Publications
About Us
The Publications Portfolio, the largest in UQPPES, exists to cultivate the intellectual side of PPE and facilitate academic discussion between students. To help us do this, we are responsible for a number of initiatives, and work hard at:
- Publishing weekly articles on PPE’s Statecraft magazine;
- Sewing together our annual Statecraft Inprint, published in November;
- Putting together the venerable Pillar Talk podcast; and
- Organising events to get people together and highlight the intellectual side of the PPE community!
Publications is only able to accomplish what it does due to the incredible generosity of our sub-executive, whose freely given time, experience, and effort are what makes these projects at all possible. For those of you who are Pubs subbies, thank you. For those who aren’t… well, there’s always next year.
Statecraft Magazine
Statecraft is the flagship publication of the UQPPES, and publishes articles by our members on topics ranging from current affairs and political theory to philosophical reflections and satire. Statecraft features work from writers of all levels of experience, from alumni to first-years, and all members are encouraged to try writing for Statecraft during their time at UQ.
Articles are published regularly on Statecraft’s own website, with contributions selected for our annual print edition in October of each year.
Want to get published? Just send an email to Eloise Taylor, Statecraft’s executive editor, at publications.uqppes@gmail.com.
Events
The Publications portfolio is also responsible for running events! Our biggest event is Showcase, at the end of the year, where we celebrate the publishing of the Inprint magazine. In addition, Publications runs a number of events around the year, with the aims of promoting intellectual engagement, helping prospective writers, and introducing the PPE community to Statecraft and our editors!
To keep an eye on our upcoming events, check out the UQPPES Instagram and Facebook accounts.
Inprint Magazine
First established in 2018 as PPE Magazine, the Statecraft Inprint continues to represent the efforts of Statecraft contributors, the Publications team, and our editors throughout the year. The Inprint contains our favourite articles of the year, as well as exclusive magazine content, and is published every November.
The Inprint is an amazing benefit of writing for Statecraft: beyond simply getting your article published online, you have the opportunity to see your thoughts on paper as an official physical publication! If nothing else, having a magazine with the work of you and your peers in it is an amazing memento of your time at university. It’s wonderful to see the delight on the faces of previous contributors when presented with their articles in the Inprint.
More than just an academic magazine, the Inprint is a celebration and affirmation of the Society and the community around Statecraft.
Pillar Talk
Pillar Talk is a podcast run by Publications. Having gone through multiple renditions across the years, our catalogue on Pillar Talk could perhaps best be described as eclectic! Long-form interviews with respected Australian academics can be found rubbing shoulders with chats about university life and recordings of past Keynote Lectures.
This year, Publications is focused on using Pillar Talk to explore the different perspectives about the degree. The PPE Survival Guide has been created with the hope that by broadcasting these experiences throughout the degree and beyond, listeners can get a bit of an insight into what it means to study PPE, as well as pick up some warning, stories, and advice!
Check out the earliest episode of the Survival Guide below, and our full catalogue underneath that.
