School of Religion Trinity College Dublin Orientation 2019-2020
26 August 2019
Dear Graduate Student,
On behalf of the Acting Head of School, Prof. David Shepherd and all the staff here in Dublin and Belfast, it is a
pleasure to welcome you to the School and to wish you a successful year of study and research in Trinity College
Dublin.
Our School explores religious studies, international conflict and peace studies, theology, ethics and biblical studies as
independent but often related disciplinary fields and our undergraduate and postgraduate courses and our research
students interrogate encounters between cultures and religions from antiquity to the present day. Our students and
staff investigate the intellectual and institutional resources developed in historical and current interactions and
conflicts and apply them to the challenges and the opportunities societies face in an age of globalisation.
During your orientation event you will receive some basic information about how the School works, you will meet
some of the key people involved in teaching and administration, and you will have an opportunity to become
familiar with the layout of our building. Most importantly, you will have an opportunity to introduce yourselves to
one another, and to see what kinds of skills, experiences and previous studies have shaped the student community
of 2019-2020. If you need any additional assistance, please do not hesitate to approach staff who will be around
throughout the evening.
As a staff, our hope is that you will find the coming year to be fruitful – intellectually and socially – and that you will
be both stretched and inspired by your time in the School. We look forward to getting to know you and to working
with you in the weeks and months ahead.
With kind regards and best wishes.
Prof. Carlo Aldrovandi
Director of Postgraduate Teaching and Learning

IRISH SCHOOL OF ECUMENICS, SPECIALIST COLLECTION GUIDELINES
Dear Students,
We would like to draw your attention to this Dublin based resource which is available to all ISE
postgraduate students. We also thought it would be helpful to provide you with guidelines re the
Reading Room which is located at the ISE / Loyola Inst. Building, TCD main campus, which
operates on a ‘trust basis’. We see it as a vital resource for ISE and Loyola staff and postgraduate
students, and so ask you to note and co-operate in keeping the following guidelines:
Books located in the Reading Room are solely for the use of ISE and LI staff and
postgraduate students and are a supplement to the main College library resources;
Books may not be removed from the Reading Room;
Books must be replaced in their correct location;
Books are ordered according to the Dewey Decimal System which is also the system used
in College libraries;
The Dewey System uses three-digit Arabic numbers for main Categories; numbers which
follow the decimal point are used to used to sub- subcategorize the disciplinary areas;
The hard copy Catalogue which is available in the Reading Room is arranged alphabetically
by author, with the Dewey number located in the last column.
If you experience any difficulties, please contact Aideen Woods, at isedir@tcd.ie.
Please do not remove the catalogue from the Reading Room.
