The School will begin on Sunday 11th August with the Parnell Lecture:

On Monday Dr Darragh Gannon (QUB) will discuss: Where in the world was the Irish Revolution? Power, politics, and the place of global commemoration.

 

(For more reading on this topic: this was the theme of History Ireland’s special commemorative series on the Irish revolution published in April. 

The Irish revolution, 1919-21: A global history, is edited by Tommy Graham, Brian Hanley and Fearghal McGarry. Featuring contributions from a host of scholars in the field, it focuses on placing the Irish revolution in global context, with two key themes: the impact of transnational factors on the revolution in Ireland;  and the impact of the Irish revolution beyond Ireland.
