The 9th annual doctoral seminar

Doctoral Students & Experts on Inchgoill Island

The Irish Centre for Human Rights held its Annual Doctoral Seminar from April 30^th to May 4^th 2012. During the week our four visiting experts gave morning presentations on a range of topics, from caste and descent based discrimination, to reform of the UN treaty body system. This year’s experts were Professor Michael O'Flaherty (Human Rights Law Centre, University of Nottingham), Professor Suzannah Linton (Bangor University, Wales), Dr. David Keane (Middlesex University, London), and Professor Koen De Feyter (University of Antwerp, Netherlands).

In the afternoons PhD candidates from the Centre as well as other institutions presented an area of their research to the experts and their peers, receiving feedback and comments. In the middle of the week a short trip was planned to Inchgoill Island on nearby Lough Corrib. Fortunately the sun was shining as the seminar’s participants were taken on a guided walking tour, taking in St. Patrick’s monastic site dating back to the 5th century amongst other historic landmarks.

Our thanks go to all the visiting experts and the supervisors who travelled to meet with and support their students over the week, as well as to Helen McDermott and Alexis Bushnell for organising the event.
