Where to Find Past Volumes of Dialogues@RU

Past volumes of Dialogues@RU are listed on the journal's home page under the "Our Journals" section, organized by academic year and volume number. You can reach them directly at dialogues.rutgers.edu — no separate archive page or search function is needed; the volume list sits on the landing page itself.

How the volumes are organized

Each entry pairs an academic year with a volume number, so you can identify an issue either by the year it covers or by its volume count. The site lists them in reverse chronological order, newest first.

The page also carries cover images and banners for different volumes (for example, a 2016 cover slide and a 2013 cover slide), which serve as visual markers for those issues.

What you'll find in each volume

Dialogues@RU is an annual scholarly journal of undergraduate work produced in the Writing Program course "Research in the Disciplines" (English 201). That course teaches critical reading and thinking, scholarly research, synthesis, and analytic writing across disciplines. Student papers in the journal cover topics across the STEM fields, Economics, Political Science, Sociology, Psychology, Film, and Literature — so a given volume is a mix of disciplines rather than a single subject area.

Steps to browse a past volume

1. Go to dialogues.rutgers.edu.
2. Locate the "Our Journals" section on the page.
3. Pick the academic year or volume number you want.
4. Open that entry to view the issue's contents.

Expected result: you land on the selected volume and can read its student research papers.

Common sticking points

• Looking for a search box. The volumes are presented as a straightforward list, not behind a search or filter tool — scroll to "Our Journals" instead of hunting for a query field.
• Confusing year and volume. A volume spans one academic year (e.g., Volume 20 = 2024–2025), so match on whichever label you have.
• Assuming older issues are gone. The listing includes volumes going back at least to 2021–2022, with cover imagery referencing earlier years such as 2013 and 2016.

If you only need to confirm what the journal is or which program publishes it: it's the undergraduate research journal of the Rutgers Writing Program's English 201 course, published annually.
