#Archivingthe8th AEL SWAN PGR seminar series with Dr Emily Mark-Fitzgerald (UCD)
Dr Emily Mark-FitzGerald (School of Art History and Cultural Policy, University College Dublin) spoke about her work with colleagues across institutions during and immediately after the referendum on the 8th Amendment in the Republic of Ireland 2018.
This informal lunch event on 10th April 2019 discussed how academics in disciplines that aren't seen as 'political', e.g., those working within languages, literature, or arts disciplines, practise activism or try to promote social and political change through their research choices or use of their academic position.
#Archivingthe8th is a project which seeks to support and coordinate efforts to archive, collect, and interpret the referendum, including political material, organisational records, websites and digital material, photography, visual and material culture, and oral histories.
