Surrounded by oceans and seas, Ireland is host to extensive marine science research and a land known for its storytelling and storytellers. This Dublin-based residency course will explore this confluence of sea, science, and literature. The onsite portion of the course will include a mix of talks with scientists and local science journalists, craft discussions, and field trips to sites in and around this UNESCO City of Literature. Time permitting, the class will also meet with scientists from Ireland’s booming nanoscience sector. An online component leading up to and following the residency week will include short reading assignments, discussions, and a brief writing exercise.
