Ireland was England’s oldest colony. Historian Jane Ohlmeyer unpicks Ireland’s complex relationship with empire – how imperial forces shaped the early-modern island and how Irish people became active agents in the empires of Britain, Spain, France and beyond.
She explores why now is the moment to revisit this history, in order to understand how it has formed the present and how it might shape the future.
‘Sheds fascinating light on Ireland’s role in what became the British Empire.’

Jane will be in conversation with journalist & author Kavita Puri.
