About the Journal

From a throwaway comment in the first meeting of the 2023/2024 History Society's committee, to the glossy set of essays you see below- the UCC Student History Journal has been nothing short of a grand Odessey. Truly, this publication has been an incredible labour of love- from all parties involved.

That being said, I would like to firstly thank each and every individual who put forward a submission. Thank you for sharing your intellect, your passions, and your vast amounts of knowledge. Without you, this publication would be entirely blank!

Secondly, I'd like to thank my fellow committee members for sharing their time and their ideas. To Daniel, for fostering this absract notion into a tangible being. To Jason for being the calm amoungst squabbling History Society members. To Donal, for consistently lending an ear at any time of day (or night!!). Finally, a big thank you to Becky, who doesn't need me to tell her how truly subperb she is!

Lastly, I'd like to thank you, dear reader. Without anyone to pick up our work, there would be little point in this publications existence.
