Welcome to Kaleidoscope, an interdisciplinary, online, open-access journal edited by postgraduates at Durham University, for the benefit of the postgraduate research community in the United Kingdom and internationally. Working under the auspices of the Institute of Advanced Study, Kaleidoscope is designed to foster communication between postgraduates in different disciplines and to promote excellence in interdisciplinary research.
The Winter 2011 issue of Kaleidoscope will be an open call for papers on the 2010-2011 IAS theme of 'Futures'. Submissions interpreting the idea of what happens next will be encouraged from postgraduate students and post-doctoral scholars from all disciplines. The open call for papers will be published here nearer to the opening of submissions in August 2011.
Volume 4, Issue 1 of Kaleidoscope was published in August 2010. This special issue publishes the papers presented at Durham University's Afterlives conference. The upcoming issue 4.2 will present a number of papers from the fifth annual Rhizomes conference – held by The School of Languages and Comparative Cultural Studies in The University of Queensland, Australia – entitled Diaspora: Language and Place. http://www.uq.edu.au/rhizomes/index1.htm
