Exchanges: The Interdisciplinary Research Journal
We hope you’ve had a restful and enjoyable summer. Here at Exchanges, it’s been an extremely busy few months!
MRC@50 Special Issue Published
The Modern Records Centre (MRC) half-century celebratory issue came out last week, as the capstone of a year-long celebration. The issue is a blend of history and biography, around the centre and its evolution and development, alongside tributes from academics and students who have made use of its resources. The theme is very much on the impact the MRC has made on research and researchers, and while those papers in the issue are a fascinating insight, you’ll quickly realise that they’re just scratching the surface of what this wonderful resource and its incredible staff have achieved over the years. My thanks to MRC, and the team of dedicated staff who helped us realise this issue’s publication.

Research Culture Special Issue Reactions
As we highlighted previously our much-celebrated Research Culture special issue was published. The response to this issue has been extremely positive, especially at this year’s International Research Culture Conference (IRCC, 16th Sept, University of Warwick). If you’ve not read this one yet – here’s the link to an issue crammed full of fascinating articles: https://doi.org/10.31273/eirj.v11i3.
Research Culture Special Issue Call Launched
At the IRCC ’24 we also announced a further volume of Exchanges will be given over to papers on and around research culture once more. We are delighted that the National Centre for Research Culture has partnered with us once again too. We’re very much looking forward to going through all the submissions and inviting lots of authors to contribute to what will doubtless be another bumper issue (or maybe two) of Exchanges next summer.
Adventures in Interdisciplinarity
Exchanges was delighted to head down to London to speak at a recent event hosted at and by the British Academy (BA) entitled Collaboration of the Faculties– Adventures in Interdisciplinarity. This event was part of the BA’s early career researcher network’s programme and was attended by a wide range of scholars from across the UK. The Chief Editor participated in a panel on publishing and spoke about how we at Exchanges approach such things. The event was extremely positive, and we have high hopes there might be some follow on collaborations to emerge from it.Our thanks to the British Academy for the invitation to participate.
The Exchanges Discourse Podcast
The first in a series of interviews around the Research Culture special issue is now available, with others to follow over the next few weeks. Listen to the episode here:

Office on the Move
On a minor note – the Exchanges campus office to Zeeman, Ground Floor, Room 0.04.
Coming Soon
Finally, as it’s October, that means the next regular issue of Exchanges is scheduled for publication at the end of the month. This will be Volume 12 Issue 1, as we enter into our twelfth publication year and our thirtieth issue. Naturally, while it might be too late to contribute to this issue, the open call for papers is there 365 days a year.

While this will be our last issue of 2024, with the work on the Queerness as Strength, Gender & Intersectionality, Sustainability Culture AND Research Culture ’24 special issues already underway, there’s plenty more Exchanges coming in 2025
