Religion has played a pivotal role in shaping Ireland’s political economy, especially through community-building and conflict. The division between Christian denominations impacted access to education, capital, and political power, as well as the distribution of wealth. These divisions were a catalyst for armed conflicts throughout Irish history, including the 1798 Rebellion, the Revolutionary Decade and the Troubles. These were born out of, and subsequently reinforced, a landscape where religious identity was closely tied to economic outcomes and opportunities. This workshop will explore these and similar themes.
This workshop will be held online over Zoom, and links will be circulated closer to the time. To register your interest in attending, please email cephoutreach@tcd.ie
