-Digital Defense 2020-

Stirring chose our annual themed issue to celebrate the work of 2020 graduates. When graduate students, and some undergraduate students, come to the conclusion of their degree pursuits, they are often asked to defend their understanding of the field and showcase their work. This comes in many forms, depending on the focus of the degree, and can be performed through a book-length dissertation, an exhibition of their creative work, an oral presentation, or even a reading of creative work.

Usually this is a time of celebrating their achievements with friends, family, peers, and mentors, but the class of 2020 has been faced with a particular challenge in the current climate of social distancing. This issue celebrates the graduates of 2020 by featuring their creative works. Congratulations to all of you.
