The Foundationalist

STATUS UPDATE: 07 MAY, 2026

We are proud to announce that Foundationalist Volume X has now been released. This issue features the work of talented undergraduates from both our Spring and Fall 2025 application cycles. You can view our new publications via ISSUES > VOLUME X in the header bar above.

Our Fall application cycle will begin later this year, in October. We eagerly await your submissions at that time. Until then, please find us at thefoundationalist@gmail.com if you have any questions, concerns, or other inquiries.

The Foundationalist is the collaborative effort of undergraduate editorial boards at Bowdoin College, St. Mary’s College of California, and University of Iowa. Our journal serves as a platform for outstanding undergraduate works of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and essays.
