About this Journal

Double Helix was founded in 2013 by Robert Smart, with a grant from the Davis Education Foundation. The journal gets its title from The Making of Meaning, in which Ann Berthoff muses on the structure of the DNA molecule as a model for the composing process.

The Double Helix logo was designed by Nicole Misencik, a student of Interactive Digital Design at Quinnipiac University.
