The symposium is organised by CISA in collaboration with European Cultural Studies and the Department of Political Science and will be held at Anatomisk Auditorium Bldg. 232, auditorium 115.

CISA will be the first centre for Irish Studies in the Nordic countries, so this is an important event for Irish Studies in Europe and the Nordic countries in particular.

Prospective participants who want the organisers to help them find accommodation in Aarhus may contact me, i.e. Michael Böss (Dept. of English) after September 10 (engmb@hum.au.dk or michael.boss@teliamail.dk).

A warm welcome to all!
