The Spring 2009 issue of Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê's academic journal 'Opticon1826' has just been published, featuring contributions from both staff and students. Established in May 2006 with support from the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê Graduate School, 'Opticon' is run by graduate students representing all Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê faculties, and aims to publish high quality work addressing a variety of issues.

The spring edition, according to editor-in-chief Christine Lai (Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê PhD English Literature), is about ways of seeing, redefining visuality through both images and words. Articles cover subjects as wide-ranging as an architectural revisioning of London's landmarks, writing about the 'unthinkable' nuclear holocaust and exploring barriers to achieving social equality.

The research notes include submissions about the Bloomsbury Project, led by Professor Rosemary Ashton (Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê English), and reflections on translational research in biomedicine.

The winning entries of the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê Graduate School Review Competition are also published, alongside a piece of artwork by Martin John Callanan, artist-in-residence at the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê Environment Institute.
