University of Limerick holds Morrissey Symposium
The University of Limerick celebrates the musical career of Morrissey with a special two-day symposium this April.
The Smiths mainman first made it onto the UL syllabus last year when Department of Sociology Head Dr. Eoin Devereux gave a talk on how the Manchester group were influenced by their immigrant Irish and Catholic backgrounds.
The hugely successful event attracted over 250 people, and the college is expecting just as much interest in this new two-day Morrissey Symposium, The Songs That Saved Your Life (Again).
The symposium will take place at the university on April 24 and 25, and will celebrate Morrissey's 20 year career as a solo artist, and will feature 20 Irish and international speakers presenting papers on the singer, discussing his iconic status among immigrant Latinos in LA, his place in Italian popular culture, and much more.
Early booking is advised, mail for registration and any queries.
