Kevin Whelan: "The 1916 Rebellion in a Wider Perspective"
Monday, April 18, 20166:30 PM
American Irish Historical Society
991 Fifth Avenue
New York, NY 10028
Kevin Whelan will deliver his lecture, "The 1916 Rebellion in a Wider Perspective" at the American Irish Historical Society. This illustrated lecture considers the 1916 Rising in Ireland as the military culmination of a longer political, social and cultural revolution that should be set within wider international, imperial and military contexts. The Rising should not be viewed through an exclusively Irish lens: it involved several international actors – the British Empire, the protagonists of the First World War, the Women’s Movement, the Catholic Church, and socialism. Ignited by international as well as national forces, its outcome must also be assessed in terms of the arid post-war settlement that contributed to interwar fascism and authoritarianism. This lecture deploys a wider geographical horizon and a longer time frame to contextualise the 1916 Rising.
This event is free and open to the public. The American Irish Historical Society and the Queens College Irish Studies Program are co-sponsoring this event.
IMPORTANT: Please RSVP through the American Irish Historical Society's Evite!

Dr. Melanie Brown
"Dublin Jewish Spaces, Faces and Places"
An Illustrated History of the Jewish Community of Dublin from the Time of Cromwell to the Present Day
Co-Sponsored with the Jewish Studies Program
Dr. Melanie Brown co-ordinates the ongoing Dublin Oral History Project, a voluntary undertaking whose remit is to chart the lived experience of Dublin’s Jewish community in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, of which she is a part. The Dublin Jewish Oral History Project was conceived by the Jewish Representative Council of Ireland in 2010, as a response to the imperative to capture life stories of members of the aging and rapidly diminishing Jewish community of Dublin. Dr. Brown was invited to coordinate this project on a voluntary basis in 2011, with over forty interviews conducted since, mainly in Dublin but also in the UK, the USA, Canada and Israel. Among the themes which have emerged are Jewish communal, religious and secular life in Dublin; education; emigration; philo-Semitism and anti-Semitism in Ireland.
Dr. Brown was formerly the Composer-in-Residence with the National Chamber Choir of Ireland, and is currently a Local Centre Examiner at the Royal Irish Academy of Music, Dublin. Her principal research interests include Irish Jewish culture and identity, and both oral and documented Jewish history in Ireland from 1660 to the present, topics upon which she frequently presents and publishes to an international audience.

Irish-American Book Club. Professor Janet Butler Munch will lead a discussion and conversation with Maura Mulligan, author of The Call of the Lark.
Reviewers are saying: “A beautifully drawn and evocative memoir full of rich detail. Call of the Lark perfectly captures the unique atmosphere of rural Mayo. A wonderful read, and a great historical resource.” – Kate Kerrigan, author of ELLIS ISLAND
"CALL OF THE LARK gives the reader that rare gift that only truly imaginative writing can bestow: the sense of having stepped live into another world. A remarkable memoir.” –Kathleen Hill, author of WHO OCCUPIES THIS HOUSE and STILL WATERS IN NIGER.
“Maura Mulligan opens a dusty window on a number of worlds. In clear, luminous prose she tells a dry-eyed story of redemption that lifts both the heart and soul. An essential, revealing chapter in the Irish-American story.”– Larry Kirwan, author of GREEN SUEDE SHOES and ROCKIN’ THE BRONX

THE MCGOWAN TRILOGY tells of Irish revolutionary Victor McGowan; cold blooded, warm-hearted and conflicted. In DANCING AT LUNACY, McGowan ignores court martial protocol. In THE LONG WET GRASS, McGowan is forced to choose between his commitment to the cause and a woman who was his childhood companion. In BOYS SWAM BEFORE ME, McGowan faces painful revelations from his past.
