UCC Student History Journal Vol 2 Issue 1

Tales of Justice

Abstract

 Volume 2, Issue 1 of the UCC Student History Journal was officially launched on the eve of the 20th of November, 2024. In his address, Co-Editor in Chief Daniel O’ Connell reflected on the diverse range of student research featured in the journal and the future of the publication to continue as a platform for students of all backgrounds to engage in historical discourse. In her address, Chairperson Becky Bourke offered immense praise to the editorial team and contributors to the journal. Chairperson Bourke also provided a few words in honour of the legacy of the recently passed Mr. Gabriel Doherty, one of UCC’s and the wider community of Cork’s most beloved historians. 

Ultimately, this edition displays the UCC History Society’s dedication to reflection and innovation. Volume 2, Issue 1 is the first edition to feature a distinct theme for its submissions, “Tales of Justice.” More precisely, (in)justice, law, and the struggle for equality. This edition features a broad range of articles which revolve around the aforementioned theme and our first article published in the Irish language. The journal’s editorial team and the UCC History Society remain excited for the release of the next instalment of Volume 2 next year.
