It is our pleasure to introduce the second volume of Vernacular: New Connections in Language, Literature, & Culture. This year, we were overwhelmed by the quality of the articles we received from graduate students from all over the world. We would like to thank the contributors for trusting our journal, as well as the compelling work of our reviewers. Finally, we would like to show appreciation to the professors on the editorial board, and special thanks to Dr. Rudyard Alcocer for his mentoring and guidance throughout the academic year. Nicolas Portugal, Editor-in-Chief
