I had a great time hearing really amazing work at #NACBS2025 in Montreal, especially regarding Balck British history. There’s nothing more academically invigorating than leaving a conference full of excitement for future work. 🤓

THAT’S MY ADVISOR!!! 🍾🍾🍾

Trying to motivate your students to hand in that final paper…

On April 23, award-winning broadcaster & author Emma Dabiri will deliver the 2025 Flatly Lecture Her talk compares Yourba and Irish ontologies to discuss the Irish language conceptualization of duine gorm - 'blue person' - a term used to describe people racialized as Black individuals as Gaeilge.

It was an honor & a pleasure to be invited by the MIT Coalition for Palestine to speak about the historic connections and continued solidarity between Ireland and Palestine alongside @rachael-young.bsky.social Perfect way to end the long St. Patrick’s weekend ☘️🇵🇸

Why attend a parade when you can attend a protest? It’s what St Patrick would have wanted #FreeMahmoudKhalil #freepalestine #bostonPSL @tiffthompson.bsky.social

How to celebrate St. Patrick’s weekend as an Irish historian: drink while you make protest signs with your academic bestie @rachael-young.bsky.social ☘️🇵🇸

Had a really great time at #ACIS2025 in Savannah, but I was so distracted by the sunshine I didn’t take any photos inside at the actual conference…

#Comhfhios year 8 is here! I cannot wait to once again be dazzled by the work of Irish Studies grads from the US, Ireland, and the UK!

🗃️ Historians of migration, empire, and diaspora, and readers of global Irish history in particular, may be interested in the Glucksman Irish Diaspora Series, a series I edit for @nyupress.bsky.social nyupress.org/search-resul...

It seems there has been a new X-odus? A good time to remind you all of @petergray47.bsky.social ‘s Irish History starter pack: go.bsky.app/TQ96Hoe

Needed to rethink a lecture on race in modern Ireland this term and these are some of the books that helped me enormously. It’s a really vibrant area at the moment.

Was talking with our MA History students about Radden Keefe’s book earlier in the week. Interested to see whether it works as dramatisation.

Had a great time at #NACBS2024 in Denver. I always leave this conference amazed by all the great work being done! Still a little academically star struck at being on a panel with Judy Walkowitz, Kieran Connell, and Stephen Brooke…
