Pick it up at the Albion Halloween Lecture on the 30th of October (time 19:00, place Lipsius 005), where you will be able to hear more of Dr van Leeuwen as he speaks about "Gothic Cars", as well as PhD student Sandra Mills's lecture "On Death and Dolls" :)

Freelancers Wanted!

After having released a festive 2nd issue over the winter, the Angler team is already gearing up for issue number 3!
This time, it is all about LGBTQ+ and inclusion.
We invite you to write a short story of around a 1000 words and send it to us, so that we can publish our favourite story in the upcoming issue! It would be nice if our theme is incorporated in some way, but we do accept short stories that do not have elements of LGBTQ+ and/or inclusion in them.

Vikings Historical Accuracy and Season 4 Predictions

Chill is in the air, and this Youtube video assesses the historical accuracies of Vikings. Since the fourth season has already aired there are no spoilers to be found. Apart from being a hint with regard to the first issue's theme, the video also serves as an appetiser for the fifth season, which is set to premier on November 29th. If you're not familiar with this great show, here's your chance to check it out! 😉

What better way to kick off 2016 than with a video on Vikings! And whilst this show may not be the most accurate, it is definitely my favorite. Over the cour...

It's been a bit quiet, but not calm. Our treasurer Birgitte (aka Smaug) was wearing a lovely dress past Monday....oh, and the diploma is nice too O:) Congratulations, Birgitte!

It's taken us a while, but Sten Renssen has joined us as our new secretary. Sten, welcome aboard!

07/09/2017

Summer is coming to an end....and the Angler is back in business, which includes hiring a new secretary :) It doesn't take a lot of your time, and you'd have a blast contradicting.....ehm, adding new ideas to those of the rest of the board. Drop us a messsage if you feel up for the job.

In addition to that, guest writers are more than welcome to contribute to the Angler. Should you feel daunted, no worries: we can help you by providing editing and feedback as well as the topic itself. This includes people who draw comics or who simply wish to illustrate the articles.
