Papers and Panels

Papers within the fields of Irish culture, literature, history, sociology, art and politics are invited. As of 1 April the following six panels
have been planned, but others may be suggested until 1 June:

1. Ireland and Europe in the 20th century: History and politics
(organised in collaboration with the Jean Monnet Centre)

2. Church, state and religion in contemporary Ireland

3. Irish writing in an international context

4. Celtic connections: Cultural interchanges between Ireland and Scotland

The conference will be organised into a number of parallel sessions according to the numbers and interests of the participants. We are
planning to accommodate about 100 participants, and we are prepared to run enough parallel sessions to give space to all quality papers. The conference will be open to papers that do not fit into a proposed theme.
