Run by postgraduates, it aims to provide a critical but supportive entry into the realm of academic publishing for emerging academics, including postgraduates and recent postdoctoral students, the world over. One of our aims is to encourage the publication of high quality postgraduate research; therefore all submitted articles are anonymously peer-reviewed as part of the acceptance and feedback process. This rigorous and constructive process is designed to enhance the worth of postgraduate and postdoctoral work. After the successful launch of our fourth issue, on 'Journeys of Discovery', eSharp is delighted to announce the Call for Papers for the forthcoming issue, on 'Identity and Marginality'. Please forward the attached Call for Papers to your postgraduate students and help us to spread the word. eSharp is very grateful for your help and support. In case you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
