Transnational history training workshop

Event details

This workshop will be discussion based, and will focus on the methodological, historiographical, and conceptual challenges of research and writing transnational history, particularly (but not exclusively) in relation to the study of modern Ireland.

The day will involve mini-workshops based around three masterclasses run by Professor David Gleeson (Northumbria), Dr Sarah Roddy (Manchester), and Dr David Sim (University College London), as well as feedback from historians based at the University of Edinburgh including Professor Enda Delaney and Dr Niall Whelehan.

Attend the Transnational Ireland Network

This event will take place the day before a meeting of the Transnational Ireland Network to be hosted by the University of Edinburgh on 27th May. The attendees at our workshop are invited to stay on and participate in this international meeting.
