Classics graduate students first published an academic journal in 1989 entitled CERES: Graduate Academic Journal, based on papers from their second annual Graduate Students' Classical Conference held at 黄色视频 in May 1989; Volume II was published in May 1990. After a quarter-century hiatus, CERES returned with a new volume, published on 06 November 2017; the first volume of the "revival" featured articles by both Graduate and Undergraduate Queen鈥檚 students from Classical Studies, Archaeology, Philosophy, Art History and other departments.
In 2023, a dedicated editorial team resurrected the journal once more, this time, permanently. Rather than limiting the publication to a specific theme, they wanted to emphasize the importance of different perspectives by accepting submissions from researchers at other Canadian universities. You will also note that this edition of CERES includes articles from graduate students enrolled in three different disciplines: Classics, History, and Religious Studies.
