Uncategorised - ESPRit

The Twelfth International ESPRit Conference, themed "Periodicals: S.T.E.A.M. AHEAD!", successfully took place from 11-13 September 2024 at the Università degli Studi di Urbino Carlo Bo. The conference brought together scholars from around the world to explore the intersections of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (S.T.E.A.M.) in periodicals.

The event featured engaging presentations, discussions, and a special workshop for postgraduate students, along with guided city tours and museum visits. Participants reflected on the role of periodicals in the history of industrial and scientific revolutions, their materiality, and their impact on knowledge dissemination.

We extend our gratitude to all speakers, participants, and organizers for their contributions to this enriching academic exchange.

For those interested in the topics discussed, the conference program and related materials remain available. Please visit the conference website or contact the organizers at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. for further information.

The Journal of European Periodical Studies invites submissions for its Open Issue 10.2 (Winter 2025). JEPS is a bi-annual, peer-reviewed, diamond open access journal published by Ghent University and the flagship journal of ESPRit, the European Society for Periodical Research. JEPS publishes articles on any aspect of the study of periodicals (magazines, newspapers, and other periodical publications) in Europe — in its broadest sense — from the seventeenth century to the present.

For the Open Issue, JEPS welcomes a wide range of critical, theoretical, and methodological perspectives on the periodical press, including, but not limited to, history, literary studies, art history, visual culture, gender studies, media studies, history of science, and digital humanities. We particularly welcome submissions that consider European periodicals in a broader transnational, cross-language, cross-period, or interdisciplinary context.

Papers should be between 5,000 and 8,000 words, prepared according to the JEPS author guidelines, and submitted through the online submission portal at https://openjournals.ugent.be/jeps/.

Deadline for submissions: 1 December 2025
