The Agora

"The Agora" name comes from the ancient Greek agora, the marketplace where citizens gathered to share ideas.

PLATO's The Agora is a biannual literary, ideas, and fine arts journal, created by members and published for members through a juried selection process.

The Agora
 is made available to the wider Dane County community through this website and PLATO's Facebook page. The first volume of The Agora was published in 2011 and The Agora, Volume 8 was published in October 2023
