Dear Michael, I am sure you will know of the County Associations in G.B. I
recall addressing the Mayo Co. Assoc. in Manchester some years ago and there
were a good few there who would recall the "men who built Britian" - Ultan
Cowley's book which I sent on it rounds hereabouts in Tourmakeady and have
not seen it since! The Lydon family - John now recently deceased built a lot
around Finsbury Pk in the post war years- and the McNicholas' family from
N.Mayo also. All the best with the thesis. John McGurk.

Dear Colleagues,

I'm hoping to draw on the collective experience and networking
capabilities of this listserv in order to identify a cohort of potential
interviewees and gather existing sources in relation to my PhD research
Project which focuses on the experiences of the Irish involved in the
construction industry in London, since the Second World War. If you are -
or know - someone who emigrated to London in the decades following World
War Two, who worked in building or civil engineering and who would be
willing to have their recollections recorded and become part of this study
then please contact me either by e-mail on michael.mulvey.2012[at]mumail.ie
or telephone 00353-87-981-5385. If you want to know more about the
project, please visit our Facebook page at:

Dear friends and colleagues,


This year's Irish in Britain Seminar Series commences at London
Metropolitan University next Thursday evening with:


*Brothers of the Quill: Oliver Goldsmith and Friends, London, 1757-64*

Prof. Norma Clarke, Kingston University, London



This paper investigates some of the Irish writers in London who were
friends or acquaintances of Oliver Goldsmith from the time he arrived in
the city, penniless, in 1756 and began to make a successful career as a
writer, first in Grub Street and then as a distinguished poet. It draws on
research in Prof. Clarke=E2=80=99s new book,* Brothers of the Quill: Oliver
Goldsmith in Grub Street*, due to be published in the spring. It argues
that understanding Goldsmith as an Irish writer is essential to an
understanding of his writings and it asks questions about what it meant to
be an Irish writer in London in the period. Among those discussed in the
book are Paul Hiffernan, Jack Pilkington, Edward Purdon, Samuel Derrick and
Robert Nugent.





Professor of English Literature and Creative Writing at Kingston
University, Norma Clarke specializes in 18th century literature and has a
particular interest in Irish writers in London during that period. Her 2008
book, *Queen of the Wits, A Life of Laetitia Pilkington *told the story of
one such Irish writer, and her new book*, Brothers of the Quill, Oliver
Goldsmith in Grub Street*, tells the story of several others.



*Thursday 22 October*

*6.30 =E2=80=93 8.00 p.m *



Attendance is *FREE *and there is no requirement to register in advance.

However, *places are limited* so please ensure you arrive early to
guarantee a seat.

Settler Cities: A Useful Concept to Reinterpret Transnational Urban =
History?

In the opening lines of his massive Replenishing the Earth: The Settler =
Revolution and the Rise of the Anglo World, 1783-1939, James Belich =
presents a challenge to historians eager to reinterpret cities in a =
transnational framework: do cities like Chicago and Melbourne on =
opposite sides of the planet share characteristics by virtue of their =
foundation and political rule by white settlers intent on dwelling =
permanently upon lands forcibly taken from their indigenous inhabitants?

This panel will explore this question by calling upon scholars to =
reflect on the concept of =E2=80=9CSettler Cities.=E2=80=9D What defines =
such a city? Are there broad commonalities in the histories of these =
cities that merit singling them for scrutiny as a group? Are they best =
seen as a special subset of colonial cities or is there a way in which =
they expand or transcend that long-used concept? Are there webs of =
connections between these cities and between them and the imperial =
metropoles that make this concept especially useful as a subset of the =
new subfield of transnational urban history? Why did the settlers in =
some cities abandon their projects of settlement while others stay, =
helping to cause some of the most intractable conflicts on earth?

We welcome papers from all geographical regions and diasporas of =
settlement, including papers that compare cities in different empires, =
both within and without Belich=E2=80=99s focus on the =E2=80=9CAnglo =

or Rio de Janeiro in the same universe as Cape Town, Chicago, Vancouver, =
San Francisco, Belfast, and Sydney? Rippling outward still further, how =
does the history of non-western settler cities articulate with that of =
western ones?

