Interested in memory studies and Ireland? Join the AIAS & CISA Conference on ‘Politics and Narrative in Ireland’s Decade of Commemorations’ on 23-24 October 2018. The two-day international and multidisciplinary conference is open to all and free of charge.

The conference brings together experts in history, film, theatre, classical reception, heritage management, gender studies, politics, and memory studies to examine the impact and significance of events in Ireland during the current decade of centenaries (2012-2022), which mark the anniversaries of major changes in Irish history and society that took place between 1912 and 1922.

Their keynote speaker Emilie Pine - who is currently very active in the media with her new publication ‘Notes to Self’, a ground-breaking collection of essays on “off-limit” topics such as fertility, feminism, and sexual abuse - will open the conference with a talk on 'The Memory Marketplace: Gender, Witnessing and Performance’.
