4 BSS Honours students in first Groningen Honours Review

With no less than five of the seven articles the Honour students of the Faculty BSS have had a substantial contribution to the first issue of Honours Review, a new journalistic and scientific magazine published by Honour Students of the University of Groningen.

Jeremy Dillmann, who also speaks at the opening of the faculty acdemic year on September 5, wrote the opening story titled Humpty Dumpty, The advantages of an interdisciplinary approach in academia. The other BSS contributions came from Bettina Franke, Clemens Ebeling and Tobias Meierdierks (2x). All Psychology students.

The journal, developed on the example of the well-known student journal Harvard Law Review, offers talented University of Groningen students an interdisciplinary platform to share the results of their academic work with each other as well as with the academic community and the wider public. ‘Honours Review can be compared with a very high-quality science supplement in a newspaper’, says Dr Kees de Vey Mestdagh, lecturer and advisory member of the board of editors. ‘The articles discuss academic and social issues from a multidisciplinary perspective. The quality of the first issue is very high, definitely something the University of Groningen can be proud of.’
