Hi Jennifer,

Dare I suggest (and you're probably already doing this) that the perspectiv=
es and identities of Northern Ireland migrants to Britain be included, and =
not just concerning the conflict? Considering their significant proportion =
of the Irish-born group (which has been steadily increasing) it is surprisi=
ng that they often get left out of the story of Irish migration. I can reco=
mmend literature if you need it.

Best of luck with the module,

Johanne

n 20th Century Britain

Dear Colleagues

I'm hoping to draw on the collective wisdom and the creativity of this
listserv as I am redeveloping a course on the Irish in 20th Century
Britain. This is for a third (final) year undergraduate course which will
have c.25-30 students (I guestimate, but not much higher than this). This
number is important as it means I have a bit of freedom to not just do
lectures, but more interactive tasks so this might inspire your thinking

I have a course syllabus already but I specifically would like some input
on recent work, work on the Irish in the arts/music/drama scenes, and
perhaps the Irish in British empire migration schemes to Australia, for
example. I would also like thoughts on good films to watch (such as Kings)
and readings to go along with them. Any and all suggestions welcome and I'm
willing to share my syllabus with anyone who wants it.

Best wishes

Jennifer

I will be starting in 1900 so will be including all island migrants so to
speak and I'll be using Lambkin and Fitzgerald's *Migration in Irish
History* but other literature on N. Ireland would be most gratefully
received

Thanks!

This year=E2=80=99s Irish in Britain Seminar Series continues next Tuesday =
evening
with:





*The Irish Post and the story of emigration (2008-2014)*

Robert Mulhern, Journalist, The Irish Post





*The Irish Post* newspaper has closely followed trends in Irish migration
to Britain over the last six years through a series of news stories and
feature articles. How has this informed and influenced our understanding of
recent migration? Who are the readers of the *Irish Post* and what do they
want to read about? Do such stories matter to the Irish in Britain today?
What are the myths, what are the facts? Has people=E2=80=99s experience of =
recent
emigration been accurately reported in the Irish media and does an Irish
newspaper still have a role to play in this changing experience=E2=80=A6?





Robert Mulhern is an award winning journalist. His radio documentary *The
Garda who Limped* (2014) won silver in the Documentary category at the 2014
PPI Radio Awards. It was responsible for exposing the penalty points
scandal which resulted in the resignations of then Garda Commissioner
Martin Callinan and Justice Minister Alan Shatter. In 2011, Robert authored
the critically acclaimed book *A Very Different County*, which told the
story of the GAA in London through personal experience. He has also
produced three radio documentaries set in London: *Sex, Flights and
Videotapes, The Green Line*and *The Green Cab* for RTE's Documentary on One
series.



Tuesday 11th November

*6.30 =E2=80=93 8.00pm*



Room TM138

London Metropolitan University

Tower Building

166-220 Holloway Road

N7 8DB



Nearest tube: Holloway Road





There are still a *small number of places* left to attend this seminar.



Attendance is *free *but it is essential to *register in advance *at:



*https://www.eventbrite.com/e/irish-in-britain-seminar-series-tickets-13696=
690169*








*The Irish in Britain Seminar Series* offers an opportunity for members of
the public, as well as students and scholars, to debate and disseminate the
latest research on Ireland, migration and the diaspora.



The present phase of Irish migration to Britain began with the collapse of
the Irish economy in 2008. Six years on, we assess the situation today. How
do migrants and their experiences of life in Britain compare to previous
generations? How long is the current phase of migration likely to last?



Focusing on topics such as education, health and sport, this year=E2=80=99s
speakers will shed light on these questions and invite you to contribute to
the debate. Future seminars as follows:



25 Nov:* No Irish, Not Irish, Know Irish? - health, well-being and Irish
identity*

Claire Barry, Director, Mind Yourself



2 Dec:* Different shades of green: Sport and Irish emigrants in London *

Frances Harkin, PhD Candidate, Queen=E2=80=99s University Belfast



All seminars take place on Tuesday evenings from *6.30 - 8.00pm.*



It is possible to register for these seminars here:



*https://www.eventbrite.com/e/irish-in-britain-seminar-series-tickets-13696=
690169*








The Irish in Britain Seminar Series is run by the* Irish Studies
Centre *which was
the first centre of its kind established in Britain and has provided a
forum for teaching, learning and research since 1986.

