Listen in to a discussion about Ireland and the American Revolution on @newstalkfm.bsky.social featuring Patrick Geoghegan, Finola O’Kane, Eliga Gould, and Patrick Griffin. The episode airs this Sunday at 7PM, ahead of our conference next week. It was a privilege to take part in the conversation.
Excited to release the conference programme for 'Ireland and the American Revolution: 250th Anniversary Perspectives'. There are only a few tickets left, so if you would like to attend I would suggest getting one as soon as possible. Attendance is free but booking is essential.

It was a real pleasure to deliver a plenary lecture at this year’s ECIS conference held @tlrhub.bsky.social. Having completed my PhD at Trinity and later organised the 2012 ECIS conference there as a postdoc, it felt like a homecoming of sorts!
