Journals

The SlackWater Center publishes an occasional journal, SlackWater, highlighting topics and places of regional importance to the broader community. Contributors to the journal include students, faculty, and community members. To date, six issues of the journal have been produced. Back issues of SlackWater are available for purchase at the St. Mary's College of Maryland Bookstore

While the best way to enjoy the journals is through the print issue, the links, below, will take you to a table of contents for each volume along with selected essays and images.
