The spirit of our department is multidisciplinary, which is exactly the essence of Vagabond Multilingual Journal. Whether a student is exploring the translation of a queer Cambodian novel into English, or expressing their cultural Chicano heritage through poetry, or engaging with film criticism to explore the representations of African American societies, these interdisciplinary but committed forms of writing are what Vagabond wants to highlight. It is for this reason that the Comparative Literature Undergraduate Journal is proud to announce the return of Vagabond Multilingual Magazine, UC Berkeley's ONLY multilingual magazine (last published in 2014).
We are dedicated to fostering diversity and unity through this magazine by giving a platform to students for them to share their voices and to embrace their cultural and linguistic legacies. Vagabond will publish multilingual/multicultural creative, academic, and critical projects including but not limited to:
- Translation
- Poetry
- Art criticism
- Prose
- Visual Art
For more information and full submission guidelines, please visit our Vagabond submissions page. To see older submissions from the original magazine, please visit Vagabond's original website.
Submissions for the Spring 2022 issue will be accepted until February 21st 11:59 p.m., Pacific Time.
