Preliminary Call for Papers

The 2022 Annual Conference of the Eighteenth-Century Ireland Society/An Cumann Éire san Ochtú Céad Déag is scheduled to take place as an in-person event in University College Cork, 17- 18 June. We will be guided by public health requirements and by UCC institutional policies on Covid-19, and we may therefore need to adapt the format closer to the conference date.

Proposals are invited for twenty-minute papers (in English or Irish) on any aspect of eighteenth- century Ireland, including its history, literature, language, and culture. The Eighteenth-Century Ireland Society is a multidisciplinary society, and we welcome papers from all disciplines, as well as interdisciplinary and comparative research. We particularly encourage early career scholars to submit proposals, as well as those working with new methodological and theoretical perspectives.

Proposals should be submitted by e-mail to Clíona Ó Gallchoir (c.gallchoir@ucc.ie) before Friday 15 April 2022. Proposals should include: name, institutional affiliation, paper title, and a 250-word abstract. Prospective speakers will be notified of a decision by Monday 3 May 2022.

Cuirfear fáilte ar leith roimh pháipéir agus/nó roimh phainéil iomlána i nGaeilge ar ghné ar bith de shaol agus de shaíocht na Gaeilge san Ochtú Céad Déag. Iarrtar ar dhaoine ar mhaith leo páipéar 20 nóiméad a léamh, teideal an pháipéir mar aon le hachoimre ghairid (250 focal) a sheoladh chuig Máire Ní Íceadha (mniiceadha@ucc.ie). Iarrtar orthu siúd a bhfuil spéis acu painéal a eagrú ainmneacha na gcainteoirí, na n-institiúidí lena mbaineann siad, teidil na bpáipéar agus achoimrí mar aon le hainm agus sonraí teagmhála an chathaoirligh a bheith san áireamh. Cuirfear scéala chuig cainteoirí roimh an Luan an 3 Bealtaine 2022.

The conference is held in association with the School of English and Digital Humanities, UCC and Roinn na Nua-Ghaeilge, UCC.