Participants should not only bring their research on individual settler =
cities to the table, but also contemplate several themes underlying the =
concept of settler cities: especially dense connections and flows =
between these cities and between them and metropolitan hubs; the =
diversity of flows between these cities, including not only people, =
money, ideas, and urban practices, but also jurisprudential systems, =
organizational forms, urban economic structures, group identities, and =
political cultures; especially complex forms of urban politics that =

XXI Ulster-American Heritage Symposium 2016 Mellon Centre for Migration
Studies


Ulster-American Folk Park, Omagh, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland

Wednesday 22 June - Saturday 25 June, 2016




'Forty Years On:


current directions in Ulster-American Heritage Studies'



The first Ulster-American Heritage Symposium, hosted by the New University
of Ulster, Coleraine, was held in 1976. When the twenty-first Symposium is
held in 2016 it will be 'Forty Years On'. Therefore our aim in 2016 will be
to review the achievements of Ulster-American Heritage Studies over the last
forty years, explore current directions, and discuss prospects for the next
forty years. The centenaries of the Easter Rising and the Battle of the
Somme will be marked in 2016 by many scholarly gatherings focused on
'dealing with the past'. We look forward to reviewing the contribution of
Ulster-American heritage studies in this regard, to learning from as many
past contributors as possible, and welcoming new scholars in the field.

Since 1976 the Ulster-American Heritage Symposium has met every two years,
alternating between co-sponsoring universities and museums in Ulster and
North America. Its purpose is to encourage scholarly study and public
awareness of the historical connections between Ulster and North America
including what is commonly called the Scotch-Irish or Ulster-Scots heritage.
The Symposium has as its general theme the process of transatlantic
emigration and settlement, and links between England, Scotland, Ireland and
North America. Its approach is inter-disciplinary, encouraging dialogue
between those working in different fields including history, language and
literature, geography, archaeology, anthropology, folklife, religion and
music.

Confirmed keynote speakers in Omagh 2016 will be Michael 'Mick' Moloney of
Glucksman Ireland House, New York University Global Distinguished Professor
of Irish Studies and Music, and Dr Bill Smith, Chairman of the Ministerial
Advisory Group on the Ulster-Scots Academy (MAGUS). Professor Moloney will
speak on '"If It Wasn't for the Irish and the Jews": Exploring Irish and
Jewish Historic Musical Links and Influences on Vaudeville and Early Tin Pan
Alley in America', and Dr Smith will speak about plans to develop a parallel
academy in the United States.

The programme will include celebrations of two recent publications
associated with the Symposium:




Wayfaring Strangers: The Musical Voyage from Scotland and Ulster to
Appalachia, by Doug Orr and Fiona Ritchie (University of North Carolina
Press, 2014)

Irish Hunger and Migration: Myth, Memory and Memorialization, edited by
Patrick Fitzgerald, Christine Kinealy and Gerard Moran (Quinnipiac
University Press, 2015), which includes a Foreword by Warren Hofstra and
Brian Lambkin reflecting on the almost forty-year history of the Symposium.

As always offers of papers related to the broad theme of the Symposium are
welcome. This year the organisers would be especially glad to receive offers
related to the particular theme of the history and future of Ulster-American
Heritage studies; the themes of the keynote speakers; the themes of the two
publications mentioned; the themes of the 2014 Symposium programme in
Athens, including the American Civil War; legacy and commemoration related
to the migration of 1718; North Americans in Ulster; the 'Decade of
Centenaries, 2012-2022', the theme of 'migration objects' (a small
exhibition of 'migration objects related to the Mellon and Abercorn family
migration stories is planned); and the relevance of historic migration to
current migration issues.

Please submit offer of paper (title plus abstract, not more than 250 words)
and brief cv (not more than 50 words) by email to:

brian.lambkin[at]nmni.com and
patrick.fitzgerald[at]nmni.com



Deadline: 1 November 2015



A response from the organising committee (Patrick Fitzgerald, Warren
Hofstra, Christine Kinealy, Brian Lambkin, Sam Thomas, Johanne Devlin Trew,
William Roulston) should be received by 5 December.

Accommodation: the main conference accommodation will be the Silver Birch
Hotel,

Omagh http://www.silverbirchhotel.com

The programme will consist of a welcome reception on the Wednesday evening,
two full days of papers (Thursday and Friday) at the Mellon Centre and the
Ulster- American Folk Park, and a half day on Saturday.

(We are exploring the possibility of holding the final session at a city
centre venue in Dublin, travelling there by bus from Omagh on Saturday
morning).

Dear friends and colleagues,


This year's Irish in Britain Seminar Series continues at London
Metropolitan University this Thursday evening with:


*Wild Irish Woman: The Life and Times of Charlotte Despard*





Suffragette and Irish nationalist Charlotte Despard lived most of her long
life in Britain and abroad, but felt Irish. As well as being a militant
feminist and socialist, Charlotte was also a pacifist, a novelist, a poet,
a vegetarian, a theosophist. Her political views inevitably set her at odds
with her brother, the penultimate Viceroy of Ireland, Sir John French. Her
causes and campaigns were so unconventional in her time as to earn her the
unkind nickname =E2=80=98Mrs Desperate=E2=80=99, but her preoccupations, wi=
th women=E2=80=99s and
children=E2=80=99s rights particularly, have stood the test of time and sti=
ll feel
current.



