Glucksman Ireland House NYU

Brilliant colloquium organized by Joseph Nugent and Patrick Mullen for Bloomsday in Paris, hosted at the Irish Embassy. The event featured engaging panels, lectures, and conversations, including a panel moderated by our own Kelly Sullivan!

It was so special to cap off an exciting semester of events with the 26th Annual Ernie O’Malley Lecture. Thank you to all who joined us, and to Damian Shiels for presenting on “Green and Blue: Irish Americans in the Union Military 1861-1865.”

Go raibh míle maith agaibh to all for such an engaging semester at GIH! We are so grateful for the support of our Ireland House community.

Join us for the Annual Ernie O'Malley Lecture featuring Damian Shiels.

In this lecture, Shiels will explore the range and extent of Irish service during the conflict, and explain how Irish American enlisted men navigated their duties from multiple perspectives--including how they adapted to and experienced military life, how they engaged with their faith, how they interacted with the home front, and how they saw themselves and the cause for which they fought.
