NEXUS: The Liberty Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies
Committed to innovation, collaboration, and the pursuit of knowledge
Rooted in the values of Liberty University as a Christian institution, NEXUS serves as a bridge connecting the spheres of the humanities, sciences, and creative arts. Within NEXUS, you will find a rich tapestry of research papers, essays, artwork, and creative expressions that epitomize the synergy between disciplines.
The word “nexus” captures the essence of the journal, translating from Latin as “a connection” or “a link”, reflecting our mission to establish meaningful connections between various fields of study.
