Den 7. Oktober er der forelæsning om Irland på folkeuni i Århus!
Fra 2012-2022 er Irland i gang med et officielt 'erindringsårti', der tager temperaturen på nationen efter 100 års selvstændighed. I en tid hvor statuer er brændpunkter, kolonitidens aftryk optegnes skarpt og spørgsmål om klasse, køn og race flettes sammen til kritik og konflikt, er Irlands eksperiment med at gøre historien op fantastisk spændende. Kom og hør mere om hvor de gjorde af Dronning Victoria efter de rev sig løs fra Storbritannien, hvordan kvinder og andre befolkningsgrupper nu bliver lokaliseret og skrevet ind i historien og hvordan Irland finder sig til rette med en Britisk imperie historie de både har været offer for og deltaget i. (Selvfølgelig altsammen i lyset af Brexit!).
Irlands historie – fortiden som kikkert, kastebold og klods om benet Irland mindes i disse år en række begivenheder, der banede vejen for national selvstændighed i perioden 1912-1922. Historiebøgerne skrives om, nye mindesmærker bliver opført, og ’nationen’ husker og genopfinder sig selv. Sammenfletningen af forskellige stemmer, positioner og fortolkninger ...

Sara Dybris McQuaid kommenterer på, at en samlet Nordirsk regering endelig er genoplivet efter 3 års lammelse i Nordirlands politik, og hvilken betydning dette kan have i Brexit-kølvandet.
Nordirland får en regering efter tre års politisk lammelse: 'Ufatteligt vigtigt', siger ekspert Genåbningen af parlamentet kan påvirke både brexit og chancerne for et forenet Irland.
