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!
The Magazine Committee meets every Tuesday, 18-19 at the UPF Office.

Meet the Magazine Committee
Olivia Lindgren
Hello!
Balancing studies, student life, and everything in between, my UPF journey began when I, one sad September day, decided to walk into a Magazine Committee meeting (I was instantly sold).
My name is Olivia, and this year I am one of the co-heads of the Magazine Committee. Joining the Magazine Committee has been the perfect way to not only keep up my interest in writing and reading, but it also makes often theoretical topics accessible in a more down-to-earth way.
What more? I’m 21, from a town south of Stockholm, and I study law at Lund university. My fascination with politics goes back to childhood. I specifically remember stopping by at the local city hall after school where my mom was working. The certain tension coming from those rooms in which decisions were being made always intrigued me. My interest grew from local to global politics, and here I am, in the Association of Foreign Affairs.
Aside from UPF and studies, I’ve taken up knitting (two sweaters and counting!). That said, UPF and Magazine specifically have been the perfect place to combine both creativity and seriousness together. Come join us!
Filippo Fioretti Boccato
Hej everyone!
My name is Filippo, and I come from the North-East of Italy, a region that breaks away from the traditional Italian stereotype, with weather not too different from Skåne!
After nearly a decade studying China and Chinese, I came to Lund for the Master’s in Asian Studies. With a background in International Relations, Languages, and Cultural Mediation, I see communication and human contact as key to tackling today’s global challenges.
I am now Editor-in-Chief of The Perspective Magazine, UPF’s printed media, and a Board Member. In this role, I aim to curate thoughtful content, promote diverse voices, and keep the magazine a platform for critical discussion on international affairs.
In my free time, I enjoy photography, travelling to unusual places, and everything mechanical – from watches to cars.
