I am a student in Trinity College Dublin, in Second Year studying History. I am an all rounder with wide interests in history but no specific field of interest (Though I tend to look at history from a social and cultural perspective)

I am interested in political issues, though generally from the comfort of an armchair, and most of my arguments seem to coincide with when I am under the influence of alcohol. I voted in the last election for the Green Party candidate in my constituency, and am a registered member of the Irish Green party. My commitment to tackling Climate Change and environmental issues, is again, sadly, tied to brief moments of aspirational conversation when under the influence of alcohol. I tend not to recycle or engage in any of the other traits one would associate with an environmentalist. In short order, I vote for the Greens as a result of a guilt complex due to my extraordinary laziness in terms of making an individual impact on the worlds environment.  
I am a history student in Dublin, Ireland, currently in third year. In a dream scenario I would like to remain in university for the rest of my life, in one form or another, as a lecturer or researcher. However, its likely that worldly distractions like money (And lack thereof) will raise its ugly head.  


My long term goal (Although again, it is important to seperate goal from aspiration) is the creation of a joke political party such as that in the UK (ie, The Raving Loony Party), where we would dress up in silly hats and campaign in important by-elections, poking fun at the political establishment.  
I am principally a history author, though have dabbled in Politics here as well.

Also, feel free to add to the list. I will add to it as I think of new topics. I know there are things here that I have overlooked.

I am a history student in Dublin, Ireland, currently in third year. In a dream scenario I would like to remain in university for the rest of my life, in one form or another, as a lecturer or researcher. However, its likely that worldly distractions like money (And lack thereof) will raise its ugly head.

I am principally a history author, though have dabbled in Politics here as well.

Some may place me in a vague 'liberal' school of historical thought. Frankly, I just read, and let the evidence write itself.

The course of Irish history, 1912 - 1924

This is following on from a list I had up here some time ago, but much more specialised. Its not exactly linear or accurate, just a list of topics which spring to mind and hopefully (Some day) will get written. The difference between this list and the one I used to have up is that this one focuses on a very narrow ten year period, a decade of metamorphis for the budding Irish nation. Also, feel free to add to the list. I will add to it as I think of new topics. I know there are things here that I have overlooked. I hope that not too far in the future there will be an Irish history workgroup.

At the moment I'll be doing a lot of work in this particular area. I intend to dabble into the crusades and 18th/19th century historians (Gibbon, Gibbon, Gibbon!) at some point also.
