E-mail: b.hanley@qub.ac.uk
Brian Hanley studied history at Trinity College Dublin where he received both his BA (1997) and PhD (2002). From 2002-2004 he was a Government of Ireland Post-Doctoral Fellow at the National University of Ireland at Maynooth. Since 2001 he has taught history at the National College of Ireland, Trinity College Dublin and NUI Maynooth.
Research Interests
His research has focused on Twentieth Century Irish republicanism, particularly the politics and activity of the Irish Republican Army after 1923. He is currently completing Lost Revolution (co-authored with Scott Millar) a study of the Official IRA and the Workers Party, to be published in 2009. He is also writing on the events of August 1969, the IRA’s role in them and how this has been remembered by historians and commentators. He is interested in Irish republicanism in the United States, especially Irish republican attitudes to American political issues. Debates regarding radicalism, labour and nationalist culture during the Irish Revolution form another area of interest.
