The Coastlander is an ecumenical Christian journal at the University of Southern California. Founded in the summer of 2020, the journal strives to have honest conversations about current issues and how Christians interact with them. At USC, we operate in partnership with the Nova Forum for Catholic Thought.

The 2024-2025 theme for The Coastlander is Beauty and Virtue, where we will explore how faith transforms our understanding of the people and world around us, the art we consume, and the intersection between Beauty, Truth and Goodness.
