Our efforts to tell the story of Irish America are being led by a group of Irish and American historians assembled by Prof. Darragh Gannon from Georgetown University, the co-director of its Global Irish Studies program. These historians are writing a series of essays on the Irish American experience – including the many strands that link our two nations together.
