At the Arts and Humanities Research Festival (25-29 Sept) there will be an opportunity to hear about four fascinating areas of research taking place across our School. First up on Tuesday, Zohar Hadromi-Allouche presents ‘From the Bible to the Beatles’ a look at the Qur’an and modern Yiddish poetry. On Wednesday the programme features Linda Hogan, Professor of Ecumenics, speaking on ‘Securing Human Rights in the Anthropocene – the role of religion’. Brendan Browne shares his ‘Burn/t Out’ project highlighting the testimonies of people displaced during the Troubles. And finally on Wednesday evening there is a book launch and discussion of David Shepherd’s new publication, ‘King David, Innocent Blood and Bloodguilt’. Please note the book launch is sold out. There is no need to book for the others, simply turn up and enjoy! All events are in the Trinity Long Room Hub. Follow the link for the AHFest programme and times.

Join us on Wednesday, September 27th, 7-8:30pm in the Trinity Long Room Hub. Free Event but booking required for attendence (Link here). While the figure of David endures in popular culture thanks to his bloody triumph over Goliath, a new study suggests that the animating impulse and primary theme of his ancient story is in fact the problem of ‘innocent blood’. Join chair Neville Cox (Law, TCD) and the author, David Shepherd (Loyola Institute, TCD) along with Ruth Karras (History, TCD), Michael Kirwan (Theology/Director of Loyola Institute, TCD) and Bridget Martin (Classics, UCD) for a discussion of this ancient interrogation of the perennial problem of violence from the perspectives of biblical studies, ethics, classics, religion/theology, and medieval history.

Join us for what promises to be a stimulating symposium that celebrates the art of stained glass. Explore the rich history of stained glass and its significance in Ireland and beyond. Conference Sold Out.
