The Centre, together with Poetry Ireland hosted a poetry reading event as part of the Literature and Resistance series. Nidhi Zak/Aria Eipe and Anthony Anaxagorou read from their work, and discussed how ideas of resistance inform and emerge from their writing. The event was chaired by Seán Hewitt.

In the autumn of 2022, Prof Martha A. Fineman offered a series of online lectures on the topic of vulnerability to members of the Centre and to a broader scholarly audience. The four lectures were recorded and could be viewed here.

The panel discussion on 15 February 2022 marked the start of a new multiannual discussion series ‘Literature and Resistance.’
