Atlantic Disruptions: Ireland and the US Beyond Brexit

Dartmouth College 10-11 March 2020

The symposium will bring together speakers from Ireland and the US to consider disruptions in transatlantic affairs and how Irishness is being positioned and performed in relation to these. It will broadly take up questions of paradigm change occasioned or accelerated by Brexit and related disruptions in transatlantic affairs, including matters of immigration and borders, populism and ethnonationalism, and race and class discontents. And so, we hope to shape some conversations at Dartmouth around this turbulence.
