Last year Eleanor McKeegan, 4th year student, went to Louvain to live a course fully immersed in a French speaking academic environment. She has enjoyed so much her experience in Belgium that she has decided to stay... Here is her testimony written from Brussels where she is now working. Thanks to a bursary from Wallonie-Bruxelles Internationale I spent three weeks of the summer holidays at a French teaching course in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium. I had the opportunity to study a range of interesting modules, on topics including intercultural communication, varieties of French in La Francophonie and contemporary literature. The enthusiasm and expertise of the staff made even the module on teaching grammar really enjoyable and it was, of course, a chance to work on my French, which had been lying rather dormant since my oral exam in April. My three week stay in Louvain- la-Neuve was made especially fun by the presence of other international students in my halls. Wallonie-Bruxelles Internationale’s bursary scheme had attracted participants from Chile, Brazil, Tunisia and Iran, in addition to most European countries, and everyone had a thoroughly good time. Perhaps keen to ensure that we didn’t spend every night sampling Belgian beers together, the organisers of the course also organised an array of cultural activities for us. Having spent my Erasmus year at the Université Libre de Bruxelles I already considered myself something of an expert on Belgian culture. However, for such a small country Belgium is very diverse, and I learned a lot (whilst, of course, doing my best to impart glowing examples of Scottish culture to my classmates). I would absolutely recommend that others with the opportunity to take part in the course at Louvain-la-Neuve take full advantage of it, even if unsure of whether they want a career in teaching. On the first day of the course I was offered a job in Brussels, so spent the weekends dragging my newly acquired student friends around flat viewings. Life as a policy intern at Scotland Europa, a membership organisation that promotes Scottish interests in the European Union is certainly different to my student experiences. Many in the European affairs bubble feel very detached from Belgium itself, and are yet to get round to learning either of the country’s official languages (French and Dutch). Having bruxellois friends from the summer course – and from my Erasmus year – has made it much easier for me to feel integrated in the city. Although I would sometimes prefer a three hour grammar lecture to an afternoon of deciphering EU legislation, working in Brussels is another excellent experience. 2 FORUM FORUM, the University of Edinburgh’s Postgraduate Journal of Culture and the Arts, was recently awarded an Innovation Initiative Grant by the Edinburgh Fund to support the third FORUM conference ‘ReVision: Editing Across Disciplines’. This interdisciplinary postgraduate conference will take place on the 15th and 16th July here in Edinburgh. It will allow participants to explore practices and concepts of editing as they appear in different historical and cultural contexts, as well as to reflect on the opportunities, goals and challenges of contemporary editing and publishing. In addition to postgraduate papers, the conference will include workshops with industry professionals and leading scholars in the field such as Dr Kenna Olsen and Dr Padmini Ray Murray. Confirmed Keynote Speakers include Professor Jeremy Smith and filmmaker Boris Gerrets. All are very welcome to attend! More details about registration will be available shortly on the conference website: www.forumjournal.org/conference/. Enquiries can be sent to [email protected]. FORUM also received funding from the LLC Student-Led Initiative Fund last semester which will provide support the journal over the course of the next three years. This is great news as FORUM continues to be a valuable resource for postgraduate students not only at Edinburgh but also around the world. William Christopher Brown, a lecturer at the University of Minnesota and previous contributor to FORUM, recently drew attention to the importance of postgraduate journals and the positive effect which FORUM in particular had on his experience of publishing his research in his article ‘Developing Professionally through Graduate Student Publications’: ‘Of all of the CFPs for journals that I found, I kept coming back to a then-new peer-reviewed online journal called Forum: The University of Edinburgh Postgraduate Journal of Culture and the Arts. [...] Recognizing a connection between my own research interests at the time and the interests of my peers at another institution allowed me to push beyond the psychological blockages. Instead of focusing on myself and my own apprehensiveness at the idea of publishing, I began to think in terms of communicating with peers I had never met. I no longer viewed my writing as a part of the
