Acclaimed Irish theatre director Garry Hynes will lead the line-up at next month’s Irish Women Writers’ Network (IWWN) Collaborations & Networks symposium. The keynote interview with Hynes is one of many events taking place during the IWWN Virtual Symposium, to be held on 3 and 4 September. Conducted virtually due to COVID-19, this international event will explore the various ways in which Irish women writers engaged in and developed diverse creative collaborations between 1880 and 1940 in order to produce a wide range of works. The creative innovations and collaborative processes across genres and media that Irish women were involved in during the period will be of central importance to the symposium, including the various personal and professional networks and strategies women used to establish themselves as writers both at home and in transnational contexts.

Undertaking a Master's or Doctorate by research offers applicants a chance to do extensive and independent research on a particular topic, eventually completing a dissertation or thesis (a long piece of writing) of a high standard. You will work with a supervisor who will mentor you throughout the process. With a Doctorate (PhD), as well as producing a large single piece of publishable research, you will do an oral examination (called a 'Viva Voce'). Structured PhD programmes combine taught modules and other assessment modes along with the key aspects of a Doctorate.
