Judging Redmond and Carson US lectures

06 February 2018

Professor Alvin Jackson will be visiting the United States in March and April to discuss his new book.

Professor Jackson will take part in the Bualadh Boston festival on Saturday, 3 March, and will also deliver a lecture on “John Redmond and Edward Carson: Bloodshed, Borders and the Union State” at Princeton University on Friday, 27 April. More details about both events at the links below.

Boston, 3 March, 3pm.
Princeton, 27 April, 4.30pm.

Judging Redmond and Carson is the fifth in the Royal Irish Academy's ‘Judging’ series and the first dual and comparative biography of Redmond and Carson. The book uses both new approaches and much new evidence to shed fresh light on their sometimes fraught private lives, their professional and political achievements, and their stands on violence and war. The result is a strikingly original reassessment of the two men and their legacies.
