Scientific Programme For Summer School
St. Patrick’s College, University of Maynooth
27th – 31st July 2022
Programme
The School begins on Wednesday 27th July at 5 pm with welcome and introductions, followed by the first of 4 daily lectures. Two of these will be presentations by Irish Group Analysts, and 2 by colleagues from other European countries. There will be time for general discussion of the lecture themes. The Irish Group Analysts will include references to local culture. A welcome reception is held on Wednesday evening to meet old friends, and make new ones.
The remainder of the week features a mixture of small groups, large groups and supervision groups. We will also have some short pop up presentations interspersed.
We finish earlier on Friday afternoon, so attendees can relax on campus, in the nearby village, or taking the short journey into Dublin City. Weather permitting, a barbecue is planned for Saturday evening, and being Ireland, expect to see musicians and storytellers. The summer school will end on Sunday at 1pm.
We hope that some of you might be able to extend your stay, to enjoy our local scenery, art galleries, or museums.
Speakers
Jane Clarke
Jane Clarke is an Irish Group Analyst and highly acclaimed poet. Her two poetry collections The River and When The Tree Falls (Bloodaxe Books 2015 & 2019) ‘bear witness to the rhythms of birth and death, celebration and mourning, endurance and regrowth’. Fellow poet Paula Meehan has said of her “(Her) poems burn with the ferocity of their intent in supple and profound music… There’s a visionary at work here, a shaper and shifter, moving us in language that is plain, exact and true”. Jane was awarded an Arts Council of Ireland Literature Bursary Award 2021 for the completion of her third collection.
