Gairm Scoile - Call For Papers
The Irish History Students’ Association is pleased to announce the Call For Papers / Gairm Scoile for its Annual Conference, which will take place in NUI Galway from 19–21 February, 2016.
Proposals are invited for papers (in English or Irish) from both undergraduates and postgraduates in Ireland, on any historical topic or period and from those studying Irish history abroad. Abstracts of no more than 250 words for 20 minute research papers (approx. 2,500–3,000 words in length) should be submitted, along with a short personal biography of no more than 100 words.
Poster presentations are also invited. Posters should be A0 in size and may encompass
any style or theme, similar to the criteria for written papers. Presenters should be prepared to speak for up to 10 minutes regarding their posters, with or without an accompanying short
paper. Further details will be provided on request by emailing
ihsa2016@gmail.com
As usual there is no specific conference theme. However, given the various commemorative events which are expected to take place on the island of Ireland in 2016, papers are also invited on (but certainly not limited to) issues which fall broadly within the theme of the Decade of Centenaries (1912-1923).
Following an extension all proposals should now be submitted by email to ihsa2016@gmail.com no later than Tuesday 19 January, 2016. Abstracts and biographies should be submitted in the form of a word document attached to the email and should include: Full Name, Institutional Affiliation (if any), and Paper/Poster Title.
Please spread the word by printing these PDFs, CFP and GS, and putting them on any relevant notice boards in your educational institution, thankyou.
