MAGAZINE
The Perspective Magazine is UPF’s one and only printed magazine and is published quarterly. The Perspective covers all kinds of topics related to international affairs, ranging from stories concerning national and international politics and ranging from the local to the global.
Our goal is to be an independent voice and provide an arena for debate and discussion to our members. We aim to inspire and encourage people to develop their interest in world politics and to help gain insight into foreign affairs from a range of perspectives.
The magazine committee allows students to try their hand at journalistic writing and reporting. As a member of the magazine committee, you will be able to do what is done at any magazine – layout, proofreading, and of course, writing deep-digging articles. This is the perfect committee for those interested in writing and journalism!

Graciela Moreno-Niño
Head of Magazine & Board Member
After 9522 km travelled with 3 suitcases full of excitement and suspense, I went from chaos, tacos and tequila to enjoying the cold and quiet evenings in Lund. Hola hola! My name is Graciela, and after studying law and dealing with the pretentious and not very accessible legal language for 5 years, I knew that I wanted to encourage people to communicate relevant issues in a nicer and more entertaining way. That’s how I ended up at The Perspective, and even though I keep promising myself that I’ll write about different themes, Mexico (unfortunately) always has something interesting to tell…
I am currently in the second year of my Masters in International Human Rights Law, and although sometimes my (very raw) readings suck the motivation out of me, I still believe that we can save the world. Along with meeting people and getting to know different cultures, my favourite thing on earth is cooking and my toxic trait is believing that the top chefs around the world should be grateful that I opted for the world of law and that I am not a professional threat to them. That being said, nothing satisfies me more than cooking for the people I love, and I will be happily ready to leave this world the day I own a Mexican restaurant and a pet giraffe.
If you are also passionate about sharing stories of what’s going on in the world from your perspective, the doors of our committee are more than open for you every Tuesday at 6 pm!
Micol Zubrickaite
Head of Magazine
Dear fellow UPF members,
My name is Micol Zubrickaite, and I am honoured to be the co-head of the Magazine Committee.
When asked where I am from, the best answer would be that I am European, as I grew up surrounded by Lithuanian, Italian and Belgian cultures. I can now also add Sweden to my list! I came to Lund for my Bachelor’s degree in Development Studies. Since I fell in love with the city, I have decided to stay longer for the Master’s degree in Disaster Risk Management and Climate Change Adaptation.
From a young age, I have been curious about global affairs, how people live and being captured by well-told stories. These passions led me to choose the academic path through the development angle. However, The Perspective Magazine has allowed me to stay connected with my love for storytelling.
If you are also interested in sharing stories and analysing current foreign affairs, you can join our weekly meetings! Otherwise, please enjoy reading the magazine!
