We are pleased to feature Fran Brearton, Professor of English at Queen’s University Belfast, as our Memorial Lecturer. Information about her lecture is forthcoming.
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.
Up-to-date information about the conference plans will be posted on this page on our Society’s website.
There are spaces remaining in each of our Peer Seminars (information about those seminars may be found on our website’s Peer Seminars page. Participants may register for their chosen seminar simply by sending an email to tseliotsociety@gmail.com with the subject line “Peer Seminar”) by Monday, 2 June, though the seminars do have a size limit and are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. When each of the seminars closes, we’ll post that information on this page and on the Peer Seminars Page.
Accommodations: Conference lodging is available at Printing House Square at a special conference rate. All necessary booking information is available here. Book now to take advantage of the special conference rate, safe in the knowledge that full refunds are available up to 72 hours before your arrival date.
If you have any problems completing your registration, please contact us at tseliotsociety@gmail.com.
Note, too: Additional lodging options are available at Trinity, but the special Eliot Society rate does not apply to these. Other accommodations may be found elsewhere in Dublin as well, though in the summertime they can be difficult to secure without plenty of advance notice, as well as pricy.
We are looking forward to seeing you in Dublin!
