Description

“The Robert T. Farrell Lecture” is named after the distinguished former Professor of English, Archaeology and Medieval Studies at Cornell University, in honor of his commitment to multi-disciplinary research in medieval Ireland. The 2019 Farrell Lecturer is Dr. Kieran O’Conor (National University of Ireland, Galway) who will deliver a 40-minute address on recent collaborative scholarship at NUI Galway that builds on the work of the late Dr. John Bradley (Maynooth University), eminent historian and archeologist of medieval Irish towns. Dr. Thomas Finan (St. Louis University) will offer a 20-minute response, and the remainder of the time will be left for discussion and questions from the audience. Westley Follett
