Fabulous day at the Ulster Folk Museum celebrating 60 years of the Ulster Dialects collection. A grand selection of papers and superb renditions of Robert Huddleston's songs by the brilliant Grainne Milner-McLoone.
Looking forward to presenting a paper on female novelists who write in Ulster English and Ulster Scots at this conference. Tickets available here: https://t.co/wobGIRoPom
We were delighted to host the Irish Screen Studies Seminar on our Belfast campus this week.
We heard from some of the top screen studies & film researchers, discussed the bright future of film, and remembered the pioneering work of late Prof Martin McLoone.

Thank you all for the heartfelt tribute; your kindness has deeply touched us. Being invited to speak and sing in honor of my Dad was truly special. Your support ensures his legacy lives on, continuing his mission for social change. Martin McLoone, 1950-2023.
What an inspiring few days at the @IrishScreenStud seminar hosted by @UlsterUni this week. It's been incredible to witness the diverse range of ideas centered around Irish screen culture and its role in advocating for social justice—a lifelong passion of Dad’s.
So, next month - exactly 30 years after I graduated from the grungy old Art College in Belfast - I've been invited back to the shiny new state-of-the-art campus to take part in an event all about the importance of the local and rooted. I like this word 'vernacularities'...
We are closing the first day of the conference by remembering the important role of Martin McLoone in Irish Screen Studies. Professor John Hill is giving an in-depth keynote on McLoone’s leading ideas on nation as cultural identity - particularly what this means for Ireland.
Hill: “McLoone’s idea of nation has always been about re-imagination” which involves looking at how Ireland has encountered the “particular” and the “universal” through various media and “institutionalised imaginaries”
Great to meet up with @DeborahMWhite2 and @MarkThompStuff to discuss our June conference Ulster Veracularities and to share the fantastic Makkin Ulster Series we were involved in @ETriplevision

We are very saddened by the passing of Prof. Martin McLoone (University of Ulster): he attended our festival in 2017 giving a brilliant masterclass on Irish cinema and the Troubles. A great scholar and a delightful person, he will be deeply missed.
Today is the big day! If you can't join us in person, we are also live-streaming the event! Just click the link below:
