@ucddublin.bsky.social @ssnci.bsky.social The book might have dropped during the summer, but we only got to have a celebratory coffee today. My thanks again to the Society for the opportunity to do this book, to the contributors and referees, and to my two excellent (and chuffed) co-editors #ssnci

@ssnci.bsky.social @livunipress.bsky.social Finally got my own copies! Hard to think that this all started with a conference in June 2022! Thanks to Arlene and Cathal, all the contributors and to our top secret peer reviewers #ssnci #irishstudies #conflict #Ireland

@icuf.bsky.social @crimeanwar.bsky.social Back in Ireland after a brilliant research trip to Toronto & #Canada. Caught up with old colleagues, met new ones, undertook brand new research, presented and learnt a whole lot about how Nova Scotia & Halifax experienced the #CrimeanWar Thank you ICUF

Not only was my talk streamed live to RNSHS members via Zoom, but people all across Canada can view my talk via EastLink Community TV very soon. Very honoured to be double miced for my talk 😅

Well attended with a great Q&A. Followed by a drink and a lot more chat with a whole bunch of Halifax historians

A further thanks to @icuf.bsky.social and my Dobbin Legacy Scholarship for enabling me to be in Toronto at the same time as the @cais-irish1973.bsky.social conference. Very much looking forward to chatting with scholars from across Canada and beyond, including fellow Dobbin @emilymfg.bsky.social

@icuf.bsky.social Well, my Dobbin-funded research trip to Canada is well under way. With some useful sermons discovered so far to help better understand how Canadians viewed and understood the #CrimeanWar and how that compared to Ireland and Britain. More to come
