| Project title | Ireland, empire and education |
| Summary | The project seeks to initiate a programme of research on the role of Irish universities and other institutions of higher education in shaping imperial, colonial and global processes between the 1850s and the 1930s, and will focus on the links between irish and colonial universities and colleges. Although Ireland was not yet an industrial society in the 1850s, had only a patchy secondary school system and few university places, Irish HEIs came to play a distinctive role in the development of imperial and colonial systems of rule, a role they continued to play until the second quarter of the twentieth century. This project will examine the impact of such developments on Irish society at a crucial period of Ireland’s political transformation from part-colony to post-colony, on the advancement of modern imperialism and colonialism, and on the development of modern knowledge systems. |
