Imaginative Literature and Social Trust

"Imaginative Literature and Social Trust, 1990-2025" is an IRC-funded project which takes imaginative literature as its primary archive to study social trust.

Had a great time at the Dis/Trusting the Institutions of Literature conference at UCD - a fantastic series of panels on the institutional turn in literary studies.

Here I am chatting away about grammar schools, disciplinary English Literature, and the British constitution.
