@erin-paris3.bsky.socialReposted by @ciaranon.bsky.socialDear all, a chairde, Please find here the programme of the Paris Lille Irish Seminar for 2026–2027. PLIS is the joint seminar organised by the ERIN team at Université Sorbonne Nouvelle and the Aire Irlande team at Université de Lille, previously known as the Irish Thursdays / Aire Irlande seminars.
@ciaranon.bsky.socialSorry to read this. Nini was researching Irish connections to enslavement and abolition long before anyone else in the field and we all owe her such an enormous debt for doing all that foundational work. It was one of the great, not-heralded-enough, contributions to modern Irish history.

Happy to answer any questions. #IrishStudies 🗃️
