A creation of the Collaborative for Multilingual Writing & Research (CMWR)—a program within the University Center for Writing-based Learning at DePaul University in Chicago—the new online magazine Tellus shares and furthers the conversations around language and culture that come up in our work.

Tellus showcases and celebrates the work of multilingual and cultural communities at DePaul and throughout other communities.

Tellus [ˈtel.luːs]: A Latin word meaning Earth.

For the CMWR’s purposes, Tellus is our way of inviting multicultural and multilingual communities to tell us about their experiences at DePaul!

We accept a wide range of texts, audio, and visual works—in different languages.
