 Wednesday May 19, 2010 11:53 by Terry
 A one day interdisciplinary conference aiming to bring together researchers whose work offers an insight into the lives of ordinary people in nineteenth century Ireland. The particular focus is on class as those lives were bound up with production, domination, exploitation and conflict. Given the relatively sparsely documented nature of this topic and the consequent challenges to research, employing the different approaches represented by different disciplines can be of great utility in giving us a fuller picture. by Spalpeen. Thu Jul 01, 2010 20:28  Only people who are ignorant of the Irish language would see these names as insulting. by Terry Tue Jul 20, 2010 09:44 A number of places are still available for the forthcoming conference; to register for attendance, please forward the registration form (it is in an above comment) to eoin.flaherty@nuim.ie or you can register on the day. |
