Ireland and the Colonies 1775-1977: Friendships, Alliances, Resistances
This conference will examine the contribution of Irish and international agents in major historical processes such as the war of American independence, the Irish rebellion, the abolition of slavery, the Indian ‘mutiny’, nationalist movements, the emergence of the Irish Free State and independence, partition of territories. Ireland and the Colonies, 1775-1947, will seek to interrogate current models of colonial and postcolonial scholarship within the disciplinary boundaries of the academy and the historiographical traditions dictated by modern nation states. The conference aims to inaugurate a major new international research network to lead and disseminate future research in this field.
