ESPRit online seminars
In order to build our online ESPRit community, we are organising a series of one-hour online seminars in collaboration with the ETMIET/KENI team from Panteion University (Athens).
These seminars delve into various aspects of periodical studies, featuring keynote lectures and presentations from scholars worldwide. The sessions are categorized into specific series, each focusing on distinct themes:
➡️ General Series: this series encompasses a wide range of topics in periodical studies, offering a platform for scholars to present new research, methodologies, and theoretical approaches.
➡️ 'Periodicals and the Law' Network Online Seminar Series: launched in the 2023-2024 academic year, this series examines the relationship between periodicals and legal frameworks, including press regulation, intellectual property, and censorship
➡️ Seminar Series on Transnational Periodical Research: this work-in-progress series features contributors to the upcoming Brill Handbook of Transnational Periodical Research (edited by Marianne Van Remoortel and Fionnuala Dillane, planned for publication in 2025). Each session, designed as an interactive workshop, focuses on challenges in transnational periodical research, exploring methodologies, theoretical approaches, and the usefulness (or limitations) of the 'transnational' framework
➡️ JEPS in Conversation Webinar Series: launched in 2025, this new initiative by the Journal of European Periodical Studies offers online conversations accompanying each new issue. Featuring editors and authors in dialogue, the series provides a dynamic platform to highlight current research, engage with readers, and reflect on evolving themes in periodical studies

Festival of Women Writers and Journalists: A Centenary Celebration of Time and Tide
Date: Wednesday 11 November 2020
This online event, part of an AHRC-funded impact project marking the centenary of feminist magazine Time and Tide, will explore the status of women in the media and publishing landscape today in conversation with influential female journalists, editors, and publishers, including Polly Toynbee of the Guardian and Nicola Beauman of Persephone Books.
- Panel 1 – “Women, Politics, and the Press” – will interrogate the status of women in spheres of print journalism from which they have historically been excluded (politics, economics, international affairs). Confirmed panellists: Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee, and Helen Lewis, staff writer for The Atlantic and former deputy editor of the New Statesman. Chaired by Dr Sarah Lonsdale, Senior Lecturer in Journalism, City University of London.
- Panel 2 – “Women, Publishing, and the Literary Press” – will focus on literary and review journalism and publishing, in particular the persistent gender bias in favour of male reviewers and books authored by men. Confirmed panellists: Thea Lenarduzzi, Commissioning Editor at the TLS; Catherine Riley, writer and co-founder of the Primadonna Festival; Nicola Beauman, founder of Persephone Books. Chaired by Rebecca Harding, Chair of the Society of Women Writers and Journalists.
These hour-long live-streamed panel discussions will be accompanied by pre-recorded illustrated talks about Time and Tide’s interwar history, all of which will be made available on the project website.
For more about Time and Tide and this project please visit our website, www.timeandtidemagazine.org, where further details about the Festival will be published in due course.
