Irish Lives in War and Revolution

Trinity's successful MOOC 'Irish Lives in War and Revolution: 1912-1923' will run again from mid-March to Easter 2016. This is an ideal way to gain a broader understanding of the issues surrounding the Easter Rising and an appreciation of how ordinary people's lives were affected by the social, political and military turmoil of those years.

The MOOC will be available to anyone with internet access across multiple devices including desktops, tablets and smartphones. The six-week innovative course, in collaboration with FutureLearn, will enable students all over the world to experience a Trinity education.

The MOOC will widen access to education, with dynamic content delivered by our history lecturers. Watch a trailer and register for the course here: https://www.tcd.ie/OnlineEducation/free-online-course.

The Dead of the Irish revolution

Eunan O'Halpin and Daithí Ó Corráin are joint authors of this important book which is the result of a major research project funded by the Irish Research Council. The purpose of this project was to identify, and individually to describe, almost all fatalities arising from Irish political violence between 1916 and December 1921. Some of the results have already appeared in David Fitzpatrick (ed.), Terror in Ireland, 1916-1923 (Dublin: Lilliput, 2012) and James Kelly and Marian Lyons (eds.), Death and Dying in Ireland, Britain and Europe: historical perspectives (Sallins: Irish Academic Press, 2013). The book is expected to appear this year.
