Lingua Franca
www.linguafranca.comThe New York Times calls Lingua Franca “the Nation’s hottest and hippest academic publication,” and justifiably so. Lingua Franca is proof that journalism about scholars and their work doesn’t have to be dry, but can be as entertaining and relevant as music or sports coverage. Reporting on topics such as the function of language or the role of pop music, Lingua Franca proves there’s no shortage of interesting ideas hiding behind ivy-covered walls.US $29.95/yr. (9 issues)
