“…Additionally, student journals may play an important role in professionalization during graduate school (Arsenault et al, 2021). Campos et al (2022) suggested that, beyond improving communication and writing skills, participating in a peer-review process has the potential to enhance involvement in the curriculum and increase aspirations for higher academic positions (especially editorial board positions).…”

This special issue of The University of Western Ontario Journal of Anthropology (UWOJA) serves to relaunch the journal after a prolonged hiatus. UWOJA (formerly TOTEM) published its first volume in 1994 and in its life, has endeavored to publish exceptional pieces of creative and original research by undergraduate and graduate students in all four subfields of anthropology. Despite UWOJA’s interruption in publication (2016-2023), the journal has had a considerable impact, especially for a student-led journal, receiving nearly 600 citations across 151 articles and becoming one of the most-consulted resources on Scholarship@Western. As of January 2023, articles from UWOJA have received over 35 thousand downloads. In addition to its contributions to anthropological knowledge, UWOJA has provided opportunities for many undergraduate and graduate students to participate in the peer-review and journal publication processes. In this issue, UWOJA’s new Editorial Committee intends to highlight the collective effort of previous authors, reviewers, editors, and organizational committees by republishing a selection of the most highly cited, or currently relevant, articles from the journal’s nearly 30-year history and discussing the impact these opportunities have had on the authors’ careers. Just as Frankenstein’s creature was brought to life using a collection of repurposed parts, this issue reanimates UWOJA by compiling highlights from its past.
