Report on ADEFFI Postgraduate Symposium 2010

Saturday April 10th, Trinity College Dublin



This year’s postgraduate event took place in Trinity College Dublin on Saturday April 10th. Nine papers were presented, in three non-themed panels. These papers came from postgraduates working on French and Francophone Literature, Textual & Visual Studies, Visual Arts, Linguistics and History. The selection was therefore representative of the wide variety of research interests amongst the postgraduate community in French and Francophone Studies in Ireland. There was a good attendance on the day and stimulating discussions followed each panel. The event concluded with a round table that addressed key concerns for postgraduates in the finishing stages of their doctoral theses in French and Francophone Studies, such as the current jobs market and opportunities for further research.

On behalf of all participants and delegates at the symposium, I would like to thank ADEFFI for funding and supporting this annual event, since it provides an excellent opportunity for postgraduates based in institutions throughout Ireland to come together both to present their work and maintain a vital French and Francophone Studies postgraduate community here.     
   

Following two successful ADEFFI Postgraduate Study Days in Dublin, ADEFFI now looks forward to its 2011 postgraduate event, details of which will be announced in December 2010.
