Our annual conference meets at York University and St Michael's College @uoft.bsky.social June 11-13! Welcome to keynotes @garrettcarr.bsky.social, Anna Teekell, and @cormacmoorehist.bsky.social and IUOE Local 793 guests. With almost forty speakers overall, come and engage with us in Toronto!

Our volume "Canada and the Great Irish Famine" is coming along: we now have a cover and a set of typeset proofs! Given the place of the Atlantic Ocean in the Famine emigration, the cover is an appropriate one. @mcgillqueensup.bsky.social More details on publication to follow #irishincanada #refugees

Happy St Patrick’s Day / Lá Fhéile Pádraig sona daoibh go léir! A great evening of talks at @irishclassical.bsky.social, a much-cherished institution in #BuffaloNY, followed by the customary beef on weck, wings, and “a few scoops” at "The Place", one of the city's oldest taverns. #irishamerica
