Workshop: Early Modern Irish Colleges: Migration, Religion and Politics, 13 November 2019
This workshop explores the religious, intellectual and political history of the global early modern Irish colleges from a transregional perspective. The idea is to explore the significance of global Irish diaspora in the Early Modern Period. A first set of presentations will explore the place of the Irish colleges within the intellectual community of the University of Louvain and the international networks of various religious organisations involved in Catholic missionary activities in Ireland,, such as the Society of Jesus and the Irish Mission. Secondly, by approaching Irish abroad colleges from the perspective of migration history, light will be shed on their significance in facilitating migration, highlighting how their students integrated into the society of their host towns. Finally, attention will be given to their role in supporting the Catholic cause in Ireland and its relations to Catholic communities in mainland Europe.
