About Us

History Collective was launched by a group of students of the International Bachelor of History program at Erasmus University Rotterdam in 2021.

We are an academic journal made by students for students, or anyone with a passion for history, particularly interested in the intersection between history and contemporary societal issues.

 

We aspire to ventilate creative thought led by the student community as a way to show the relevance of history, and to provide a safe platform for students from marginalised communities interested in academic research.

 

History Collective publishes annually, containing a selection of ethically peer-reviewed and open-access articles. We also post on our blog and social media. If you would like to share smaller essays, you can reach us here.

Our Vision

Creating an academic platform for students to write, research and publish their ideas.

 

Promoting progressive conversations about historical narratives and representations of subaltern communities to counteract racism, misogyny, and classism in academia.

 

Encouraging social science and humanities students to expand their field of interest and improve their multidisciplinary research skills.

 

Allowing prospective historians and students to undertake current societal challenges.
