At the beginning of this academic year, the concept of a Humanities & Social Sciences Journal was simply an idea. Yet, only a few months later, this idea has become fully realised; it has been an incredible journey to witness. We would firstly like to thank the supporting staff - Miss Gibbs and Mr Richardson - who have aided us by moderating submissions and providing their utmost support as we developed the Journal. After reviewing and editing all submissions, the Humanities and Social Sciences Journal Team would like to extend our final gratitude towards all the students who have completed a submission for the Journal.

Academic writing is an important skill as we continue through school, to university, and being able to establish this necessary skill at an early stage is highly beneficial. We are extremely grateful for your time in reading and hope that this is the first of many Humanities Journals represented within RGS.
