THIBODAUX, La. — Nicholls State University students explored topics including William Faulkner and Breakfast at Tiffany’s in the latest issue of the Gulf Coast undergraduate humanities journal, Chênière.
In its fourth installment, Chênière is produced by the Department of English, Modern Languages, and Cultural Studies.
The issue features five articles from multiple fields of study, including art history, film and early American literary studies.

“This issue is the culmination of a year of hard work, from procuring submissions to moving through the editing process,” said faculty advisor Dr. Michael Martin, assistant professor of English. “The five articles are some of the highest quality essays yet published in Chênière.”
Dr. Scott Banville, associate professor of English, founded the online journal, which accepts submissions year-round, in 2014.