Editor and writer, Marian Broderick is the author of five books,
including *Wild
Irish Women*, a collection of historical biographies (published by the
O'Brien Press in 2001). This book combined her main interests, which are
Irish history and women=E2=80=99s history. She completed an MA in Professio=
nal
Writing at London Metropolitan University in 2012, and lives in London.



*Thursday 5 November*

*6.30 =E2=80=93 8.00 p.m *



Attendance is *FREE *and there is no requirement to register in advance.

Dear friends and colleagues,


This year's Irish in Britain Seminar Series continues at London
Metropolitan University next Thursday evening with:


*The Irishness of Francis Bacon*

Bernard Canavan





Francis Bacon is the most internationally known painter ever to come out of
Ireland, though he never went to art school and did not really start
painting until his mid thirties. The subject matter of his art - man in a
modern Godless world - is what made his art celebrated by many and reviled
by others. It may have been the reason why he even denied he was Irish. In
spite of having been born and grown up there, Ireland during Bacon=E2=80=99=
s youth
was probably, in terms of church observance, the most Catholic country in
the world. Today Ireland has radically changed. Dublin's Hugh Lane Gallery
hosts his London studio as it's centrepiece and has the main research
centre on his life and art. Bernard Canavan, who was a young painter in
London in the 1960s, met Bacon a number of times and was profoundly
influenced by his art. In this talk, Bernard will explore the Irish
dimension of his work.



Bernard Canavan emigrated to England in 1959 where he worked at a variety
of manual jobs. During the 1960s he worked as an illustrator for the
underground press in London on magazines such as *Oz *and *IT*. In the
1970s he read politics, philosophy and economics at university and has
taught Irish history at a number of institutions including Birkbeck
College, University of London and the Irish Cultural Centre, Hammersmith.
His paintings of Irish migrant life have been exhibited widely.



*Thursday 12 November*

*6.30 =E2=80=93 8.00 p.m *



Attendance is *FREE *and there is no requirement to register in advance.


Room TM1-45, London Metropolitan University, Tower Building, 166-220

Tube: Holloway Road (Piccadilly line)

Buses: 43, 153, 263, 271, 393

Over the last three centuries, Irish migration to Britain has been marked
by a number of recurring social and cultural characteristics. Personal
experiences of migration, however, invariably reveal nuances and
differences to these norms and encourage us to continually reassess our
understanding and appreciation of what it means to leave one country and go
to live and work in another. This year=E2=80=99s seminar series focuses on =
five
prominent public figures in Britain and explores how migration became a
formative and enduring influence on the shape of their careers and their
sense of Irish identity.


The series concludes with:



19 Nov: *Jerry O=E2=80=99Neill: publican, playwright, novelist & founder of=
The
Sugawn Theatre, Balls Pond Road*

Prof. Ken Worpole, London Metropolitan University




The Irish Studies Centre is located in the Faculty of Social Sciences and
Humanities at London Metropolitan University and has provided a forum for
teaching, learning and research since 1986. 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.

Religion and Greater Ireland: Christianity and Irish Global Networks,
1750-1950

Edited by Colin Barr and Hilary M. Carey

McGill-Queen's-University Press

Impelled by economic deprivation at home and spiritual ambition abroad,
nineteenth-century Irish clerics and laypeople reshaped the many sites
where they came to pray, preach, teach, trade, and settle. So decisive was
the role of religion in the worlds of Irish settlement that it helped to
create a "Greater Ireland" that encompassed the entire English-speaking
world and beyond.

Rejecting the popular notion that the Irish were passive victims of
imperial oppression, Religion and Greater Ireland demonstrates how
religion opened up a vast world to exploit. The religious free market of
the United States and the British Empire provided an opportunity and a
level playing-field in which the Irish could compete and thrive.
Contributors to this collection show how the Irish of all denominations
contributed to the creation and extension of Greater Ireland through
missionary and temperance societies, media, and the circulation of people,
ideas, and material culture around the world. Essays also detail the
diverse experiences of Irish immigrants, whether they were Catholics or
Protestants, clergy or laypeople, women or men, in sites of settlement and
mission including the United States, Canada, South Africa, Asia,
Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland itself.

Seeking to illuminate the interconnections and commonalities of the Irish
migrant experience, Religion and Greater Ireland provides fascinating
insight into the range of influences that Ireland’s religions have had on
the world beyond the British Isles.

