A huge thank you to Jay Roszman (UCC), who delivered the keynote at this year's #Comhfhios, titled "The Problem of Meaning: 'Outrages' & Violence in Pre-Famine Ireland"

An amazing lecture to end a captivating day of research on violence and its legacies in Ireland!

@jayroszman.bsky.social @ucc.ie

One of the absolute smartest people I know whose scholarship will force us to rethink how we teach the Famine in all its complexities. UL made an excellent inaugural selection. Congratulations, Pete!

The Corpse in Modern Irish Literature | Home Christopher Cusack (Radboud University) has published widely on Irish and Irish-diasporic literature. His monograph The Great Famine in Irish and North American Fiction, 1892-1921 is forthcoming from Liverpool University Press.
