The TCD Centre for Contemporary Irish History promotes an inclusive, dynamic, and innovative field of learning and research, which speaks critically and creatively to past, present and future worlds. It is a creative space that develops international and national networks, prioritising collaborations for funding, teaching and research initiatives. The Centre builds on TCD's expertise in key areas such as empire, colonial legacies, the Irish Revolution, the Troubles, the history of gender, welfare, institutions, everyday life, violence and migration. It also supports those developing new approaches in these fields and those shaping new and nascent areas of research for the future.
The Centre is particularly keen to foster all-island research and collaboration, and sponsoring researchers who wish to apply for the Trinity Long Room Hub Fellowships. It is also interested in working with and supporting suitably qualified candidates seeking either PhD and post-doctoral funding.

This work is often showcased and discussed at our weekly seminar series, which is generously hosted by the Trinity Long Room Hub Arts & Humanities Research Institute, and is open to all interested in participating, including academic staff, researchers, students and visitors.
