Dichotomy 24: Out of Service

Some may say we were “out of service,” however, us at the Dichotomy Student Journal have been hard at work. Over the past two years, our students have been curating this special edition issue – sustaining the past 40 years of the Dichotomy journal tradition, celebrating this milestone anniversary, and planning for the future as we enter our next decade.

Traditionally, it is said that the 40th anniversary symbolizes an eternal inner flame. Issue 24, Out of Service, offers a glimpse into our fervor through the past, present, and future. In our time “out of service,” we have handcrafted a unique selection of articles spanning twenty different issues and dating as far back as 1979. So please join us as we flip back through the pages and journey through our ruby years.
