SYNTHESIS

Synthesis Header

In the spring of 2009, undergraduates in the History and Science concentration launched a new journal called SYNTHESIS dedicated to publishing undergraduate scholarship -- worldwide -- in history of science and its allied disciplines.  

SYNTHESIS is now the History of Science department's online undergraduate journal, and it remains the only such journal out there. Our editorial staff consists of over 15 History and Science undergraduate concentrators and we are entirely student-led, under the supervision of the Director of Undergraduate Studies, Prof. Rebecca Lemov. We have created a website, comprised of student papers, interviews with faculty, reviews of the latest hot topics in the history of science, and much more.

We are accepting submissions on a rolling basis and would love to hear from students in all disciplines who have written essays with relevance to understanding the history of science, medicine, or technology in society. To submit a research paper or project for the Spring 2023 issue please fill out our submission form.

If you have any questions or comments, or would like to get involved, please email the editors at hsharvardsynthesis@gmail.com.
