Skepsi is a peer-reviewed online journal produced within the School of European Culture and Languages (SECL). It is run by our PhD/MA candidates, with the support of established and early career academics, and commits to publishing the work of postgraduate students and emerging scholars.
Striving to take advantage of the School’s unique position as a crossroad in academic studies in Europe, Skepsi aims to honour the spirit of the SECL, to develop collective thinking processes in the context of academic research, and to become a forum for European postgraduate researchers and postdoctoral scholars.
The latest edition, Volume V, Issue 2, Autumn 2013, explores the theme ‘Cradled in Caricature’, and has just been published. The contents include:
- James Baker (The British Library), ‘Cradled in what? A Foreword’
- Amy Milka (University of York), ‘Next-Door Neighbours: Contrast and Caricature in the early 1790s’
- Will Studdert (University of Kent), ‘”The Death of Music”: The Nazis’ Relationship with Jazz in World War II’
- Emalee Beddoes (The Barber Institute of Fine Arts, University of Birmingham), ‘Imaging the Inside: Edmond Xavier Kapp, Character Portraiture and Artistic Insight’
The journal may be found in the Templeman Library. To download your electronic copy, please see the page:
