For the first installment of Conversations on Europe for Spring 2023, join us and the University of Pittsburgh for an interactive virtual roundtable discussion on what to expect in the Artistic Exploration and Negotiation of Irish Nationalism in the Context of EU Membership.

Ireland's relationships with Europe have safeguarded features of national identity from the early twentieth century to present as the region negotiated its long-standing and historically fraught relationship with the United Kingdom. In recent years, Ireland's role in the EU has further solidified these regional relationships as a counterpoint to its tangled politics with the UK, especially in complex concepts of national identity in Northern Ireland. In the midst of ongoing political tumult in the UK and the complexity of Britain's extraction from the EU through Brexit, what does Irish nationalism look like today north and south of the border?

Conversation on Europe: "Artistic Exploration and Negotiation of Irish Nationalism in the Context of EU Membership and the Complications of Brexit”

Moderator: Jennifer Keating, Department of English, University of Pittsburgh
