JAWS is the Journal of Arts Writing by Students, which serves as a platform for peer to peer engagement and for research currently taking place within institutions delivering MA and PhD study programmes to be published. Originally founded at Chelsea School of Art, JAWS has been published by Intellect since 2015, and is the first academic arts journal entirely dedicated to current students' and recent allumi's 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 students. JAWS places great emphasis in the peer review process and relies on its network of interested researchers to deliver current and challenging reads. The editorial board and contributors are all current students, recent graduates or emerging authors, and JAWS is keen to foster relationships with Art Schools and Colleges across the UK and internationally, to maintain our commitment to helping promoting knowledge exchange and career prospects to our contributors.
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, as it is only through sharing and discussion that new ideas can be allowed to develop and grow.
If your University Library doesn't stock JAWS, most students will be able to download copies using their institutional access (Open Athens, Shibboleth) through Ingenta Connect.
