Portfolio: emerging research in visual culture is an on-line journal supported by the AHRC Beyond Texts scheme and developed by postgraduates from Northumbria and Sunderland Universities. Portfolio is a unique on-line, peer-reviewed publication that it is a multimedia and interactive project, initiated by Northumbria University and will be jointly administered. We welcome other postgraduates as editors and peer-reviewers.
The creation of Portfolio recognizes the need PGRs have for skills development and exposure to the editing and publishing worlds. As well it is tapping into the interdisciplinary world of visual culture allowing for cross-fermentation of ideas from historians to practitioners. As the name of the funding scheme, Beyond Text, suggests alternate forms of media will be viable – video, performance, sound, etc . The possibilities of working on-line broadens academic studies, and we hope that Portfolio will be a leader in not only supporting PGRs and early researchers, but in new ways of practicing and disseminating research.
Our first issue will be launched in Autumn 2010. If you are interested in being involved as an editor, peer reviewer, or joining our growing professional advisory board please contact us at portfolioejournal@googlemail.com
CFP will be announced shortly
