We cap off a year for the journal and the podcast, with a look back at the contents of the last two issues of the year. Volume 8.4 was a special issue, dedicated to the Then & Now projects and looked at the experience of art students studying at Warwick over the past half a century. By contrast Volume 9.1 of Exchanges was a regular journal issue, and brought a selection of articles dealing with everything from ethnography to Norbert Elias to GMOs and Early Career Researcher experiences.
