About the Oracle.

"Oracle first started during the Spring semester of 2019 and our first edition was printed that Fall. Under the advisory of the Boston College History Department, Oracle has been built around an editorial team of History majors and minors dedicated to showcasing fellow scholars' work. The articles in each edition of Oracle meet our staff's highest expectations for quality publications that add meaningful conversations to historical research. It is our hope and desire that Oracle thrives under such leadership each year and provides a voice to those interested in the ever-changing subject of history.

This year, our editorial team decided to publish Oracle online and we are happy to announce the final website publication for this semester! After a lot of hard work and dedication from the editors, we want to share all of the amazing scholarly work of our fellow students. We are grateful to Professor Ismay, Professor Oh, and History Librarian Bee Lehman for all of their advice and encouragement in producing our website. We also want to thank Professor Summers for taking the time to do an interview with us and provide meaningful responses to important questions about racial justice on campus. Finally, a huge thanks to our editors and authors for all the work they put into Oracle and we hope you enjoy the website as much as we do!"
