We have planned four days of seminars, panels, meals, receptions, and other opportunities for new discoveries and stimulating conversation. We will gather in the Trinity Long Room Hub on Wednesday, July 2. Peer Seminars will be held in nearby meeting rooms in the morning; in the afternoon we’ll meet in the Long Room Hub’s Neill Theatre for panels and for the Memorial Lecture. Thursday’s, Friday’s, and Saturday’s events will take place primarily in the Long Room Hub as well, and we have some exciting additional events planned, all included with your registration:
* A reception following the Memorial Lecture, sponsored by UNESCO, at the Pearse Street Library;
* on Thursday, a performance of Sweeney Agonistes at the Samuel Beckett Theatre, produced by Nick Johnson of Trinity’s Drama Department;
* Eliot Aloud, likely at a local pub on Thursday;
* a formal three-course dinner in one of Trinity’s exclusive dining halls on Friday evening;
* and on Saturday, a poetry reading and discussion featuring four notable poets: John F. Deane, Gustav Parker Hibbett, Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin, and Jessica Traynor.
