Join us in the Creative Zone, Boole Library, UCC, for a special literary evening on Thursday 8 October at 6pm, when acclaimed Irish writers Sara Baume and Caitríona Lally will be in conversation with Eimear Ryan. Admission is free, but please reserve your place.

The Digital Arts & Humanities Research Colloquium draws together the theoretical, conceptual, and practical strands of the wider digital humanities through the perspectives of invited speakers.

Dr Alan Gibbs delivered a keynote address, ‘Climate Change and the American Naturalist Novel’, at the ‘Nature in American Literary Naturalism’ symposium held in Bodø, Norway Sep 10th-11th. Drawing on Dr Gibbs’s research for a forthcoming book, the talk discussed ways in which the literary form of naturalism offers opportunities for authors struggling to encompass the enormity of climate change in novel form. Scholars from America, Canada, and across Europe were in attendance, and the trip was funded by the School of English and Digital Humanities, the College of Arts, Celtic Studies and Social Studies, and the Future Humanities Institute.
