Dublintellectual is delighted to announce the launch of the Uprising: Young Scholars & Artists in Dialogue event series which will showcase the work of postgraduate students and young artists, writers and musicians in Dublin. The first event will take place next Thursday 23rd Feb at 19:30 in The Generator, Smithfield.

The Uprising series will involve discussions on culture, common points in research and creative work, as well as practical issues facing emerging scholars and artists and will comprise 3-5 invited presenters, discussing their research or creative work and answering audience questions. Our aim is to provide a forum where scholarly and artistic contributors can present their work on their own terms, without the constraints of 'traditional' conference or gallery formats. We aspire to talks that go beyond prepared presentations and encourage direct dialogue between audiences and presenters. We feel that there is a need for postgraduate humanities students to gain skills and connections beyond the campus.