Models for Movers: Irish Women=92s Emigration to America is a unique collec=
tion of Irish women=92s oral histories spanning three waves of twentieth-ce=
ntury emigration to America in the 1920s, 1950s and 1980s. By combining a c=
ritical analysis of conditions for women in Ireland with women=92s own acco=
unts of life at the time, the author =CDde B. O=92Carroll highlights the sh=
eer necessity of emigration. If survival in Ireland was a tough proposition=
, especially for women, a place where patriarchs in families, church and st=
ate controlled women=92s lives, where education and paid work was limited, =
then America provided a lifeline to a relative freedom, and crucially, an o=
pportunity to earn an independent income. After reading Models for Movers, =
we begin to appreciate just how far Irish society has come. =0A=
=0A=
At the heart of this book are the women=92s oral histories, the description=
s of ordinary/extraordinary women, an approach that brings to life the real=
ity of women=92s lives in both places, in their own words. The approach was=
considered =91ground-breaking=92 at the time because of the absence of wom=
en from the story of Irish emigration. In fact, the Models for Movers tapes=
, photographs and papers formed the first holding on Irish women at the Sch=
lesinger Library, Harvard University, the premier repository on the history=
of women in America. =0A=
=0A=
The oral histories detail how each woman created an independent life for he=
rself in America, often in the face of multiple challenges there. As active=
agents, often supporting one another to leave, these Irish women are role =
models because they inspire us all to have the courage act. Whether it=92s =
Nora Joyce talking about life on the Aran Islands in the 1920s, or Terry Ry=
an describing inner-city Dublin in the 1950s and her battle with TB, or Len=
a Deevy=92s tales about working in Ballymun in the 1980s, these Irish women=
recount stories of scarcity and scant opportunities in Ireland at the time=
. =0A=
=0A=
In America, they carved out new lives and possibilities for themselves in a=
place that enabled them to thrive and enriched the quality of their lives.=
Nora Joyce (1920s) followed in the footsteps of countless other Irish wome=
n in America by working in domestic service until she had managed to save e=
nough money to buy a house, marry and start her own family. Largely self-ed=
ucated during spells in TB hospitals, Terry Ryan (1950s) nonetheless found =
work as a secretary in America. She graduated with a degree from Northeaste=
rn University shortly before her husband and the father of her two children=
became its president. On the pretext of =91taking a rest,=92 Sister Lena D=
eevy (1980s) applied to and later graduated from Harvard Graduate School of=
Education. She became one of Boston=92s most respected Irish leaders. =0A=

This revised twenty-fifth anniversary edition comes at a time of renewed gl=

Dear friends and colleagues,


This year's Irish in Britain Seminar Series concludes next Thursday evening
at London Metropolitan University with:


*Jerry O=E2=80=99Neill: publican, playwright, novelist and founder of The S=
ugawn
Theatre, The Duke of Wellington, Balls Pond Road*

Prof. Ken Worpole, London Metropolitan University



In 1967, Jerry O=E2=80=99Neill, former bank-worker and hiring agent for
construction firm John Murphy, took over The Duke of Wellington pub in
Balls Pond Road, Dalston. He turned it into a centre of London-Irish
literary and musical life, converting the rear snooker hall into The Sugawn
Theatre which, among many other achievements, premiered Hugh Leonard=E2=80=
=99s
important play *Da*. The pub was a meeting place for Irish writers and
musicians, and =E2=80=98The Sugawn=E2=80=99 a venue for both experimental a=
nd popular
theatre and music. As well as being a playwright himself, O=E2=80=99Neill w=
as the
author of five very fine novels, dealing with the lives of Irish building
workers in London, amongst other political and social themes. Ken Worpole
got to know O=E2=80=99Neill in the 1970s, whilst organising poetry events a=
t The
Sugawn, and has since been a keen advocate of O=E2=80=99Neill=E2=80=99s imp=
ortant and
lasting novels.



Ken Worpole is the author of a number of books on London=E2=80=99s social a=
nd
literary history, and on architecture and landscape. He is Emeritus
Professor at London Metropolitan University.

Over the last three centuries, Irish migration to Britain has been marked
by a number of recurring social and cultural characteristics. Personal
experiences of migration, however, invariably reveal nuances and
differences to these norms and encourage us to continually reassess our
understanding and appreciation of what it means to leave one country and go
to live and work in another. This year=E2=80=99s seminar series focuses on =
five
prominent public figures in Britain and explores how migration became a
formative and enduring influence on the shape of their careers and their
sense of Irish identity.


The Irish Studies Centre is located in the Faculty of Social Sciences and
Humanities at London Metropolitan University and has provided a forum for
teaching, learning and research since 1986. 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.
