HistoryHub
Connecting past and present
Since 2011, researchers from a range of disciplines including History, Irish, English, Archaeology and Art History, have presented papers at Tudor and Stuart Ireland conferences. History Hub, in association with Real Smart Media, has produced more than 320 podcasts from these conferences.
History Hub presents a series of interviews between our editor Dr Irial Glynn and a number of leading experts on the history of xenophobia. The key question the series grapples with is: what causes xenophobia? Why are certain people hostile towards or afraid of immigrants or of people who come from different cultural backgrounds? Does it stem from anger related to a real or perceived decline in living standards? Does it reflect discomfort with the pace of social change or increasing societal diversity? Or is it connected to the arrival of charismatic and innovative politicians and well-organised far right parties?
The UCD Centre for the History of Medicine in Ireland (CHOMI) is based in the UCD School of History. CHOMI is an interdisciplinary research centre dedicated to the study of the medical humanities. Established in 2006, the Centre seeks to promote the study of the social and cultural history of medicine. Since it was setup CHOMI has been committed to the use of new media to engage with academic communities and interested publics. History Hub is delighted to host the Centre’s wonderful archive of podcasts and videos which are such an invaluable resource.
The recordings for ‘Sport and Ireland: A History’ were undertaken as a series of interviews between UCD historian Prof. Paul Rouse, and Joe Molloy, the award-winning presenter of ‘Off the Ball’ on Newstalk FM, and were broadcast live on radio.
The annual conference of the Women’s History Association of Ireland is one of the highlights of the history conference calendar. History Hub is delighted to partner with the WHAI in the production of videos and podcasts from the conference. These are now available on Soundcloud, Apple, Spotify and Youtube.
