Collaboration with library staff to promote social and cultural engagement

Activity: Consultancy typesWork on advisory panels for social community and cultural engagement

Description


Collaboration over a four-year period with librarians at the McClay library to influence the cultural and heritage sector through public exhibition and engagement activities that celebrate the local resources of the McClay library pertaining to C.S. Lewis, Helen Waddell, and Seamus Heaney. Small-panel meetings between librarians (Deirdre Wildy, Louisa Costelloe) and academics (Sinead O’Sullivan and Ciaran Arthur) resulted in the creation and design of an exhibition that built on a lecture I gave on C.S. Lewis to visiting US students and academics in the C.S. Lewis Reading Room, The McClay Library in 2018. Plans are underway to export this exhibition to other university libraries and campuses.
