The New Union is a project designed to articulate, discuss, and defend the value of the arts and humanities in their creative and educative elements, by stressing the ways in which they seek to challenge, undermine, critique, satirise, deconstruct, and interrogate the established political order and dominant assumptions of value. Unlike academic journals, we provide an open forum for anyone, both academics and non-academics, to participate in the discussion. We encourage anyone who wishes to add to the conversation to become part of The New Union. Please email your ideas and suggestions to editors@new-union.co.uk or find us on Twitter @the_new_union.
