The theme of the symposium will examine people, placemaking, and identity by presenting research being carried out across various disciplines. The word ‘vernacularities’ has been chosen as an inclusive term to embrace research across cultures and heritage which are rooted in Ulster.The symposium will showcase research currently being carried out by postgraduates and early career researchers. It is intended that this will be both a platform for research to be disseminated, and a forum for museum, arts, and broadcasting representatives to find prospective collaboration and partnership opportunities.The interdisciplinary symposium will feature traditional academical presentations as well as examples of creative practice and performance. Keynote speakers with experience in literature, broadcasting, and facilitating researchers and practitioners in museums will provide a framework for the days’ events.The keynote speakers on day one are:John Wilson Foster, essayist and literary critic, cultural historian, and playwright.Shirin Murphy, Heritage Officer at Carrickfergus MuseumThe keynotes will examine vernacular literature, and address ways in which researchers can collaborate with the local museum sector to create audiences in these sectors.There will be an evening event on day one at Academy Restaurant giving an opportunity for researchers to showcase practice and performance.
