Social & Political Review Trinity College Dublin SUPPORTERS INFORMATION
WELCOME The Trinity Social and Political Review is an academic research journal dedicated to publishing the best original undergraduate research and writing in the fields of social and political science. It is produced and published by undergraduate students of Trinity College, drawn from a wide variety of disciplines, including Political Science, Sociology, Philosophy, Economics and Law. Now in our twentieth year, the Social and Political Review has long served as a forum for publishing original and insightful reflections by students on critical issues in society and politics. The publication offers undergraduates a rare opportunity to be published in a highly respected academic journal. Each volume of the Social and Political Review showcases the outstanding calibre of academic achievement in Trinity College. Past editions are regularly referred to by students seeking examples of exceptional writing and research in the social and political sciences. The content of each journal spans a wide range of areas, including Irish politics, international affairs, Europe, social issues and political theory. This year, we are celebrating our twentieth anniversary edition with the special sub-heading of Twenty Years of Change under which we hope to elicit submissions reflecting in particular on the monumental social and political changes which have taken place in Ireland and the wider world in the past two decades. We hope you will join us in marking this special milestone in student publishing by considering some of the ways you can support the Social and Political Review.
