Reaching the pinnacle of the 1916-2016 centenary commemorations, questions of gender, women and femininity intersected with the idea of Irishness have never been so pivotal.

– Women in politics
– Women within education
– Representations of women in literature, drama, film, art, and culture
– Migration
– Health and medicine
– Sexuality
– Women and sport
– Nationalism and religion
– Women north and south of the border

Panel proposals are also welcome. Abstracts (up to 250 words) + short bio should be sent to womenandirishness@gmail.com on or before Friday 24th February 2017 at 5 pm.
