Funding awarded for a three year literary Project,“Inconvenient Truths: Cultural Practices of Silence in Contemporary Irish Fiction”
15 Feb 2018
School of English’s Eibhear Walshe is part of an international team, headed by Teresa Caneda-Cabrera of the Universidade de Vigo in Spain that has just been awarded funding for a three year literary Project,“Inconvenient Truths: Cultural Practices of Silence in Contemporary Irish Fiction” . This project is funded by the Spanish Agency for Research (AEI) and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
Contemporary Irish Writers like Emma Donoghue are the focus for this study, where fiction and poetry find ways of articulating silenced stories or unrecorded truths from the Irish past. The first meeting of the project will take place at the AEDEI Conference, Spanish Association of Irish Studies in May 2018
