Bookends Conference 2005



The Department of English, University College Cork will host a postgraduate conference on Wednesday 13 April . The aim of the conference is to promote research activity in the College and encourage interaction between postgraduates in the English Department.  The 13 papers cover diverse periods and topics ranging from medieval literature to modern writing.  

The conference consists of four sessions and two workshops.  The workshops will focus on two aspects of academic study: thesis writing and publication.  It is hoped that the workshop on thesis writing, which will be conducted by PhD students, will be especially useful for MA students who are currently researching their dissertation topics.  The conference papers engage with the broad themes of identity, gender, and place.  New research on the poetry of Michael Hartnett by Shirley O' Regan, and Kalene Kenefick's paper which examines the work of Una Troy, are particularly noteworthy.

The Conference takes place on Wednesday, 13 April, 10am-6pm, Room 1.32, O'Rahilly Building.
