Fearghal McGarry studied history at University College, Dublin, and Trinity College, Dublin. He taught Irish history at Trinity, 1997-2000, before holding a Government of Ireland post-doctoral fellowship at the National University of Ireland, Maynooth, 2000-2002. He joined the School of History at Queen’s in 2002. He was joint editor of Irish Historical Studies (2008-2013).
Dr McGarry’s research focuses on twentieth-century Ireland, particularly radical ideology and political violence. His first book examined Irish responses to the Spanish Civil War and he has written biographies of the socialist republican, Frank Ryan, and fascist politician, Eoin O’Duffy. His recent research focuses on the revolutionary period. He has completed a history of the Easter Rising and an edited collection of the Bureau of Military History’s witness statements on 1916. He is also interested in commemoration, public history and historical memory. He is currently working on a publication exploring the relationship between the Abbey Theatre and the Irish revolution. He is PI of an AHRC-funded project titled 'Document file, public history and education in Northern Ireland'.
