UPDATE:

Prof. Wood's talk, 'Debating the Barbarian Settlement: The Origins of a Historical Problem' will take place on Friday 13 November at 5.30; the reception will begin at 5.


Our plenary speaker has been confirmed as Ian Wood, Professor of Early Medieval History at the University of Leeds. Prof. Woods will be speaking about his new book, which deals with the historiography of the Fall of the Roman Empire. The work addresses both the formation of the barbarian kingdoms, and why they are described in the way that they are, covering polices of the eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

The speech will take place in the Moore Institute, Arts Concourse, NUIG; time to be confirmed. A cheese and wine reception will be provided beforehand.
