Researching marginalized histories of gender and sexualities
Event Information
About this event
Dr. McAuliffe will discuss how we need to move beyond traditional history methodologies to research gender, LGBT and trauma (especially women’s trauma) histories – using gendered and sexual violence during the war of independence as a case study.

She completed her BA (Hons) and PhD at the School of History and Humanities, Trinity College, Dublin (TCD). She is the co-author on 'We were There; 77 Women of the Easter Rising' (Four Courts, 2016) and co-editor of 'Kerry 1916; Histories and Legacies of the Easter Rising' (IHP, 2016) and has aspects of Irish women's history, on gender and war, memory and history, oral history, social and political history, public history.
