Samhain Festival of Research

The Irish World Academy is home to over 40 postgraduate research students, the vast majority of whom engage in PhD research. Some researchers are completing projects with traditional, text-based outputs while others are registered on the PhD in Arts Practice. While students on the PhD in Arts Practice produce text-based research outputs, their work specifically includes aspects of practice. The work of both groups of researchers reflects the whole range of expertise represented in the Academy and beyond. Once a year, the work of this exceptionally rich research community is presented in a festival known as Samhain. The 2017 Samhain festival will take place from Wednesday, November 6th to Friday, November 10th, inclusive. For further details, see the Irish World Academy website, www.irishworldacademy.ie
