The Irish Famine in a Contemporary Global Context

The Great Famine (1845-52) was the most transformative event in modern Irish history, yet it also looms large in the global history of hunger with resonances up to the present day. This one-day history workshop explores the meaning of the Irish Famine in this wider context, adopting a comparative lens and drawing on parallels from across the field of contemporary famine studies. Led by Dr. Peter Hession, social historian and faculty fellow at NYU.
