trs journal1
The new journal, founded by Giorgia O’Donoghue in partnership with Annie McCormack, both of whom are MA students in the Department of Theology and Religious Studies, aims to aid the exploration of the important interdisciplinary nature of the field of theology and religious studies.
It is my hope that this new journal can contribute to the intellectual community of an already flourishing department. I am particularly invested in encouraging new experimental ways of academic writing and approaching academic contributions. I am excited to hear from a broad range of creative and intellectual voices.
– Giorgia O’Donoghue, Masters’s Student in the Department of Theology and Religious Studies| Editor and Founder
The journal will be a place for experimental forms of academic writing that may not be found in traditional journals. It will encourage submissions from multiple disciplines, including but not limited to: Anthropology, Biblical Studies, Feminist Studies, History and Historical Criticism, Gender Studies, Literature, Music, Philosophy, Politics, Queer Studies, Sociology, The Arts and Theology
The student-run project seeks to encourage interested students to begin exploring what it would be like to go through a journal publishing process and established academics alike.
This is an exciting opportunity to offer students of many different fields an opportunity to enter the world of being published. Not only will it give voices to those students, but it will allow them to learn more about the academic publishing process.
– Annie McCormack | Masters’s Student in the Department of Theology and Religious Studies | Editor
In celebration of the first issue of the new journal, submissions on the themes of creation and beginnings will be especially encouraged. This prompt has often been the origin of many literary, artistic, philosophical, and theological masterpieces. Funded by the Department of Theology and Religious Studies, the journal will also be available in a select amount of print copies.
