On 28 May the Living Well with the Dead Research Collective hosted a workshop with Nina Lykke, Professor Emerita of Gender Studies, Linköping University, Sweden and co-founder of the International Network for Queer Death Studies.
This workshop forms part of the project Caring for and about university legacy medical collections | University College Cork that aims to bring feminist and decolonial ideas about care and decolonisation of the university into conversation with legal and bioethical debates about the dead, and medical museum debates about the pedagogical and research potentials of legacy collections. The project is supported through the Collective Social Futures Interdisciplinary Research Fund.
The workshop was chaired by Nuala Finnegan, Department of Spanish, Portuguese and Latin American Studies and the Dean of Undergraduate and Postgraduate Studies, and with responses from Róisín O’Gorman, Department of Theatre, Mary Donnelly, School of Law, Barra O’Donnabhain, Department of Archaeology, and Órla O’Donovan, School of Applied Social Studies.
