Ireland in Global Context

The Department has a long-held reputation for outstanding research on Ireland’s relationship with the outside world: from the study of empire to Ireland’s place in the Atlantic World and its relationship with Britain. We have recently broadened these transnational and comparative perspectives on Ireland to include its entanglements with central and eastern Europe and the Global South.
