TROPOS was first published in 1971 and is one of the longest graduate student-edited journals in Romance Studies in North America. Since its inception, Tropos Journal has been run exclusively by graduate students of Michigan State University’s Department of Romance and Classical Studies, and its continuity depends upon the tenacity of the editorial team, advisors, and the rest of the student body.
As part of our efforts to provide graduate students from across the field with the opportunity to gain valuable experience in scholarly dialogue and publication, TROPOS publishes a journal on a regular basis. From literature and cinema to linguistics and creative writing pieces, we hope our readers are inspired, entertained, and provoked to thought.
