New Issue Published: Welcoming our Thirtieth Issue of Exchanges

Writing about web page https://exchanges.warwick.ac.uk/index.php/exchanges/issue/view/101

Another month and another new issue of Exchanges arrives, although this time it’s not a special issue

Delighted and slightly relieved to announce the latest issue of Exchanges: The Interdisciplinary Research Journal has just been published (Vol 12.1). This marks the third issue in as many months and caps off what has been a frantically busy half year for myself (and the editors working on the issue). This is – should you be counting - our thirtieth issue, and unlike the two previous ones, this time it’s one of our regular issues containing a collection of articles from across the disciplinary spectrum, from scholars at Warwick and around the world.

As this is a regular, autumn issue, there’s no central theme this time – although I should note many of the articles continue and develop conversations from prior issues. This is partly by chance, rather than design although at least a couple of articles were invited under a specific theme tied to a workshop at the IAS earlier this year. You can read more about the topics in the issue in the editorial, or indeed in the issue description. Naturally, the editorial briefly introduces the issue as well as updating readers on other forthcoming issues, and opportunities to contribute to future volumes of the journal.

While I mention this in the issue, I would naturally like to thank all our contributors, reviewers and editors for their hard work on this issue. The considerable effort behind the scenes to review, revise and format each article – not to mention the effort we expend on those which don’t quite make it too – is not inconsiderable. So much of what we do on the journal feels like an iceberg – the issue you see being only the tip floating above the ocean’s surface with so much of that scholarly labour is hidden below.

With the publication of this issue, our last for 2024, I am personally delighted to note that for the first time since the early summer I don’t have the prospect of a new issue to produce in just a few short weeks. Not that I’ll be idling my time away, as we have four special issues currently brewing, and work towards the April 2025 issue continues apace too. Nevertheless, it will be nice to have a little more time on my hands to catch up with all those regular tasks I normally work on over the summer!

Hope you enjoy the issue, or are even inspired to contribute an article for a future issue – I’ll very much look forward to reading it.
