Samyak: An Undergraduate Journal of Jain Studies is a peer-reviewed and open-access journal published by the Jain Studies Program at the University of North Texas. Through research and engagement, we seek to promote the values of generosity, pluralism, and compassion for all sentient beings. 

Samyak accepts submissions on a rolling basis from undergraduate college students and advanced high school students in any areas related to the study of Jainism. We encourage proposals for themed issues, book reviews, and other special features. Please visit the journal's website or contact the managing editor Leah Kalmanson for more information. 

Samyak 's inaugural issue will feature winning essays from our upcoming Jain Cultural Fair and contributions from students in the spring 2025 session of PHIL 3630 Jainism. Submissions are now open for this and future issues!
