FEMINIST
As sampled by Beyonce in Flawless, a feminist is a person
who “believes in the social, political and economic equality
of the sexes” - if you agree, then the Feminist Society is the
place for you! UCC Feminist Society (or Femsoc, as you
will hear us called!) fights for gender equality on campus
and beyond. We are a fully inclusive society and welcome
people of any gender, gender identity, sexuality, ethnicity
and religion. We hold events every Tuesday night - these
vary from fun socials to serious workshops. Last year, we
held debates on Taylor Swift,

had workshops on sexual health and held a large conference
with some of the greatest feminists Ireland has to offer. We
also love to campaign and welcome ideas from all of our
membership - last year, we rose above online abuse and
fought to ensure that UCC Students Union would campaign
to repeal the 8th amendment. We had an incredible year
last year; we were named the Best Small Society in UCC
and we represented the university at the national BICS
awards. This year is going to be even better so sign up and
get involved!

FERMENTATION
Our goal is to meet others who are interested in learning more
about the history of fermentation, the folklore, but also the
science behind it. As a new society, we are very flexible and
open to your ideas too! So, do you want to have a piece of the
pie? Then come and join us. Last year we organised an Irish
cheese-and-wine paired tasting, we visited craft breweries,
tested the skills of our members in pub quiz events, hosted an
expert speaker on the early history of Irish beer and we held
a homebrewing workshop. This year we want to make it even
more exciting! We would like to visit more local (artisan and

so artisan) businesses that use fermentation to produce their
products, ranging from kombucha to cheese and coffee. We
are planning to hold events such as talks from expert guest
speakers, guided tastings, industry tours, and more hands-on
workshops! Or what about a society competition for best home
fermented products!? There is so much to be discovered about
fermentation in Ireland and the deep roots of food tradition are
well suited for it! So if you have a sparkling interest for food,
its transformation, or only even in the pleasure of consuming
it, then come and join us for some fun and tasty moments.
