Our volume "Canada and the Great Irish Famine" is coming along: we now have a cover and a set of typeset proofs! Given the place of the Atlantic Ocean in the Famine emigration, the cover is an appropriate one. @mcgillqueensup.bsky.social More details on publication to follow #irishincanada #refugees
