The Essex Graduate Journal
Founder: John Scott
Editor: Michael Halewood
The Essex Graduate Journal of Sociology was established by Professor John
Scott as an outlet for the work of Essex-based postgraduate students, allowing
them to present their ideas for wider discussion among other graduates,
researchers and academics. Articles present provisional ideas and research
results, suggestions for further research and plans of work. All contributions
are refereed prior to acceptance.
The articles here are all authored by current
or recent PhD and Masters students from the Department of Sociology at the
University of Essex and represent a small sample of graduate work in the
Department. Most have been presented at our annual doctoral conference. There
have been around 40 PhDs awarded in the last 3 years to students in the
Department and there over 100 PhD students registered at any one time.
Lists of titles of recently completed theses are held by the University Library and copies of any of these can be ordered
through inter-library loans.
