I am delighted to win this Economic and Social History Society of Ireland award with Michael Lawrence. It was such a great conference and it was inspiring to hear and meet so many new colleagues. Thanks also to UCD History and Catherine Cox. And go #Mohill!

As part of my work on the Markievicz Award I’m looking to speak with people from all over Ireland who were at houses dances, crossroads dances & dances in halls from roughly the 1930s - 60s period. Particularly those that might have stories from the impacts of the 1935 Dance🧵

Our annual conference will be held in the University of Galway. Our call for papers is open. All details here. Please share widely. We look forward to catching up with old friends and making new friends in #Galway. More info: [email protected]

This will be fun! The Anti-Jazz movement of 90 years ago had long-term impact, and Mohill was at its centre. Read about it at t.ly/cj_Co And if you’re near #Mohill on 1 Jan, do join us. As well as marching and dancing, we’ll recreate some of the speeches from 1934.

What a way to kick off 2024. History and a bit of hedonism! #Mohill threw itself into Anti-Jazz with brilliant banners, speeches, costumes, and danced into 2024 with the outstanding Ciaran Wilde #Jazz band. Read about the original march of 1 Jan 1934 at mohill.com
