Professor Mary Mullen visits University of Notre Dame for a panel on her recently published book "Race, Violence and Form: Reframing Nineteenth-Century Ireland"

On Wednesday September 9th, Professor Mary Mullen visited the Keough-Naughton Institute at the University of Notre Dame for a panel discussion of her recently published co-edited volume Race, Violence and Form: Reframing Nineteenth-Century Ireland. Working alongside co-editor Renée Fox and contributor Amy Mulligan, Professor Mullen's book aims to deepen understanding of the often-overlooked literature of nineteenth-century Ireland by "employing new methodological frameworks that expand how we understand the global, racial, formal, periodized, and political scope" of works from the era.


The book is indebted to the work of retired University of Notre Dame Professor Sara Maurer, who Professor Mullen says "helped dreamed up the collection."
