theweaselkingTrinity College Dublin says it is taking seriously an incident in which a profile page, complete with image, was inserted on its website for a fake staff member named “Dr Conan T Barbarian”.
His full title and academic qualifications were given as: “Dr Conan T Barbarian, BA (Cimmeria) PhD. (UCD). FTCD (Long Room Hub Associate Professor in Hyborian Studies and Tyrant Slaying).”
The profile went on to say Dr Barbarian completed his PhD, entitled “To Hear The Lamentation of Their Women: Constructions of Masculinity in Contemporary Zamoran Literature” at UCD and was appointed to the school of English in 2006, “after successfully decapitating his predecessor during a bloody battle which will long be remembered in legend and song”.
