Exploring the human genius for peace; charting the violence that stifles it
Following the release of our issue on Indigenous societies, The Irenaut will dedicate its next edition to the Palestinian people.
In the face of occupation, oppression, and genocidal intent, the Palestinian story is not only one of suffering—it is also one of resilience, creativity, and the pursuit of life amid devastation. From poetry and music to community care and steadfast resistance, the Palestinian people continue to cultivate beauty and meaning where others have sought to erase them.
We invite writers, poets, scholars, journalists, thinkers, and artists of all disciplines to contribute pieces that embody the Palestinian experience—its struggles and its enduring capacity for hope, creation, and collective flourishing.
Let this issue be both an act of remembrance and a celebration of life; a space to honour the voices and visions that persist, even under siege.
How to make a submission:
While the Palestinian people are the special focus of this issue, submissions on other topics will be considered on their own merits. The closing date for submitting your full contribution is 30th November 2025. Please address any queries to Mark-Alec or Nick at [email protected].
For a fuller account of our guiding concepts, read the essay “Searching for an irenic force” here. We publish on our own website and on Cairn.info, Cairn International, and Cairn-mundo.
The Irenaut is sponsored by Cadenza Academic Translations.
