Time: 18.00 to 19.30
Location: J.M. Synge lecture theatre, Arts Building, Trinity College Dublin.
Dr Graeme Murdock (TCD) investigates the origins of resistance against political authority in eastern Europe. The lecture will assess the character of ideas about rights of resistance and how they were put into practice. Dr Graeme Murdock is an Associate Professor of History at Trinity College Dublin. His research investigates the diverse and changing character of religious life in early modern Europe: the impact of the Reformation in Hungary and Transylvania and the Hungarian Reformed tradition in the early modern period; the consequences of religious division in French-speaking societies and efforts to promote moral and social discipline in French Reformed communities.

Understanding Resistance in Europe’s East: Public Lecture Series at TCD.
This year’s lecture series explores forms and patterns of resistance, opposition, non-compliance or protest in Europe’s East - both past and present.
The lecturers will discuss manifestations of resistance in the region’s history, the long-term legacies of dissent, innovative forms of protest, and the role of culture in shaping critical views of politics and society.
The series will highlight the multifaceted nature of resistance by showcasing the diversity of acts of opposition across time and space in Europe’s most complex and symbolically loaded region.
The series is organised jointly by the Trinity Centre for Resistance Studies and the Department of Russian and Slavonic Studies, together with the DU Eastern European Society and DU History Society. It draws on in-house, local and international expertise.
The series is part-funded by the TCD Faculty Events Fund (FAHSS).
