Do you know someone who moved from Northern Ireland to Britain? Or perhaps a child of Northern Irish migrants in GB?

We are conducting a final round of oral history interviews for our project. Email: [email protected]

Please share!

@Daibhidh_M Hi Roland, I'd be interested in hearing more about your family's story. Could you drop me an email at: [email protected] ? Looking forward to hearing from you, cheers!

We're still looking for interviewees for a project about Northern Irish migration to Britain. Especially interested, at this stage, in speaking to '2nd-gen' people, so the children of people who migrated. Share, contact me here, usual crack!

[Voices, Brogues and Tongues @IrishTongues]

Well this is right up our street @CorriganKaren @katelewismairs !! Looking forward to keeping tabs on this exciting project.

Great to see some of our initial research published. Have a read to hear how accent has been presented by some of our interviewees.

[Writing the 'Troubles' @TroublesWriting]

'Do you think you’ll manage... coming from Northern Ireland?' @FearghusR and @jcrangle13 explore the experiences of Northern Irish migrants in Britain during the 'Troubles' and the role of accent within ideas of subjectivity, identity and belonging. https://t.co/E4DwgXE8fP
