SOAS Literary Review is a refereed online journal edited and produced by research students at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London.

The journal seeks to provide an international forum for research students working on humanities topics and focusing on Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. Papers on literature, visual and performing arts, film and media are welcome.

We also encourage contributions on all aspects of postgraduate research including translations, fieldwork commentaries, and book and media reviews. The journal aims to stimulate dialogue between research students and scholars and forge links across institutions.
