NEW HISTORIES
The free online history magazine
FOREWORD
Welcome to New Histories, a student-led platform that has been running for over
ten years! We publish historical articles created, edited and published by
students on topics of their choice.
With a focus on community building, our aim is to make history more accessible
to a wider audience. We hope to become a multimedia magazine, with not only
written posts, but also podcasts, videos, artwork and more. The choice is yours!
It is important to remember that this is not academic work so you don't need to
treat your contributions like an essay. There is no need for references or word
counts. New Histories is an opportunity for all History students to tell the
history you want in the way you want.
You can write about anything you want. However, we particularly welcome
contributions based on monthly themes and observances. We want you to write
about the things you are passionate about, while covering a range of topics,
times and places.
Our next volume is now accepting submissions.
Here are some ideas to get you thinking:
* 8 March, International Women's Day
* 11 March - 17 March, Neurodiversity Celebration Week
* 7 April, World Health Day
* 22 April, Earth Day
* 1 May, International Workers' Day
* 13 May - 19 May, Mental Health Awareness Week
* June, Pride Month
These are just some suggestions - you get to choose what you create and how you
create it.
Check out our Resources for contributors section for further advice. You can
also browse through our previous volumes in search of inspiration.
Please use this form to submit your contributions.
The deadline for this edition is Friday 7th June 2024. However, you don't need
to wait until then to submit your contributions as we will post your submissions
on a rolling basis throughout the semester.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at
history.blogs@sheffield.ac.uk
We look forward to seeing your contributions!
