I recently received the excellent news that the call for papers for Trowel Volume XII has been re-issued. The volume had stalled recently but with new editors, a new website and a new online format it looks like this unique student publication, celebrating its 21st birthday, will continue despite the current hard times.

As a past editor I will be very interested to see how the transition to online publication will work and whether the relatively recent book reviews and reflections sections will continue. The inclusion of the thesis lists on the websites re-instates a valuable function served by Trowel previous to financial and logistical problems that led to us dropping them for Volume X.

Trowel volume X can be downloaded or read here on Seandálaíocht.com and Volume XI can be purchased using this order form.
