Wednesday 1 March 2017 marked the launch of the inaugural issue of Brief Encounters, an open access peer-reviewed postgraduate e-journal, run entirely by doctoral researchers from across the Consortium for the Humanities and the Arts South-East England (CHASE).
The launch was held at the London Transport Museum and featured talks from some of the contributors to the first issue, who showcased the journal’s diverse range of subjects and uncovered some of the academic ‘encounters’ that they have experienced so far in their careers.
Kent is one of nine CHASE members, with School of History PhD student Emily Bartlett a co-founding and senior editor of Brief Encounters.
The launch coincides with a call for submissions for the second issue, which closes on Wednesday 31 May 2017. The Editorial Board seeks contributions that reflect the diverse and multifaceted nature of the consortium. We especially encourage submissions that explore ideas within the early stages of research or which challenge existing interpretations. Further information can be found here.
Brief Encounters welcomes submissions from across the Consortium, from researchers at member institutions as well as from colleagues working at CHASE’s many cultural partners.
