Our inaugural Summer Seminar Series featured scholars from several different Irish universities who presented their work in July and August 2021. Due to COVID-19, all seminars were held via Zoom.
The series followed on from our initial call for interest in our research network, which received over 30 expressions of interest from researchers based in 12 universities. Since then, DRAOI’s membership has grown significantly, and we look forward to welcoming discourse researchers for another successful seminar series in 2022.
The schedule of presenters for the 2021 Summer Seminar Series can be found below.
