Final Version: 3–4-page double-spaced paper (with MLA documentation) that provides deeper insights into the journal as it analyzes the audience, goals, history, and editorial vision of the journal.  This version will actively use ICE Blocks while using examples from specific articles in making claims about the expectations for articles in the journal and the contributions of the journal to society and the world.
