The U.S. Studies Online Book Hour is a regular book talk among scholars, postgraduates, early-career researchers, and the public about recently published work in wider sense of American Studies.
On 30 May at 4pm BST, Dr Mary Burke will discuss her new book, Race, Politics, and Irish America: A Gothic History, which explores the Irish-American identity within the American context of race.
Dr Burke is a graduate of Trinity College Dublin and Queen’s University Belfast. Today, she is Professor of English at the University of Connecticut. Drawing on this background, she will also consider some of the main differences she has found between Irish/UK and US institutions and postgraduate programmes.
Book Hour is free to attend and open to everyone. Please reserve a free place to receive information about the Zoom meeting.
