Skepsi
An Interdisciplinary Online Journal of European
Thought and Theory in Humanities and Social Sciences
Skepsi is a peer reviewed
online journal based in the School of European Culture
and Languages at the University of Kent, and is entirely
run by research students.
Its aim is to honour the spirit of the School of
European Culture and Languages, working hard to take
advantage of its unique position as a crossroads
in academic studies in Europe. Our hope is to develop
collective thinking processes in the context of academic
research, and to become a forum for European postgraduate
researchers and postdoctoral scholars.
Our title, Skepsi – which originally
means “thought” in ancient Greek – symbolizes
our will to explore new areas and new methods in
the traditional fields of academic research in the
Humanities and Social Sciences. Originality and creativity
in the approach of thought and of texts are crucial
for us: to enhance and to promote these aspects will
be our contribution to the tremendous range of existing
academic publications.
We are delighted to announce that the second issue of Skepsi has been released on the 14th of May 2009. The topic is "Considerations of Audience in Medieval & Early Modern Studies" and is available online at THIS ADDRESS.
