The ICGRN has a rich history of promoting scholarship on the crime genre from its base on the island of Ireland. Over the last two decades, ICGRN members have met for conferences in most of Ireland’s major universities, and we are in the process of gathering archive material from these conferences to host here on our website. This is ongoing work, and we will be adding to this page regularly. If you have any material to share with us, please write to us at icgrnetwork@gmail.com.
