Library's review
What is PULSE? Over ten years ago PULSE began. The call-for-work of PULSE: journal for anticolonial thought, expression, and activism, Issue 3 states that: "PULSE came together as an ad-hoc response to the lack of resources and support for issues that matter to us. Pulse is a new network of people,
PULSE 2014: We each have distinctive roots and unique stories. For this issue, self-idenitified Indigenous persons and/or people of colour (IPOC) were invited to share work in any medium inspired by this issue's theme: Roots, Soups, and Stories. We asked contributors to express a personal narrative abut putting down new roots, or nourishing old ones. What feeds your soul? What provides you warmth?

'The UVIC Students of Colour Collective is a group of self identified students of colour operating as an advocacy group out of the university of Victoria. We attempt to defy the mainstream and act from the margins placing issues of race, gender, and colonization, into an anti racist framework which builds our work, action, and political endeavours. Through PULSE and all of our work we seek to challenge and oppose systems of racism, ableism, classism, sexism, colonization, cissexism, and heterosexism. Our collective resistance manifests in fostering and maintaing an engaged and dynamic community.

This includes folks who identify as people of colour including all identities and backgrounds of sexuality, gender, ability, health, secioeconmic locations.

The collective decided to review PULSE for 2012. The theme "Place" was chosen as one that was effectively both open and relatable and carries a particular relevancy in navigating identity and resistance. In asking for submissions we were intentional in not narrowing the various contexts and meanings of the theme place, to invite varied and dynamic responses...'

Several amazing B&W magazine style issues full of articles, poems, and photography were published, then PULSE went dormant. PULSE was revived as a zine in 2011. Recent issues have the themes of Place (2012) and Awakening (2013). PULSE 2014: We each have distinctive roots and unique stories.
