IGNITE YOUR IDEAS
IRCCS Working Paper Series
aims to stimulate exchange of ideas for innovative research in Cultural Studies.
About
As a vibrant hub for cultural studies under FHM, the International Research Centre for Cultural Studies aims to produce, and engage with, innovative ideas about culture and its complex relations to identity, mobility, education, technology, and society. It hopes to serve as a clearinghouse for critical resources in cultural studies especially for early career academics and postgraduate students so as to build a sustainable future for the Centre.
The IRCCS has just launched an online Working Papers Series, which seeks to stimulate exchange of ideas for innovative research, such as testing out ideas (e.g. through pilot studies) especially for, but not limited to, early career researchers, PhD, EDD, MA students, and advanced undergraduate students, in order to help them in revising their papers before submission to professional peer-reviewed journals. Submissions to the series shall receive a friendly review by an editorial board with the assistance of the Centre members. The working papers shall receive comments and suggestions from experts in the field.
Upon acceptance of the work by the editors, an expanded abstract of about 1,000 words shall be published on the IRCCS website. Readers are encouraged to contact the authors to obtain the full-length papers.
The Working Papers Series welcomes a wide range of submissions that engage with cultural studies in the broad sense of the term.
