The Anser, Sancta’s Academic Journal

The Anser interdisciplinary journal is a peer-reviewed publication of collected of articles, essays and research by students and alumni of Sancta

The publication title, The Anser, is a playful Latin tribute to Sancta’s cherished mascot, The Goose. The Goose can be noticed in the publication’s Volume 1 cover art, designed by Sancta alumna Georgina Kreutzer (Postgraduate 2016).

Sancta student Amelia-Anne Merz established the project in 2016, recognising the scope it would have to celebrate and strengthen Sancta’s culture of academic excellence and collegiality. 

In September 2018, the first edition of The Anser was published by Sydney University Press and officially launched by The Vice-Chancellor of The University of Sydney. 

“The Anser gives our students and alumni the opportunity to develop their work into papers worthy of academic publishing; it facilitates connectedness amongst the student and alumni body, and allows contributors to represent Sancta in the international academic community.”  

The Editorial Board select submissions; organise double-blind peer-reviews by academic staff from various universities; and engage in the editing process with authors.
