Conference focusing on the specificities of pandemic experience in Ireland.

A Royal Irish Academy Working Group on Culture and Heritage one-day in-person event on Ireland and the Covid-19 pandemic. The discussions across the day will broadly focus on culture and society rather than policy debates or governmental matters. As an exercise in national self-understanding this event will be highly interdisciplinary with a focus on the specificities of pandemic experience in Ireland. Topics to be taken up range from:

• public health concerns

• remembrance practices to media

• journalism

• the impacts of the pandemic on everyday life.

Across the day there will be five panels comprised of three speakers each with a chair drawn from the membership of the Working Group. Each speaker will be allotted 20 minutes, followed by 10 minutes for q + a.
