Each year, the Trinity Long Room Hub is home to over 40 early career researchers who come from a range of disciplines across our Arts and Humanities partner schools.

As part of the Hub’s objective of building a culture of publicly engaged scholarship, the poster project has been going from strength to strength each year, with a diversity of topics displayed in this provocative form.

On 28 May 2025, 16 PhD candidates and postdocs presented the work they have been carrying out over a number of months to represent their core thesis in a visual format.

From the Irish involvement in the transatlantic slave trade to questions of wealth in Late Medieval Verse, the posters showcased how these scholars are addressing major topics of contemporary relevance.   

Commenting on how this creative process benefited them, the researchers said that they felt this was an effective way to introduce their topics to public audiences and that it helped them to reflect back on their thesis.
