About this event
You can find conference information, including programme and speaker bios on our conference website
This inter-disciplinary conference (IMEC) interrogates the complexities of Ireland’s relationship with the British Empire, and of Irish involvement in colonialism. It will connect researchers and practitioners interested in objects, archives, buildings, and landscapes in both public and private spaces and throughout the island of Ireland; and will inform current debates surrounding collections from formerly colonised regions.
IMEC is part of an ESRC-funded project on Museums, Empire and Northern Irish Identity at Queen’s University Belfast, taking place within the Institute of Irish Studies and Centre for Public History. The partners in the project are National Museums NI, the Irish Museums Association, Northern Ireland Museums Council and the Centre for the Study of Historic Irish Houses and Estates at Maynooth University.
Venue: Ulster Museum and Queen’s University Belfast.
