The vast array of degree programs at Catholic University allows researchers to adopt a spirit of ingenuity and creativity to understand the most profound principles of reality. Embarking from the starting point of wonder, Inventio receives undergraduate research that is fueled by desire and submersed in the richness of particular subject areas. Inventio’s commitment to pursuing the truth is not solely about ideas; to a large extent, it is about persons.
