"Ireland was Britain's oldest colony. This has undoubtedly shaped how people from Ireland engage with postcolonial conflicts" Prof @janeohlmeyer.bsky.social (School of Histories & Humanities) comments on the roots of Ireland's position on Palestine for @thenationalnews.com Read now: bit.ly/3VjYKda

Save the date. 👇 Really looking forward to visiting Brazil again later this month. Do join us if you can. All welcome. 🤗

A fantastic performance of Translations at Dunlewey as part of the Friel festival with a visit to the deserted village of Glentoran before the play. Stunning evening in magnificent Donegal.

📣New on #researchMATTERS today: Prof Bríona Nic Dhiarmada and Prof Jane Ohlmeyer talk to us about Trinity’s impact on the documentary series exploring 10,000 years of Irish history. 🔗 www.tcd.ie/research/res... @tcddublin.bsky.social @tlrhub.bsky.social @janeohlmeyer.bsky.social

The National Museum of the American Indian esp the gallery on Treaties - later “bad paper” - tells an extraordinary story of conquest, expropriation & assimilation (aka ‘civilisation’). Sound familiar? Also noteworthy that Andrew Jackson’s parents were “Ulster Scots” who left Ireland in 1765.

Found the battlefield sites at Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville & Bull Run to be very moving. Men from Ireland served on both sides & 1000s died or were wounded. ☘️

Great exhibits on women at the Jamestown museum in Virginia. Of the 900 colonists in 1620 census 200 were women & children. With time the number increased. @thejamestownfdn.bsky.social @voicestcd.bsky.social

The National park at Appomattox Virginia - where the American civil war finally ended - is incredibly well done. So enjoyed our time there.

Inspiring doesn’t begin to capture just how amazing the national museum of African American history & culture is. I loved everything about it esp the coverage afforded to women. Lonnie Bunch was the creative genius & it was my pleasure to welcome him to @tlrhub.bsky.social @voicestcd.bsky.social

Delighted to visit Daniel O’Connell’s beautiful house in wonderful Derrynane in Kerry.

On 12/22 July 1691 the battle of Aughrim was fought resulting in the defeat of the Jacobite forces by the Williamites. One of the bloodiest battles on Irish soil w 7000 being killed. Also took the opportunity to visit the well preserved castle & the impressive Dominican priory at Athenry.

I am reviewing Reforming Galway, the last wonderful book by the late Raymond Gillespie. I was thrilled to visit St Nicholas church to see it, esp the font & the only cherub to escape Cromwellian iconoclasm. The memorial to Jane Eyre is also fascinating for our @voicestcd.bsky.social

So excited to see the feature of From That Small Island at the Galway Film Festival. Thanks to the great audience who joined us on such a sunny afternoon for our screening & Q&A. ☀️🤩☀️ @voicestcd.bsky.social @galwayfilm.bsky.social @tlrhub.bsky.social @tcddublin.bsky.social

The Strokestown Famine Museum is so worth a visit.
