Lucia Joyce: Perspectives
Saturday, 13 April 2019, 2 – 6:45pm 
An event to celebrate the life of Lucia Joyce organised by the School of English.
The figure of Lucia Joyce has gained significant public attention in the past decade, yet there has never been an event solely dedicated to her. “Lucia Joyce: Perspectives” offers a unique, interdisciplinary and collaborative programme of academics, psychotherapists, authors, dancers, playwrights, and film-makers to curate a multifaceted view into the history of Joyce’s daughter.
Contributors include Lloyd (Meadhbh) Huston (Oxford), Raphael Montague (Dublin-based psychotherapist), Dr Siobh´an Purcell, Dr Deirdre Mulrooney (dance historian), Prof Finn Fordham (Royal Holloway), Dr Caoileann Curry-Thompson (theatre-maker and playwright), Úna Kavanagh (award winning actor), Dr. Alex Pheby (author of Lucia, Galley Beggar Press 2018), Áine Stapleton (filmmaker and dance-maker).
The event is proudly supported by Trinity's School of English and the Trinity Long Room Hub. Information regarding the schedule and speakers can be found here and tickets can be purchased online or at the door on the day of the event.
