e-merge Issue 2 April 2010
Welcome to the second issue of e-merge. e-merge is part of a growing number of undergraduate e-journals that provide fora for first class student work and expand the possibilities for embedding the research process in the curriculum. Our second issue draws together contributions from across the School of Social Science, each demonstrating the critical edge that marks a first class piece.
This issue has an international flavour, with articles covering the 1930s to the present day and spanning three continents. Jewel’s article considers the difficult relationship between anarchists and other leftist groups in 1930s Spain. Fielding’s piece was inspired by her travels and applies Galtung’s work on types of violence to the situation of the Bedouin peoples in contemporary Israel. While Naylor’s work explores the life of Muhammad Ali, it is the boxing champion’s resistance to dominant disources of ‘blackness’ that takes centre stage. Fletcher’s article analyses the gap between policy and practice in the area of eco-tourism in the Seychelles, exploring both positive initiatives and potentially negative impacts. Miller’s work on the TGN1412 drug trials of 2006 exposes the potentially fatal impact of corporate practice.
We are currently working with staff and students of the School of Social Science to produce the third, expanded, edition of e-merge. |
