HIDDEN: History of Identity Documentation in European Nations: Citizenship, Nationality and Migration | PI | European Cooperation in Science & Technology (COST) / Proposal | Identity documentation has come to feature in every part of modern life. The History of Identity Documentation in European Nations (HIDDEN) network unites scholars in history, migration studies, geography, sociology, law, linguistics, postcolonial studies, human rights and more to look at the history of ID regimes in Europe and beyond, drawing connections between the past and present. In the context of UN Sustainable Development Goal 16.9 that everyone should have a legal identity by 2030, and the rise of new forms of biometric digital ID, such as the Covid-19 vaccination certificates, it is timely that an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary group of scholars critically examine the antecedents of modern systems and contemporary practices which can increase societal inequalities. | 01-NOV-22 | 31-OCT-26 | 124899.2 | |

DIGGING FOR GOLD’: IRISH BUILDERS IN POST-WAR LONDON - REPRESENTATION AND REALITY | PI | Irish Research Council (IRC) / Government of Ireland Postgraduate Scholarship | Existing socio-economic histories take scant account of the experiences of Irish migrants in rebuilding post-war Britain. My research will fill this curious lacuna in the migrant history of Ireland. Spanning the period 1945-1995, and focused on the modern conurbation of London, it will sift reality from the stereotypical representations of cultural memory. The archetypes of Irish migrant builders in war-torn London; ‘McAlpine’s Fusiliers’, ‘Murphy’s Rangers’, ‘Pincher Macs’ and their like, are rooted in the complex corporate, social and cultural networks of the construction industry; the projects, contractors and formal/informal subcontract arrangements which flourished during reconstruction. These histories have been mythologised through constant remediation; via folklore, song, news media, prose fiction and drama. This research examines the factual evidence behind these stories, enabling us to compare and contrast representation with reality and determine the underlying cultural discourses which shaped these migrants. Newly-researched primary evidence gathered from the various existing public and corporate archives and my own semi-structured oral interviews will challenge the culturally and politically enshrined narratives of this period of Irish migration. My research will demonstrate: (1) that the root causes of the post-war Irish saturation of UK construction lie in the political, economic, social and cultural difficulties of post-revolutionary Ireland (2) that the reality of the lived experience for London-Irish construction workers was more complex and diverse and, on the whole, positive than ‘folklore’ tells it; (3) that the Irish have impacted significantly on London’s regeneration but in deeper and more permanent ways than cultural memory suggests; (4) that an appreciable majority of those labelled ‘forgotten Irish’ discreetly built meaningful and rewarding lives, careers, businesses and cultural networks for themselves in London. Ambitious yet clearly feasible, this research helps highlight and redress the unpaid historical debt owed to the London Irish by both the Irish and British states. | 01-OCT-16 | 30-SEP-18 | 47962 | |
