Underscore is a student-run publication that began in the SCI-Arc corridors nearly three years ago. Prior to this Fourth Edition, the publication had remained dormant for nearly two years. As the Editor-in-Chief and new member of the publication, I helped Underscore's editorial body use Hybrids, Bastards + Crossbreeds as a resurgence for the publication and a catalyst for student engagement, ultimately doubling the number of contributors and Underscore's annual budget in 2018. 

HB+C was born from a school-wide interest in the work around hybrids. Spanning from several design studios and visual studies courses, to visiting faculty members, and a range of theses, the Fourth Edition represented a long-awaited coalescence of student efforts and voices.
