Welcome to Ibid. A Student History Journal, published by the Eta Nu Chapter of Phi Alpha Theta History Honor Society at TWU.

Celebrating 17 years of publishing the best in graduate and undergraduate scholarship, Ibid.’s current volume continues the journal’s strong tradition of faculty and student collaboration.

In 2022, the national office of Phi Alpha Theta awarded this journal a prestigious Gerald Nash Journal Prize, marking the ninth time Ibid. has received this honor. This national award recognized TWU students for their superlative efforts in creating a professional journal. In 2019, the national office of Phi Alpha Theta named the Eta Nu Chapter a “Best Chapter” for the seventh year in a row.

Thanks to a generous private endowment, Ibid. was able to award two prizes for the “Best Papers” appearing in this volume. Named after TWU Professor Emeritus Valentine J. Belfiglio, these prizes, awarded to Damon Parker and Meghan Pearce, reward excellent scholarship and writing.

In addition to featuring our Belfiglio Prize winners’ essays, the current volume includes featured forum departments examining Efforts is Social Justice and Western History. Celebrating more than sixteen years of publishing the best in student research and writing, the editors of Ibid.: A Student History Journal proudly invite you to enjoy our 17th volume.
