Continuing Irish Studies in Canada
continuer les etudes irlandaises au canada
This is the first issue of the Canadian Journal of Irish Studies / Revue canadienne
d'etudes irlandaises to be edited from the University of Alberta.
We shall strive to uphold the high standards set by Michael
Keneally at Concordia University these past few years, but
no doubt readers will note some changes.
In addition to slight changes made to CJIS/RCEFs
design, we will be, for the time being, publishing the journal as a series of guest-edited special issues. The next issue will
be edited by the Culture of the Cities project, a major international research initiative with Canadian offices at York
and Concordia Universities. That will be followed by issues on the 19th century (edited by Julia Wright, who holds a
Canada Research Chair at Wilfred Laurier University) and on new perspectives in Irish-Canadian literature (edited by
Kevin James of the University of Guelph and Jason King of the National University of Ireland, Maynooth). Following these issues, we
hope to have installed a new editor, and will
resume publishing general issues.
There are many changes introduced by Prof. Keneally,
however, which we hope to continue. We shall strive to
make the journal as visual as
possible, in keeping with
important new trends in scholarship in Irish Studies. We
will also retain the "Profiles of Irish Canadians" feature.
And keeping with CJIS/RCEI tradition, we hope to
make the book review section as lively as possible. Jason
King will remain in charge of this from his post at NUI/
Maynooth, but we really want to encourage the membership to keep us aware of new publications in their field of
expertise.
We would also like to publish more articles in French, and will also welcome contributions in Irish.
We hope, in short, that CJIS/RCEI will remain an
important part of the scholarly life of Canada, in addition to taking part in the international conversation that is Irish
Studies. We hope also that you will let us know how we are
doing on this project.
Ceci est le premier numero de Canadian Journal of Irish Studies / Repue canadienne
d*etudes irlandaises a etre editee par l'University of Alberta.
Nous nous efforcerons de maintenir le niveau de qualite de
ces dernieres annees que Michael Keneally de l'Universite
Concordia a insuffle a la revue. II est toutefois certain que
les lecteurs noteront des changements.
En ajout aux changements mineurs de la mise en forme
de CJIS/RCEI, nous publierons pour le moment la revue
sous la forme de numeros speciaux edites par un invite de
marque. Le prochain numero sera edite par le pro jet Culture
des Cites, une initiative de recherche internationale majeure
qui a des bureaux dans les universites canadiennes de York
et de Concordia. II sera suivi par des numeros sur le 19e
siecle (edite par Julia Wright, qui tient une chaire canadienne
de recherche au Wilfried Laurier University) et sur les
nouvelles perspectives de la litterature canadienne-irlandaise
(edite par Kevin James de l'Universite de Guelph et Jason
King du National University of Ireland / Maynooth). Pour
la suite des evenements, nous esperons qu'un nouvel editeur
sera en place
et renouera avec l'edition de numeros
generiques.
Beaucoup de changements ont ete apportes par le
professeur Keneally que nous esperons cependant
poursuivre. Nous nous efforcerons de rendre la revue aussi
visuelle que possible et de continuer l'exploration de
nouvelles approches academiques aux Etudes Irlandaises.
Nous reprendrons aussi le concept des ? Profils de
Canadiens irlandais ?.
En respect aussi avec la tradition CJIS/RCEI, nous
tenterons de rendre la section des recensions aussi vivante
que possible. Jason King restera en charge de cela depuis
son poste a
NUI/Maynooth, mais nous voulons vraiment
encourager les adherents a nous tenir au courant des
nouvelles publications dans leur domaine d'expertise.
Nous aimerions aussi publier plus d'articles en francais
et accueillir aussi des contributions en gaelqiue irlandais.
Nous desirerions, pour faire plus court, que CJIS/RCEI reste, en
plus de sa position dans les discussions
Internationales sur les Etudes Irlandaises, un element
important de la vie scholastique canadienne. Nous esperons
aussi que vous nous ferez part de vos reactions dans cette
entreprise.
