My new article is out now in Civil War History! It retraces how Americans used the word 'conservative' and its cognates to litigate Reconstruction debates, and encourages historians to rethink the Conservative-Radical binary that structures our understanding of the era. muse.jhu.edu/article/988991

Should the US intervene to promote ‘liberty’ in the Western hemisphere? My new article in @diplomatichistory.bsky.social considers Irish Americans as active participants in the debate over whether the US should intervene in the Ten Years War in Cuba (1868-1878) academic.oup.com/dh/advance-a...

Excited to release the conference programme for 'Ireland and the American Revolution: 250th Anniversary Perspectives'. There are only a few tickets left, so if you would like to attend I would suggest getting one as soon as possible. Attendance is free but booking is essential.

Irish Americans made the Franco-Prussian war a cause célèbre - one claimed the ‘Irish people have a quarrel of seven hundred years to fight out with England - now the underhand ally of Prussia’ and ‘should wish success to France, which has always been their friend and the foe of England’

New article! ‘“No race hate here”? Irish national identity and racism in the mid twentieth century’ just published online in Irish Historical Studies. Explores Irish attitudes to race and racism, including an ugly spate of racist attacks in Dublin during 1963-64. Open access: doi.org/10.1017/ihs....

My latest article is out in @thejerpano.bsky.social This is the story of one immigrant, Mathew Carey, and how he grappled with exceptionalist, exclusionary narrative of the American founding, to claim a place for Catholics in the United States. muse.jhu.edu/pub/12/artic... @iehs.bsky.social