Dear Colleagues

Please visit here http://nblo.gs/11gASo (the email settings won't let me
send you the official invite attachment) for an invitation to the
launch of David
Monahan's "On Leaving" photographic project, which I have been involved in
as both a subject (when I went to the US for two years) and now as a
contributor to the book he has published. As many of you will know, he has
been documenting the emigration trends from Ireland since 2010 (more here
http://www.davidmonahan.eu/leaving-dublin)


In case members are interested, the launch on Wed 26th November is in the
Gallery of Photography in Temple Bar and David has asked me to speak at it.


All welcome, please spread the word to your various networks and contacts

*Inaugural Irish Studies Centre Autumn Lecture*





6.00 pm, Wednesday 19th November 2014



His Excellency, Daniel Mulhall, Irish Ambassador to Great Britain



*Changed Utterly: the birth of independent Ireland, 1912-1922*





The decade between 1912 and 1922 was the key period in the evolution of
modern Ireland. In 1912, no-one would have predicted the kind of
developments that transformed Ireland in the ten years that followed. At
that time, it looked as if Ireland had arrived at the end-point of a
political era that has started with the establishment of the Home Rule
movement in the 1860s. With the Liberal Party in power, and depending on
the Irish Parliamentary Party for its majority, Home Rule seemed destined
to be achieved.



By 1922, Ireland had been =E2=80=98changed utterly=E2=80=99 as WB Yeats put=
it. In the
interim, Ireland had experienced the Home Rule crisis of 1913-1914,
participation in World War 1, the Easter Rising of 1916, the war of
independence and the setting up of an independent Irish State which in 1922
was beset by civil war.



How and why did all of this come about? What changed Ireland between 1912
and 1922? Ireland=E2=80=99s Ambassador in London, Dan Mulhall, has maintai=
ned a
lifelong interest in Irish history, with a particular focus on the period
between 1900 and 1922. In this talk, he will reflect on Ireland=E2=80=99s
revolutionary decade, =E2=80=98The Birth of Independent Ireland=E2=80=99, a=
period whose
centenary is now upon us and is the focus in Ireland of a Decade of
Commemorations.

*Different shades of green: Sport and Irish emigrants in London*

Frances Harkin, PhD Candidate, Institute of Irish Studies, Queen=E2=80=99s
University Belfast.


The recent arrival of large numbers of new Irish emigrants in London is
indicative of a continually shifting and evolving Irish population. A
cultural distance between the =E2=80=98new=E2=80=99 Irish and the older set=
tled Irish
population appears to be emerging, reflected in their different experiences
of living as an Irish person in London and interpretations of what it means
to be Irish. The emergence of new settlement patterns amongst the recent
wave of Irish emigrants has also impacted upon the overarching Irish
community as intergenerational links and interactions between different
elements of this collective have become fractured.

Drawing upon ethnographic research conducted with members of London=E2=80=
=99s Irish
community, this paper discusses the contemporary significance of sport in
the lives of Irish people in London. The Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA)
is one arena through which the settled Irish population in London and the
newly arrived Irish can interact with each other, creating a sense of
continuity between the different waves of emigrants who have arrived in
London since the inception of the Association in 1896. UCC Diaspora F.C has
also become an important social and sporting resource for Irish people in
the city, yet it appears to be firmly in the domain of those who have
arrived since 2008. In considering the function of Gaelic games and soccer
for the most recent phase of Irish emigrants, this paper also considers
similarities and differences between the =E2=80=98new=E2=80=99 and older Ir=
ish emigrants in
London and provides an insight into London=E2=80=99s contemporary Irish com=

A
thorn in the side of various colonial elites on three continents, Madden
witnessed the horror of the Irish Famine and the oppression of the
Australian Aborigines. Living by his wits, socially and politically, he
supported the emancipation of his fellow Irish Catholics, uncovering at =
the
same time the abuses of the establishment. Many of the social and =
political
issues addressed in "The Irish Abolitionist" are as pertinent today as =
they
were when Madden first wrote about them more than a century ago.
