Vol. 12 No. 1 (2023): The ANU Undergraduate Research Journal, Volume 12, 2023
The ANU Undergraduate Research Journal presents outstanding essays taken from numerous ANU undergraduate essay submissions. The breadth and depth of the articles chosen for publication demonstrates the quality and research potential of the undergraduate talent being nurtured at ANU across a diverse range of fields.
While ANU is widely appreciated for its scholarly production at the professional and postgraduate levels, less is known about the extent and the quality of research conducted by the university's undergraduate students. As we believe that this substantial share of the ANU community deserves attention, and that originality, commitment and entrepreneurship are qualities to be found across the whole academic body, we seek here to showcase a snippet of the past year's undergraduate work.
