Participants in the AHSS Winter School will be able to choose options from a menu of 20 sessions looking at 'Pandemics: Past, Present, Future', to explore and debate what our world may look, sound, smell and feel like beyond COVID-19.

The Seamus Heaney Centre at Queen’s presents a seminar illustrated with poetry and prose readings which will reflect on Belfast, and imagines a future city, through its literature. Themes which will be explored include: other cities/‘every-city’ in literature, the ‘stuff’ of cities - architecture, infrastructure, citizens, nature, sensory elements (sound/smell/lights of sight), and the role of history and memory; considering how could these influence literary form.
