Aims & Scope

FORUM is a peer-reviewed journal for postgraduate students working in culture and the arts. Our objective is to create and foster a network for the exchange and circulation of ideas. The journal's interdisciplinary approach encourages contributions from across the spectrum of the arts and humanities. Each edition focuses on a selected theme, provoking discussion and debate whilst maintaining an overall thematic coherency. FORUM's objective is to provide a platform for the exchange of intellectual ideas, encouraging postgraduate participation in contemporary critical debates; our student-led team works to foster a network for the exchange and circulation of ideas within the wider postgraduate community. We seek submissions that take innovative approaches and challenge the boundaries of conventional disciplines.
