There's plenty of opportunities for you to be involved in student media, from our student-led radio station SOAS Radio, to our student-led newspaper The SOAS Spirit, or our PoC-led zine The Robeson.

The Robeson

The Robeson is a PoC-led zine publication that aims to amplify and showcase the voices of students of the Global Majority at SOAS by providing a curated, creative space for their expression. The Robeson is a highly collaborative project and submissions will be open to any PoC student wishing to apply. We hope to embody and build upon our namesake (and SOAS alumnus') legacy of liberation through art and culture for the empowerment of fellow PoC and solidarity with marginalised folk across the globe.
