I’m a history PhD student researching the politics of food supply in Ireland from 1895-1923. Great to be back in libraries and archives again. Long-time user of such places but new to Tweeting!
On 6 Nov., I successfully defended my PhD at DCU after a 22 km run over a foggy Hill of Howth at 5am. Many tks to supervisor Dr Daithí Ó Corráin and funding by DCU, Universities Ireland and Research Ireland. Leaving X in a few days for Bluesky - can't stay here! Thanks, everyone.
Currently over half way through “Poor” by @katrionaos - if you haven’t read it, read it! You won’t be disappointed 😊
She was the keynote speaker at the conference today - left feeling not only speechless but so inspired 🥰
Delighted to say that I defended my PhD thesis today. Thanks to my examiners, Daniel Power and Peter Crooks, for their engagement and encouragement, and my supervisor Seán Duffy for all of his help! Excited for the next chapter.

Thinking about an MA in History in a vibrant and supportive environment? Consider our MA at DCU. Our students say it was a 'fantastic experience', that they felt 'valued', received 'expert supervision' and that it 'reinforced' their 'love for history'. https://t.co/4cjuynJOLU

Great day yesterday at @IrelandEmbGB to celebrate the award of @BAIrishStudies book prize for my biography of Charles Owen O’Conor, the O'Conor Don. Met some lovely fellow Irish studies folk & it was a delight to have my sisters Sinead & Breda with me to share the experience.
Very pleased to announce the programme for the 24th Conference of Irish Historians in Britain, at Hertford College Oxford from 5-7 July. Our theme is Humanitarianism and Irish History, and we have a great line-up.
