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. |

Jump To Comment: 3 2 1A 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.
Please note a change of venue to that on the conference programme, our sessions (and registration) will now be held in John Hume Lecture Theatre 4, directions to which are available from the following link http://www.nuim.ie/location/maps/index.shtml The John Hume building is located beside Auxilia House, so this will not substantially effect any existing travel arrangements.
A registration fee of €10 (payable either by post or on the day) applies, and includes coffee breaks, and a light lunch.
We are also holding a post-conference dinner in Maynooth village; if you wish to reserve a place, please indicate so on your registration form (we will need to know this in advance).
This is likely to cost around €20.
Only people who are ignorant of the Irish language would see these names as insulting.
The ending "-een" means "minor".
Like "minor official" on English.
There is a conference fee of €10 which includes light refreshments and lunch. Please register by July 16th using the accompanying form, as space is limited. The summary programme is below and full programme attached.
