Department of English Undergraduate Journal Enhancement Initiative

About this initiative

The Department of English Undergraduate Journal Enhancement Initiative was built on an existing Teaching and Learning initiative, a student-run undergraduate research journal. The need for the Initiative is best explained in relation to the journal and the principal ways that it benefits students. DoubleSpace was established by Dr Laird in the academic year 2021/22. This online research journal showcases the academic excellence of students enrolled on undergraduate English modules in UCC. The journal is comprised of undergraduate essay work that wins or is highly recommended in the Department’s four annual awards: Undergraduate Awards, Patricia Coughlan Award, Louise Clancy Memorial Prize, and Eoin Murray Memorial Prize. The journal also includes essays by UCC English students that have been placed in the Global Undergraduate Awards.
