Review of Irish Studies in Europe (RISE) is an international, open-access, peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary journal that publishes articles and reviews within the field of Irish Studies. We are dedicated to the publication of new and innovative research within and between the broad range of disciplines and areas engaged with Irish Studies. RISE publishes both themed multidisciplinary issues (with contributions from researchers in specific disciplines) and non-themed issues for which interdisciplinary research work is particularly welcome. RISE has two publications per year, one in Spring and one in Winter. Submissions for non-themed issues and proposals for themed-issues should be forwarded to rise@efacis.eu. Proposals for review articles (maximum 2000 words) should be forwarded to our Reviews Editor, Prof. Sylvie Mikowski, at risereviews@efacis.eu.
While English is the primary language of the journal, we do accept articles submitted in the Irish language for potential publication. However, if accepted, these articles can only be published with a summary provided in English to ensure research work is accessible to as broad a readership as possible.

Vol. 7 No. 1 (2024): Remapping Irish Literary and Cultural Landscapes in the Mid-Twentieth Century
This themed issue of RISE seeks to remap the Irish literary and cultural landscapes in the middle decades of the twentieth century. It defines this period as from the 1930s to the 1970s — roughly coinciding with the conservative years of ‘de Valera’s Ireland’, starting from the ratification of Bunreacht na hÉireann in 1937 supervised by de Valera through Seán Lemass’ programmes of economic expansion which led to Ireland’s European Economic Community membership in 1973. It understands literary and cultural landscapes in the broadest terms: horizontally as a geographic space with borders real and imagined; vertically as a space where high and low cultures clash and commingle. This issue includes six essays by contributors based across the globe. They show us the various forms of border-crossing — geographic, linguistic, generic — that contribute to a fuller map of Irish literature and culture in the mid-twentieth century.
