Please join BSU Irish Studies on Thursday, March 19 for presentations at 2 pm and 5 pm by Dr. Barry Houlihan, University Archivist at the University of Galway.

Dr. Houlihan will discuss Northern Ireland today through the lens of literature and film to unveil legacies of the Troubles. Examining work by Seamus Heaney, Louise Kennedy, Brian Friel, and considering popular television, such as Derry Girls, Dr. Houlihan will discuss the role archives play in preserving and protecting historical memory by giving voice to the voiceless and to those censored by authoritative power.

He will be joined by Dr. Ellen Scheible, Dr. Orson Kingsley, and Professor John Mulrooney in a panel discussion after the 5pm event.

2:00 - 3:15 pm: 'Say Nothing’: Excavating Silence and Memory in Contemporary Irish Culture (Dr. Barry Houlihan)

5:00 - 6:00 pm: Censorship and Power: Marginalized Voices from the Archives (Dr. Barry Houlihan in discussion with Ellen Scheible, John Mulrooney, and Orson Kingsley)

6:00-7:00 pm: Live Irish music with Stephen Lindsay

Both events are open to the public and food and beverages will be available. For additional information please contact Orson Kingsley at [email protected].
