Trinity Long Room Hub Arts and Humanities Research Institute (TLRH) was established by TCD in 2006 to advance interdisciplinary research in the arts and humanities and is strategically placed to do so, operating across 9 schools and the college library.
The TLRH provides leadership in positioning the arts and humanities at the centre of approaches to tackling complex societal challenges and developing interdisciplinary & transdisciplinary approaches. It has extensive experience in securing external funding to lead and partner on innovative research projects and public humanities programs. It provides support to early career researchers across Arts and Huminites schools at TCD.
As one of TCD’s five flagship research institutes, the TLRH supports established research themes and emerging areas that draw on a critical mass of collaborative research from across the university: creative arts practice; digital humanities; identities in transformation; making Ireland; manuscript, book, and print cultures; neuro-humanities, medical and health humanities, environmental humanities, the crises of democracy, and what it means to be human.
As a vocal advocate for public humanities, over 200,000 people over the last decade have attended free public events in the TLRH, and it has achieved an online global reach of over 1 million through the Hub’s podcasts, live streaming, social media, and website.
