Volume 2 (2022 – 2023)
This second volume of The Capsule is entitled “Connecting Through Common Experience” and highlights CAP student scholars’ work in the humanities and social sciences that range across the breadth of the program’s five streams. On a variety of scales, from the global to the local, humanitarian crises to everyday forms of social exclusion, more innovative genres to the modes of representation that structure our lives, CAP students this year brought theoretically informed and critically persuasive perspectives to topics on the linked themes of “community, communication, and connection.”

Volume 1 (2021 – 2022)
This inaugural volume of The Capsule features a set of essays that explore some of the most pressing societal issues of our day. From striking discussions on the misuse of power by the state, to examinations of how we overcome (generational) trauma in fictitious worlds and the real one, to thoughtful meditations on how our conflicting identities can affect our personhood, this volumes serves as a celebration of the exciting scholarship the CAP community developed over the 2021 – 2022 academic year.
