The new issue of Leviathan has landed! 38 articles discuss topics including hegemonic masculinity, gender and authoritarianism, collective mobilisation, public trust, and a lot more! journals.ed.ac.uk/leviathan/is...
Cover of Leviathan Volume 16 Issue 2, showing a broken chess piece and the title 'Against the Grain'. The text reads: “As a fully student-run undergraduate publication, we believe that students, at any point in their educational journey, are not simply passive recipients of long-held knowledge. Rather, we are a community of eager minds, actively contributing to the most important academic conversations.” DOI: https://doi.org/10.2218/hmva7e31
