New Crops, Old Fields: (Re)Imagining Irish Folklore

5th - 7th September 2013 Queen's University Belfast

This conference aims at exploring the rich traditions of Irish folklore, and looking at the various ways it is being, has been or indeed was, re-purposed and reinvented. We hope to bring together researchers at various stages of their careers, both professional and postgraduate, working on any and every aspect of the folklore of Ireland, its reappropriation and dissemination up to the present day or indeed the reuse of traditions. 

Confirmed keynote speaker:

Prof. Diarmuid Ó Giolláin (University of Notre-Dame).

Please submit proposals of 300 words and a short biography to newcrops@qub.ac.uk by 1st May 2013.
