[All Things History]
This site considers the discipline of history, including issues related to teaching, research, public history, archives, and museums. In keeping with my own research on Ireland and Britain, visitors will find more information related to this area. However, broader questions in the field will be addressed here as well.
Research Projects: I am currently working on two long-term projects, as well as a few short-term, including:
Irish Geolinguistics and GIS: A project to create historical shape files for
Ireland's nineteenth-century and present data related to Ireland's linguistic past.
Irish Censuses and the Irish Language: A re-examination of the well-documented
decline of the Irish language as measured in its 1851-1901 censuses.
Catholic Crosscurrents: English- and Irish-Language Devotional Writings, 1750-1850
Research into the English and Irish devotional printing business of the 18th and 19th centuries.
Teaching: Current pedagogical tinkering and updates related to teaching methods.
