The Institute of Irish Studies, University of Liverpool, is delighted to welcome Patrick Griffin (Madden-Hennebry Professor of History; Thomas Moore and Judy Livingston Director, Keough-Naughton Institute for Irish Studies) for a public lecture on 10 February 2022.
Professor Griffin's talk will explore the fistic and political culture of Five Points New York by focusing on one of the areas most notable combatants: Yankee Sullivan. It will also explore the interpretive possibilities of studying fighters in the context of the Irish diaspora and the fluid political world of 1840s New York.
