VOX is a student-run academic journal of Politics, Economics and Philosophy which is published each term in affiliation with the School of PEP and the Club of PEP from the University of York.


Our aim is to foster interest in the Social Sciences as key areas of human activity and to provide a platform for the free exchange of ideas between students and academics across the world. As VOX is the Student Journal of Politics, Economics and Philosophy, we believe that the best way to explore the debates surrounding current issues is from an interdisciplinary perspective. Students and academics from universities across the world contribute to this endeavour.


The breadth of the Journal allows for extraordinary topics and controversial opinions.
