Joshua Smith

Joshua goes against the grain in many ways, in addition to him not being an English student, he is a Socialist who does not shut up about it, a fantastically untalented artist and poet and an unashamed marmite lover. You will usually find him strolling nonchalantly around campus with his sunglasses and coffee cup thinking about starting smoking for no other reason but to complete the Jean-Paul Belmondo look, not realising that he is just another moody philosophy student. He would like to use his knowledge of classics, politics and philosophy to shape the Arts & Lit section this year. His main goal is to expose new ways of looking at things through the lens of history, exploring the niches and crimples in the past to help us understand the present. He aims to do this with a focus on esoteric subjects in art and literature which relate to current affairs and modernity. He cannot wait to work with the rest of the editing committee this year after being involved as a writer for the past year!
