Aigne Journal

About the Journal

Aigne (‘Mind’) is a peer-reviewed online postgraduate journal and falls under the auspices of the Graduate School of the College of Arts, Celtic Studies and Social Sciences at University College Cork. Aigne was founded in 2010 by postgraduate students of the College and regularly invites submissions from postgraduates and early career researchers, both at UCC and internationally. 

In keeping with the ethos of the College, Aigne encourages submissions that adopt an interdisciplinary perspective. The journal uses a double-blind peer-review process to ensure anonymity and quality of submissions.

The journal publishes an annual issue which is theme-based and open to postgraduates and early career researchers worldwide.

Aigne invites submissions in both the Irish and the English language. We are further looking for enthusiastic postgraduates who would like to get involved in the workings of the journal. If you are interested in becoming an editor, reviewer or proofreader for Aigne, please do not hesitate to contact us at aigne@ucc.ie.

Vol. 10 (2024): Encounters
Cover Image, Aigne 2024 (vol. 10)

Knowledge requires engagement, and to encounter someone or something risks change. Encounters initiate opportunities to meet, participate, and practise resilience or adaptation in the face of the unfamiliar or unknown. They may encourage a sense of belonging. Conversely, encounters may lead to rejection or silencing of new ideas, voices, objects, organisms, or experiences, to polarisation, to fear of the Other or to a desire to remain unaffected. They may be chance or intentional, confrontational or interactive, comfortable or unsettling. Encounters may span human and non-human terrains.

The goal of this issue is to present a collection of articles and other submissions that explore the theme of "Encounters" through a variety of thought-provoking and distinct perspectives.
