JAWS is the Journal of Arts Writing for and by art students serving as a platform for peer to peer engagement and for research currently taking place within institutions as part of MA and PhD study. Originally founded at Chelsea School of Art, JAWS has been published by Intellect since 2015, and is the first academic arts journal entirely produced by and dedicated to current students work. It works to open new lines of discourse and collaboration and seeks to promote early career researchers across a wider academic community, demonstrating the ability, dedication and professionalism of it’s students. JAWS is keen to foster relationships with Art Schools and Colleges across the UK and internationally. JAWS editors and contributors are all current students or recent graduates.
Publication in the JAWS journal provides students with valuable experience of writing for an academic journal (an essential component of PhD study or an academic career) as well as circulation and recognition of their research. It is not only an opportunity to take their academic writing to the next level but also to share outcomes and findings across a research network We at JAWS believe strongly in research as a living pragmatic entity - it should not languish unread in a file, bending bedroom shelves, it is only through sharing and discussion that new ideas can be allowed to develop and grow.
JAWS is a forum for commentary and discussion of pedagogical issues and relationships, writing must consider counter discussion - we sadly cannot print righteous indignant ranting without balance. We also invite images of artworks and visual documentation of projects, especially those related to practice as research
