IHSA 74th Annual Conference 2023

The IHSA Carlow College, St Patrick’s Organising Committee wishes to express their gratitude to all of the keynotes, senior academics and Carlow College Staff for their support and guidance in preparing for this event. Particular appreciation to Dr Ida Milne – without her IHSA CCSP 2023 would have never occurred; thanks Ida. A special shout-out to Julie and the Carlow College catering staff for all the efforts in providing refreshments. Likewise, we’d like to say thank you to the IHSA committee, especially Dr Sarah-Anne Buckley and Dr Dónal Ó Catháin as their commitment to this organisation allows for early career researchers to present their important work in a collegial environment every year – this annual event demonstrates the great breadth of research underway on this Island and the event is a credit to the field! To our sponsors, of course, a massive thank you for much needed financial support. We were grateful to receive funding from IHSA, The Irish Committee of Historical Sciences (ICHS), The Women’s History Association of Ireland (WHAI), and Carlow College St Patrick’s.
