Boundary 2
''Boundary 2'', often stylized ''boundary 2'', is a quarterly peer-reviewed academic journal of postmodern theory, literature, and culture. Established in 1972 by William V. Spanos and Robert Kroetsch (Binghamton University), under the title ''boundary 2, a journal of postmodern literature'', the journal moved to Duke University Press in the late 1980s and is now edited by Paul A. Bové ( University of Pittsburgh). Since the early 2000s the journal has been closed to unsolicited submissions. This policy was described by Jeffrey Williams, editor of ''Minnesota Review'', as one that "seems a little too closed, and would go in the opposite direction of taking chances". ''boundary 2'' has published special issues focusing on postmodernism in individual countries such as Greece or Canada, as well as a book of articles previously published in the journal. In an interview published in the ''Minnesota Review'', Spanos discusses the history of the journal, its financial and editor ...

Universities typically offer both undergraduate and postgraduate programs. The first universities in Europe were established by Catholic Church monks. The University of Bologna (), Italy, which was founded in 1088, is the first university in the sense of: *being a high degree-awarding institute. *using the word ''universitas'' (which was coined at its foundation). *having independence from the ecclesiastic schools and issuing secular as well as non-secular degrees (with teaching conducted by both clergy and non-clergy): grammar, rhetoric, logic, theology, canon law, notarial law.Hunt Janin: "The university in medieval life, 1179–1499", McFarland, 2008, , p. 55f.de Ridder-Symoens, Hild ...
