Since we're wrapping up 2020, we thought it might be a good time for us reflect on all that's happened this year.

So this is us, announcing the launch of our (long-awaited) 10.2 issue "Reflections"!

"Reflections" features one article from each previous issue of Excursions - preceded by contemplations and musings on each paper, written by a member of the respective Editorial Board and/or the original author. This issue is almost like our diary, a slice of our history and a collection of memories that we wish to share with you. We hope it serves as a snapshot of our work over the last decade, showcasing the very best research and unique insights that Excursions has to offer.

Following our chaotic issue earlier this month, we now invite you to wrap up warm, have a cuppa tea and join us in our moment of "Reflections". ☕ ❄️

We are very pleased to announce that our 10.1 issue "Chaos" is now published and live online!

When Excursions chose ‘Chaos’ as our theme for 2020, we had no idea how prophetic this choice would turn out to be. The chaos surrounding us has morphed from a complete stranger into a strangely familiar presence. Embracing chaos was no longer a choice, it was a necessity.

What started out as a theme to embrace the little chaos in everyday life - the disruptive routines, the organised messes, the spontaneity, excitability and volatility - transformed into a collection of eight articles and eight essays that reflects a celebration of strength, hope, creativity and solidarity. And we thank you for being a part of this tumultuous, yet exciting adventure!

In the midst of this chaotic world and your own personal chaos, we hope you enjoy this issue. If 2020 thought us anything, it was to adapt and embrace chaos. So we invite you, yet again, to embrace chaos with us.

Doctoral researchers, we want to hear about your experiences doing (or not doing) research during the Covid-19 chaos

20/11/2019

Environmental and social disasters, economical and political crisis, violent and unceasing conflicts inhabit our imaginaries as chaotic aspects of our daily lives. The climate emergency, the migration crisis, and the general turmoil of contemporary cities have been framed as chaos. The demands of an overgrowing market of consumption, the fluctuating network of algorithms and data, and the fluidity of the line between private and public can lead to chaos. Likewise, chaos can be found in messy teenagers’ bedrooms, non-linear thought processes, and even your own set of chaotic data.

Within this scenario, Excursions invites researchers to embrace chaos and investigate the complexities of society, nature, science and being human.

Dear all!
Don't know if you knew that we are looking for new board members!
Every year the journal starts afresh with a brand-new editorial team in charge of bringing the next year’s issue to publication, with the freedom to take the journal in a new creative direction.

Whilst this year’s board is at work on 2019's “Fake” issue, there are lots of roles available for those interested in joining 2019/20’s editorial board.

The key roles available are:

General Editor - Oversees the entire journey to publication: creating the theme; Call for Papers; peer review process; copy editing and journal launch.

Submissions Editor - Responsible for identifying and contacting potential peer reviewers.

Reviews Editor - Responsible for identifying recent academic publications appropriate for review and individuals for their review.

Events Coordinator -Responsible for the organisation of any journal events, such as: new editorial board welcome event; showcase; 1-2 day symposium; journal launch;

Communications – Responsible for publicising the journal on Excursions’s official social media accounts [Email, Twitter and Facebook].

Tech Support – Responsible for managing the Excursions’s website.

The roles above can be shared by more than one individual and it’s very much an inclusive and supportive working community. So don’t be put off if you feel like you do not have all the relevant experience – this is your chance to learn as you go and make your own unique mark on Excursions editorial history!

Alternatively, if you would like to be involved in the journal but do not wish to take on a specific role you can still participate as a general journal board member. This way you will be able to attend any meetings or events, contribute in major decision-making, and participate in copy editing and proofreading. The level of commitment is entirely up to you and can vary throughout the year according to your other work responsibilities.

Applications for the new board close on 31st May. To apply please email [email protected] with a short note on your academic interests.

For more information on the journal, its previous editions and current progress see: http://www.excursions-journal.org.uk/

Looking forward to hearing from you!

OK, so I understand that somebody may have just made this fake Forbes cover and emailed it to me, but I'm just gonna whack it on LinkedIn so all the people who didn't talk to me at High School put their connection requests in
