Established in 2017 by a group of PhD students, Midlands Historical Review (MHR) receives support from the Department of History and School of Humanities at the University of Nottingham. The journal publishes research from diverse disciplines, interpreting 'historical' as a broad underlying element of scholarship within the Arts and Humanities. Midlands Historical Review is an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed, student-led journal which showcases the best student research in the Arts and Humanities. We accept submissions from students at any stage of their university career, including exceptional undergraduate and postgraduate dissertations, Masters level research papers, conference papers, book reviews and any other innovative research format. Students in the Arts and Humanities produce valuable contributions to knowledge which, once a degree has been awarded, are often forgotten. High quality research deserves an audience no-matter the level of education it was produced for. The research published by MHR encourages and enables later cohorts of students to build upon previous students’ work.
