Sources and Voices: Archives, Writing and the Irish Diaspora

This webinar draws together academics, archivists, and researchers across a number of disciplines, including History, English, Irish Language, and related disciplines, with a focus on recovering and exploring the connections, voices, and sources of the Irish-American diaspora. Through a number of recent publications and ongoing digital humanities projects, a range of new histories, as explored by the contributors, have drawn on previously neglected or underknown archival sources, providing new insights into the experience and representation of the Irish-American diaspora. This webinar will showcase recent research into these publications, projects, as well as of the sources and voices of the diaspora recovered in the process.

Speakers: John Cox, Beth Anish, Patrick O'Mahoney, Máire Nic an Bhaird, Sophie Cooper, Professor Dan Carey, Breandáin Mac Suibhne and Kieran Hoare.
