James Quinn (DIB): ‘Irish soccer and the rhetoric of unity, 1973- 93: where did it all go wrong?’

Dr James Quinn joined the Dictionary of Irish Biography (DIB) project in 1995 and played a key role in its landmark launch in 2009. In 2012 James became the DIB's Managing Editor, a role he held until his retirement in July 2022. In addition to writing more than 270 DIB entries, his research interests mainly focused on eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Irish history. He has written books on the United Irishman Thomas Russell (2002), the Young Irelander John Mitchel (2008), and published Young Ireland and the writing of Irish history in 2015, as well as contributing to journals and collections on aspects of political and cultural history, biography and historiography.

This event will be both in-person in the Irish Studies Seminar Room, 27 University Square, and online via MS Teams.
