In order to mark the centenary of the partitioning of Ireland, Queen’s University Belfast organised and hosted a major series of online public talks. The series was supported by the UK Government and the Irish Government, and by the British Academy and the Royal Irish Academy. The talks were recorded and produced by the BBC and released on a weekly basis from 26 April – 4 October 2021.
The series addresses a diverse range of major themes, including the complex origins and legacies of partition, the Irish border in literature, the experience of minorities, and class-based and gender-based perspectives.
