Centenary Conversations: Episode 5 - Immigration
Northern Ireland is often described as having ‘two communities’. With sectarian divisions dominating Irish society at the time of partition, the experiences of the new state’s immigrant population can easily be forgotten. In this episode, Ryan Mallon is joined by Dr Jack Crangle of the University of Manchester to discuss the lives, politics, and experiences of Northern Ireland’s Jewish and Italian communities after 1921.
Katie Tate, a postgraduate researcher at QUB, joins Ryan Mallon to discuss her work on the wives of the Governors of Northern Ireland. Despite being constrained by their gender and the turbulent politics of post-partition Northern Ireland, these women used their privileged position to exercise ‘soft power’ over the new state’s society.
