Eve Morrison

She is a twentieth century historian with a major scholarly and pedagogical interest in political and military history, especially the ‘two-island’ and imperial context of British and Irish history, the interaction between local and national contexts, and various theoretical concerns and scholarship relating to political violence and war, memory studies, cultural and oral history. Her research to date has focussed on violence and insurgency and the interplay between public narratives of historical events (including commemoration), private memory and contemporary sources. Kilmichael: The Life and Afterlife of an Ambush, her first monograph, analyses the history, historiography and memory relating to a famous and exceptionally controversial IRA action during the Irish War of Independence. From 2018 to September 2021, she was Canon Murray Fellow of Irish History at the University of Oxford and from January to June 2023 she was a visiting professor at Boston College, Massachusetts.
