The editorial team behind the SWW DTP PGR-led journal Question has changed. General editor Sam Young and submissions editor Rachel Beaney have stepped down. The new team comprises Georgia Holly and Mary-Jannet Leith from Southampton and Berber van der Meulen-van der Veen from Cardiff.<\/p>\n

General editors<\/h2>\n

Georgia is a third year PhD student interested in the sustainable development of the ocean. Her PhD focusses on the ecological, social and cultural benefits of protecting underwater cultural heritage (UCH) as part of the marine environment, and she is currently writing up policy briefings for the integration of UCH into marine management frameworks.<\/p>\n

Berber is in the third year of her part-time PhD on the socio-political changes in north-western Europe in the Late Roman period. This focusses on the potential evidence for migration in the area as well as different social, cultural and ethnic expressions of identity using material culture and the organisation of production of copper-alloy dress accessories.<\/p>\n

Submissions editor<\/h2>\n

Mary-Jannet Leith is a second year PhD student and professional recorder player, interested in exploring and performing Early Music with Scottish connections. Her PhD research focuses on Scottish musical culture in eighteenth-century London, combining a historical analysis of the migration of Scottish musical identity with a focus on the role of Scottish musicians in the creative context of eighteenth-century London.<\/p>\n

Within our research, the term \u2018sustainability’ considers the future of our disciplines, the maintenance of our research practice and the evolution of our principles.<\/p>\n

We believe the theme of \u2018innovation\u2019 lends itself to the forward-looking connotations of sustainability, and leads us on well from this year\u2019s Research Festival: Futures. We encourage applications which look towards the future development of their field.<\/p>\n

Through issue 7: Sustainability and Innovation, we are excited to learn what these terms mean to each discipline. We are keen to raise questions such as:<\/p>\n
