Hello and Welcome to the St George’s Academic Journal: Labor Amoris
As we enter the new year, this term’s edition collates the Sixth Form’s latest passion projects. Extending beyond its predecessor, this publication of Labor Amoris delves into key debates in the world of science and most importantly, how these connect with the social world. For those who may prefer the humanities, there are articles exploring the arts, the dynamic world of politics and critical philosophical thought. Student, parent, or teacher – there is something for everyone. As this is the second, and last, edition that I will edit of the academic journal, it seems important that I reiterate its meaning. Labor Amoris is exactly what it translates to: Labour of Love. Not only mine, but of the writers, artists and, now editors, who have contributed. Labor Amoris spotlights those who have dedicated their time to invest in something outside of their subjects and go beyond the mark scheme. And what is more important than time? In our rapid and ever-changing world, to give up your time is precious, and as social media progresses and technology improves, I have faith that this generation will be the one to make sure it progresses in the right direction. Nuanced discussion is a dwindling flame, and I hope that Labor Amoris can be the match that strikes it back. The writers are not censored or restricted by prescribed formats and are free to explore their artistic and poetic sides. Accompanied by substantiated opinion pieces or personally inspired cultural critiques, all views and opinions expressed are those of the students alone. No article will ever be the same. With that in mind, enjoy! Elif Akkemik Editor
