Welcome
Under the title ‘Cultural Memory and Irish Identity’, the 25th AEDEI International Conference, organized by the Spanish Association for Irish Studies (AEDEI) and the Research Group ‘Women, Literature and Society’ (HUM-874) based at the University of Almería (Spain), aims to offer a critical platform to explore how cultural memory functions in shaping Irish identity across temporal, spatial, and disciplinary boundaries with the purpose of enriching Irish Studies scholarship.
Keynote speakers include Declan Kiberd, Lia Mills, Martin Doyle, Zelie Asava, Jim Culleton and Conor Montague. As part of its cultural programme, the conference will feature two theatrical performances, a flamenco show and a guided tour to discover Almería and its Alcazana, one of the largest surviving Moorish fortresses in Spain.
The conference will take place in Almería, May 26-28, 2027. Reception of proposals is now open and will close on January 11, 2027. See and download the CFP in this site or click here for more information.
