TRINITY COLLEGE DUBLIN AND CARLOW COLLEGE
THE MICHAEL SLATTERY LECTURES, 2008
‘RE-INTERPRETING REBELLION IN IRISH HISTORY’
Link to School of Histories and Humanities in Trinity College Dublin
This lecture series is the first product of the new strategic partnership between Trinity College Dublin and Carlow College which was signed in November 2007. The programme will consist of twelve evening lectures to be offered by members of the History Department of Trinity College Dublin in Carlow College. The series entitled ‘Re-interpreting Rebellion in Irish History’ will examine four periods of war and revolution in Irish history, providing both an introductory overview and fresh insight into recent research on these decisive moments in the formation of modern Ireland. Each week there will be a different historian whose talk will be followed by an extended question and answers session. Each week’s theme will be supported by a specially prepared pack which will be available online or in hardcopy to those enrolled on the course. A Carlow College certificate of attendance will be issued to those who attend the entire course.
The lectures will run on Tuesdays from 8 Jan. to 11 March, with the final two sessions on 1 and 8 April 2008. The lectures will take place from 6.30-8.30 pm. The first hour will be a formal lecture. The second hour will be given over to a question and answer session. The fee for the series is 120 euro [10 euro for each two hour session], discounted to 90 euro [7.50 euro for each session] for unwaged, old age pensioners, etc. All enquiries in relation to the course should be addressed to the Front Office at Carlow College (phone 059-9153200 or email infocc@carlowcollege.ie).
