Welcome to the twenty-second issue of eSharp. Its launch coincides with the publication of the thirteenth issue of The Kelvingrove Review, University of Glasgow’s interdisciplinary postgraduate book review journal. Marking the 10th anniversary of eSharp, we chose the theme ‘Dialogue Across Decades’, which was shared by both journals. To celebrate our 10th anniversary, a conference was held in The University of Glasgow, which explored publishing in Scotland in the 21st century. Speakers included: Professor Claire Squires, Gordon Johnston, Nick-e Melville, Katie Grant, Zoe Strachan, Alistair Braidwood, Adrian Searle, Marion Sinclair, Neville Moir and Dr. Marc Alexander.

Lead editors: Mary Jacobs, Elina Koristashevskaya, Emily Flaherty
