Dr Máirín MacCarron, Senior Lecturer in the School of English and Digital Humanities, presented a lecture entitled 'Bede and Time' to the Cork Historical and Archaeological Society yesterday, 6 March 2024.
The lecture was based on MacCarron's book 'Bede and Time: Computus, Theology and History in the Early Medieval World' (Routledge: London and New York, 2020) which won the Irish Historical Research Prize 2021.
