It will include a keynote address by Professor Colin Graham, a plenary Q&A/ reading with Dr Miriam Gamble, and public readings by: Dr Leontia Flynn, Professor Nick Laird, Dr Padraig Regan (Saturday March 2nd), Jessica Traynor, Susannah Dickey, and Michael Naughton Shanks (Sunday March 3rd).

Full conference programme available on our website. Separate registration available for public events.
