Eile Project at 'Talking Towns' seminar, Centre for Irish Towns, UCD, Dublin, 03/03/22
Lunchtime seminar with Caroline Creamer (Maynooth University) and Killian Doherty (University of Edinburgh)
We will discuss some of the transdiscplinary methodoligies and practices that we have adopted in the Eile Project in border towns such as Belleek, Clones and Pettigo, as well as our research on counter-cartographies of community resistance to the border in the 1980s and 90’s.
Talking Towns is a new seminar series organised by UCD Centre for Irish Towns and UCD Earth Institute. The series aims to spark conversations about the challenges facing Irish towns, the opportunities they offer, and the role of research and policy in bringing about the revitalisation of towns in Ireland.
