The Queen Mary History Journal is officially seeking submissions for our Spring MODERNITY issue. Please email your essays to our Head Editor, Tammy, at [email protected] by Friday 14th February at the latest.

---

We welcome research essays which explore any aspect of modernity, anything related to or reacting against the notion of progress or the ‘modern’ across periods and geographies you’ve studied at QMUL.

If you’re unsure about your essay, and how much it fits the theme, send it to us anyway! We accept submissions from all undergraduates within the School of History and this is a great opportunity to get your work published in an officially recognised undergraduate journal (think CV, job and postgraduate applications, personal pride).

All essays will be considered for publication, those who do not make the print journal will be published on our blog with your permission. There is also the opportunity to speak alongside peers and our guest speaker at our March launch event. If you have any queries please contact Nicole, Editor-in-chief, at [email protected] or [email protected]

We look forward to reading your essays soon!

All the best,
The Queen Mary History Journal

For all our first year History students, the PASS mentoring scheme is a great opportunity to seek extra guidance and support from second, third and fourth year History students. Sessions will run weekly on Wednesdays, 1-2pm in Bancroft 3.20 starting next Wednesday 2nd October.

PASS is a course-based mentoring scheme, run for students by students. It gives first-years the opportunity to discuss study-related problems and get general advice from higher-year undergraduates in their subject.
