The Trinity Long Room Hub runs a major public engagement initiative which aims to share the insights and benefits of Arts and Humanities research with diverse communities across Ireland and the world. On this page, you will find upcoming events as well as links to watch and listen to past events. You will also be able to connect directly to special playlists with our ongoing signature events.  For more on our public events, sign up to our newsletter here.

Our ongoing signature series include Behind the Headlines, which offers background analyses on current issues and creates a space for informed and respectful public discourse; the Annual Edmund Burke Lecture, bringing leading public intellectuals of our time to Trinity College Dublin; and The Annual Humanities Horizons Lecture which was established to provide a significant contribution to reflection on and advocacy for the Arts and Humanities.  

With thanks to the John Pollard Foundation for supporting the ongoing development of the Behind the Headlines series, and to the Fallon family for their support for the Edmund Burke Lecture Series in honour of Padraic Fallon.
