Ian McBride will deliver the 2017 Hibernian Lecture, which is presented by the Cushwa Center for the Study of American Catholicism.
Professor McBride is the Foster Professor of Irish History at Hertford College, University of Oxford. His current research deals with the penal laws in 18th-century Ireland—how the Code was implemented and how it reshaped Catholic Ireland.
This evening of music at Notre Dame will feature two of the perfomers, composers and musical curators Liz Carroll (fiddle) and Marty Fahey (piano) who created the music for the Art Institute of Chicago's 2015 exhibition, Ireland: Crossroads of Art and Design, 1690-1840, along with guest musician Aileen Dillane (Irish World Academy of Music and Dance, University of Limerick and Visiting Professor, Keough-Naughton Institute for Irish Studies).
As the Institute and its scholars continue to examine and probe the “worlding of Irish Studies,” this year, the IRISH Seminar joined with the University’s annual Rome Seminar to hold “Ireland & Italy” at the Rome Global Gateway, June 16-30. The Seminar’s executive director Barry McCrea, Donald R. Keough Family Professor of Irish Studies and Professor of English, Irish Language and Literature, and Romance Languages and Literatures, remarked: “The Ireland & Italy Seminar reversed many of my assumptions about the relationship between Ireland and Italy, and even about how culture travels.”
The Keough-Naughton Institute's award-winning 1916 The Irish Rebellion will be screened on Thursday, August 24, at 4:00 p.m. in São Paulo, Brazil, at the Cinusp Paulo Emílio as part of its 11-day Cultural Trauma Show in Ireland and Brazil and the last event in the Institute's Reframing 1916 tour.
