Scotland and Ireland Conference

Scotland and Ireland Conference Bound together by geographical proximity, Scotland and Ireland are underscored by political, cultural and religious ties.

This one-day conference – taking place on 30th September 2017 – is an interdisciplinary opportunity to examine the historical, literary, cultural, religious and social ties between Scotland and Ireland in the modern period. But such interconnections are often typified by difference. Indeed, Scotland and Ireland can be seen as similarly different, from certain angles. English-speaking but not Engli

sh, and with comparable access to “other” languages, literatures and histories, Scotland and Ireland can stand at both the centre and periphery of an “Anglophone” world. But these are also nations marked by centres and peripheries of their own, with those outwith the capitals of Dublin and Edinburgh frequently cast as figures “beyond the pale.” Both nations negotiate with varieties of Britishness; with multiple and often divisive states of nationalism. As such, Scotland and Ireland are inherently and unavoidably interconnected. This conference seeks to explore these relationships.
