Who are we?

At the beginning of the 2019-2020 school year, two friends with the same passion for interdisciplinary learning and exploration in the Humanities came together, crafting an initial pitch for a school-wide academic publication. Very soon, this nascent form of an idea gained traction and the team expanded to include several other student authors, illustrators and editors who now serve as the foundation of the Humanities Harrovian magazine.

What is our vision?

We are a student-led project, seeking to give our peers the opportunity to broaden their horizons by extending their intellectual curiosity beyond the curriculum. We hope the Humanities Harrovian will become a platform on which interested and capable students can express their views on subjects ranging from contemporary issues to obscure historical events.

‘Creating the Humanities Harrovian from the ground-up has been an amazing and enriching opportunity for me and my peers. We are so proud of what we have accomplished and truly hope that this publication can inspire everyone to communicate their passions for the Humanities outside of the classroom.’

---- Sally Wang, Founder

‘Writing about a topic that interests me beyond the classroom has been such a great opportunity. It’s an amazing chance to do some independent learning and get to argue my point of view.’

----- Sophie Putman, Founder

‘As an art student, I have always acknowledged the fact it is hard to seek out opportunities to contribute to the school through art. As such I am incredibly lucky to have found a group of peers that is so supportive of its member’s passions. The formation of the Humanities Harrovian not only creates more opportunities for humanities enthusiasts but also opens a new pathway for artists to share their talents with the Harrow community.’

----- Kayan, Art Director

‘A publication like this only comes to fruition because of an enormous amount of work behind the scenes. The Humanities Harrovian team has combined academic curiosity with dedication and teamwork to produce a document that is astonishing in its maturity and professionalism. Enthusiasm and intentions are easy; seeing them through are the hard part. This team’s vision has materialised into something quite unique and will be enjoyed by the Harrow HK community now, and for years to come.’
