    Oregon Quarterly is the magazine of the University of Oregon. Four times a year, we present the diversity of ideas and people associated with the University, Oregon, and the Northwest. Just as the University of Oregon is a state and regional center for learning, teaching, research, and service, Oregon Quarterly is a state and regional magazine of good writing and important ideas.
