[Polish Embassy IRL @PLinIreland]

Last night we launched a historical exhibition on Professor Jan Lukasiewicz, leading Polish philosopher/logician and post-war refugee to Ireland. The exhibition produced by @PLinIreland and hosted by @RIAdawson was officially opened by @eamonocuiv. Thank you to all involved

[Róisín Healy @RHealyHist]

Couldn't agree more! Not to mention Prussia.

[Vincent Morley @vmstarai]

I look forward to reading this. The best historical comparators for Ireland are neither the imperial powers of western Europe, nor their colonies outside of Europe, but European countries that were subject to imperial rule (Russian, Turkish, Habsburg, etc.) for prolonged periods.

Ireland's brain grain -- Ukrainian refugee scholars reflect @MooreInst @iarcees symposium on Ukrainian history and the nature of evil @historyatgalway

Professor of Philosophy, Oleksandr Kulyk of @MaynoothUni: the passive evil is a refusal to take sides, a refusal to do anything, a refusal to #StandWithUkraine
