The Franciscan
The Franciscan history journal is published and edited by students at Concordia University Irvine, and advised by Professor Rebecca Lott. The Franciscan is an opportunity for students and alumni of Concordia University Irvine to publish their historical research and share their analysis and conclusions with larger scholarship.
First published in 2020, The Franciscan is named after Dr. Adam Francisco, a faculty member and alumni of Concordia University Irvine’s History and Political Thought Department. Dr. Francisco’s dedication to students and academia was demonstrated by his service as department chair from 2015-2019.
