The School of History is delighted to announce the publication of a series of blogs arising from our 25 May event on the UCC/CSO Census Event

The School of History is proud to host the Second Annual Dermot Keogh Memorial Lecture in the Aula Maxima at 6:00 PM on Wednesday, 7 October 2026. The focus on this occasion will relate to Professor Keogh’s European Studies legacy. His work on Ireland and European integration is foundational, and he was deeply absorbed by events across Europe. The speaker for the memorial lecture, RTÉ Europe Editor Tony Connelly, will bring some of these matters up to the present day, as European unity is being increasingly undermined and governments across the European Union are left facing into major challenges.

Demand exceeded all expectations as an estimated 400 people attended Cork Histories, a UCC School of History public conference, held over two days on 11-12 September 2026. Designed to be inclusive and accessible, connecting academic research with community knowledge and public curiosity, the event brought together a wide range of speakers to explore the rich history of Cork and its people.
