1930s Ireland: New Departures and Old Animosities Group 1
[OLE3187]

Barry Sheppard, BA, MA, PhD 

Autumn 2024 

5 weekly sessions on Tuesdays 6.00 pm to 8.00 pm, starting 24 September 

The 1930s were a defining decade in modern history. On the island of Ireland, the decade was pivotal for the two Irish states. Under their respective governments, a decade after partition, two distinct State identities were being consolidated. Rooted in often competing nationalisms, the identities of each State were reflected in the physical landscape, social networks, religion, and employment and industry.  This five-week course examines some of the key themes and figures which shaped the decade. This will include employment and the depression, culture and public ritual, print media and broadcasting, and State infrastructure projects.
