Banbha i gcéin The 2014 joint ACIS-CAIS/ACEI conference at UCD is an opportunity for scholars from both sides of the Atlantic with a common interest in Ireland’s history, heritage, culture and society to meet and establish new intellectual networks. The conference theme invites papers that set out to examine where Ireland fits into wider cultural, socio-economic and historical patterns. Is Ireland unique – and if so, in what way? Can Ireland be seen as pioneering cultural/historical trends, or as a laggard? Some contributions may be explicitly comparative, but others may simply suggest similarities with or differences from other literary or historical movements. We welcome papers on all aspects of Irish studies – history, social sciences, literature, language, culture, and the creative and performing arts. Individual papers and panel submissions are welcome.
