Editorial Focus

Based out of the English department at Washington University in St. Louis, The Spectacle is committed to publishing work from underrepresented voices, including BIPOC, women, people from LGBTQIA+ communities, and people who have disabilities.

Tips From the Editor

We aim for content that reminds us that our lenses matter—they focus, distort, clarify, conceal. We are committed to publishing work from underrepresented voices, including people of color, women, people from LGBTQIA+ communities, and people who have disabilities. We value and emphasize relationships between the literary and visual arts, pairing the majority of the pieces we publish with original work from a variety of contributing visual artists.
