PhD Candidate Katie Donnelly participated in a PhD poster presentation at the UCD Humanities Institute’s ‘Post-Extractivist Legacies and Landscapes’ conference. Her poster, ‘Mining for Magic: Digging for Gold in the Colonial Fairytale’ uses the format of a colonial newspaper to examine prolific British-Australian writer, Frank Atha Westbury’s ‘Golden Cloud’—a fairytale in which a gold miner, ‘Samson the Nugget’ saves the lost princess from an evil dwarf.
