Stirling Magazines and Periodicals Research Group

Our research encompasses everything from radical newspapers to modernist little magazines to contemporary artist’s zines; from The People’s Friend to Radical Scotland to the corporate magazine of a US mining conglomerate.

We study these materials in a range of contexts (e.g. Victorian social history, modern media studies, modernist literature, Scottish or American cultural studies) but fully embrace the magpie nature of the periodical, following connections and possibilities across disciplinary boundaries.
