Research Proposal: Queer space, visibility, and the built environment: a study of the Hirschfeld centre and the gay scene in 1980s Dublin.
My research centres around a previously unpublished set of photographs, The Don Wood Photographic Collection 1980-83, through which I aim to explore the interrelation of concepts of Queer space, visibility, and the built enviornment in the early years of the Hirschfeld Centre in 1980s Dublin.
