Proposals are invited for twenty-minute papers (in English or Irish) on any aspect of eighteenth-century Ireland, including its history, literature, language, and culture. There is no specific conference theme, but given the location in Cork in the year of the 300th anniversary of the Jacobite rising of 1715, proposals for papers and panels on the following topics will be particularly welcome: eighteenth-century Cork; Jacobitism and its legacy; Gaelic poetry in Munster in the eighteenth century.
Proposals should be submitted by e-mail to Clíona Ó Gallchoir (c.gallchoir@ucc.ie) before Monday 20 April 2015. Proposals should include: name, institutional affiliation, paper title, and a 250-word abstract. Prospective speakers will be notified of a decision by Monday 4 May 2015.
