Such a pleasure to introduce our final screening for the Spectral Child on Screen series. Abrahamson’s ‘The Little Stranger’ remains profoundly eerie, poignant and beautiful. Huge thanks to @HydeParkPH for collaborating with us.

Our programme has been chosen to explore the various ways in which, historically and culturally, the ghostly or spectral child has functioned as a motif in international cinema. We hope you can join us!

Our second session of the morning saw colleagues from @NewWritingNorth update us on one of the engagement projects which has emerged from the network - a creative writing initiative with students from the Gypsy, Roma and Traveller community.

@spectres_of had the great pleasure of joining legal scholar Dr Andrea Mulligan, midwife and law PhD candidate Julika Hudson, and authors Jessica Traynor and Alice Kinsella last night for a fascinating discussion on the subject of the child in Irish law, culture and society.

Delighted to be in Dublin for a round table on The Spectral Child and the Law. This conversation will bring together creative writers, clinicians and legal scholars to think about a range of topics pertaining to the law and the child, both historically and in our present moment.
