Vol. 4 No. 1 (2026): The Motley Undergraduate Journal
The Motley Undergraduate Journal proudly presents its Spring 2026 issue: a vibrant collection of creative scholarship, critical inquiry, and diverse voices from across Canada. As an interdisciplinary publication rooted in the Department of Communication, Media, and Film, Motley continues its commitment to showcasing the power of words, images, and ideas to question, challenge, and connect.
This issue explores the many ways communication shapes our shared world, from the ways in which media represents systems of inequality and oppression to how media users fight against such systems. Each piece invites readers to consider how storytelling, research, and creative expression intertwine to illuminate both personal and collective experience. Our contributors approach their subjects with curiosity and courage. Together, they remind us that scholarship is not confined to one form or voice, but thrives through multiplicity and collaboration.
