Soapbox is an open-access platform for cultural analysis, run by students from the University of Amsterdam.
The website and each biannual issue both give the floor to students, PhDs and young researchers (curators, artists, etc.). We publish forward-thinking and experimental work on a broad range of cultural artefacts, concepts and phenomena. As well as providing a route to publication, both platforms showcase and adapt for a wider audience the existing work of cultural analysis and other humanities students, in the Netherlands and beyond.
Learn more about our upcoming first issue here, and our latest call for papers here.
