The fourth seminar in the new Queer Human Rights Seminar Series at the Irish Centre for Human Rights, on 'Queering Tyrannicide' by guest speaker Professor Aoife O'Donoghue, will take place on Friday, 3 March 2023 at 12pm online only via Zoom. Please contact humanrights@universityofgalway.ie for admission details.

This is the fourth seminar in the new Queer Human Rights Seminar Series at the Irish Centre for Human Rights. Prof Aoife O'Donoghue's research encompasses feminism, utopia, tyranny, law and literature as well as constitutionalism and international law. She joined QUB in May having previously worked at Durham University, and University of Galway. Her paper builds on her work on her monograph Tyranny and the Global Legal Order (CUP, 2021) by considering first the realms of feminist tyrannicide and builds on that to consider what could be gained by queering tyrannicide and asking if it offers something emancipatory beyond the normal expectations of simply ending tyranny.
