INTERNATIONAL INTRUTHS 2 SEMINAR: INTERDEPENDENCY AND VULNERABILITY IN CONTEMPORARY IRISH CULTURE: University of Galway, 21 Jan 2025

The seminar seeks to foreground the emergence of positive formulations of common interdependency and shared vulnerabilities which are seen as empowering responses to the fragility and precarity of the contemporary world. The focus will be on the discussion of works, methodologies and ideologies which situate resistance and positive transformation in the realm of individual relationships and the communal, generating a sense of attentiveness and responsiveness towards systemic fallibilities, social frailties and universal human needs.

A dedicated session will be held in memoriam of former project member, writer and UCC academic Eibhear Walshe, who sadly passed away in July 2024. Find more information here
