SUMMARY:New Voices Conference 2014: A Multi-Disciplinary Postgraduate and Early Career Scholars Conference - 5th to 7th June\, 2014
DESCRIPTION:New Voices Conference 2014Multi-Disciplinary Postgraduate and Early Career Scholars Conference\n5th to 7th June\, 2014\nAfter the first New Voices conference in 1999\, P.J. Mathews published an edited collection of the speakers’articles\, New Voices in Irish Criticism. In the introduction\, Mathews notes the text “can be taken as a snapshotof the current state of Irish studies.” The collection of articles presented reflect the work of the Irish academyat the end of the twentieth century as well as Mathews’ and Declan Kiberd’s joint efforts to showcase not onlythe new voices in Irish criticism but also the ways in which those scholars were challenging the boundaries ofIrish criticism. In establishing this forum\, Mathews and Kiberd emphasized the necessity for young scholarswithin the Irish academy to interact with one another\, across universities and\, most importantly\, acrossdisciplines.More than ever it is important that early career scholars connect with their peers and future colleagues. Theacademic market is a challenging field\, especially for young scholars. This conference seeks to establish anintellectual exchange that will only strengthen in the years to come.In that vein\, National University of Ireland\, Galway will proudly host the 2014 New Voices conference. Weinvite papers from all departments and encourage collaborative papers\, new media\, and panel ideas. We alsoinvite paper proposals from early career scholars outside of Ireland who focus on Irish Studies. Theparticipants at the inaugural New Voices conference presented papers on far-reaching topics\, from theorizingthe novel to politics and revival. This year we seek papers that broaden what Irish Studies means\, reflecting onthe legacy of the New Voices conference and the themes and issues which continue to resonate in itssubsequent iterations.We welcome proposals for twenty-minute papers\, in English or in Irish\, from all disciplines in relation to Irishstudies. We especially invite submissions which broaden definitions and push scholarly boundaries.
