Welcome!

I am in the process of organising a monthly postgraduate seminar/reading group to discuss contemporary currents in Literature and criticism, to start in October in Mary Immaculate College, Limerick. The seminar would be open to all postgrad students and staff and each month we would discuss a pre-circulated reading on one of the concepts. The idea of the group is to help familiarise ourselves with current thought and open up discussion. 

Some of the areas I would like to look at over the course of the year are:

Queer and/or gender Theory

Eco Criticism 

Digitialism / archiving /networking 

Temporal spaces and time 

Post postmodernism 

Narrative voices

Urban complexities

Ethics and Authenticities

Neo victorianism 

Neo science fiction

Young adult Fiction 

If any of you have any recommended readings or areas you are interested in I would appreciate any suggestions.
