Dr. Robert O'Sullivan will share an overview of his monograph, Nationalism, Imperialism and Anti-Slavery: The Irish-American Press in the Era of Emancipation, 1840-1865, followed by responses from Prof. Enda Delaney (University of Edinburgh), Prof. Amy Greenberg (Penn State), and Prof. Stephanie McCurry (Columbia University).
Dr. O’Sullivan’s monograph explores the writings and activism of a series of Irish-American newspaper editors and their readers, and examines how they contributed to the process by which Irish immigrant, diasporic identity took root in the United States, by engaging with political developments across the globe. In addition, the monograph assesses why the Irish-American editors rejected the American abolitionist movement and anti-slavery politics in the United States, when they were so willing to draw connections between Ireland and other areas within the 19th century imperial world and to cross the color line when drawing explicit comparisons between the Irish and other victims of global imperialism.
About Rob O'Sullivan
Robert O’Sullivan is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at The Keough-Naughton Institute for Irish Studies. He completed his doctoral dissertation at the University of Cambridge in 2024, where he was the convenor of the Modern Irish History Seminar in the Faculty of History.

Come hear from Prof. William Viestenz explore the hidden social, political, and environmental ramifications of the ongoing "infrastructural turn" in recent cultural productions!
Following his presentation there will be an open discussion. So come with questions!
This paper argues that recent Catalan and Galician cultural production has made ‘visible’ the infrastructural turn that has emerged of late in literary studies following two decades of focused attention in the social sciences. Indeed, infrastructure is a particularly profitable vehicle for discussing what normally fades into the landscape to such an extent that it practically becomes unseen: though highways, canals, reservoirs, and railways surround everyday life and indeed make socialization, commerce, and global modernity possible, they are banal to the point of merging with the natural landscape, only garnering attention when they cease functioning. Such hiddenness in plain sight attends etymologically to the term itself: these are structures that “lie below”, at an infra-level, atop of which “real” life courses and unfurls. This paper proposes that Maica Rafecas’s El setembre i la nit (2021), Rodrigo Sorgoyen’s As bestas (2022), and Carla Simón’s Alcarràs (2022) each confirm Britton-Purdy’s assertion that human beings are an “infrastructure species”: anthropotechnic creatures who fashion the world through networked structures, which in turn condition the horizons of possibility for politics, the social, and humanity’s orientation towards non-human life and objects. In short, infrastructure produces the material and political worlds that determine what type of species the human being constitutes. In the works listed above, competing ecological, economic, and cultural demands over the technosphere bring to light how the infrastructure turn in Iberian Studies has the potential to suture together a host of other emerging themes in the field: tourism, environmental studies, object-oriented analysis, and returns to the rural.

As part of the Dynamic Translation Lab, Professor Clíona Ní Ríordáin is co-organizing a symposium to mark the 30th anniversary of the publication of the influential book Translating Ireland by Michael Cronin. This is a collaborative project that involves the Keough-Naughton Institute, Notre Dame Dublin, the Royal Irish Academy, Literature Ireland, and the University of Galway. The event will feature a 40-person seminar with an international cohort of academics, including participants from the US, the UK, Canada, and Ireland. Sessions are open to the public.
Michael Cronin's ground-breaking book Translating Ireland was published by Cork University Press 30 years ago. It offered innovative and incisive analysis of the role translation and translators played in on the island of Ireland from the middle ages to the twentieth century. Acknowledging the role translation played as "a weapon of political propaganda, a catalyst for cultural renewal," the volume drew attention to the central role translation played in the contact zone between languages and the way in which it shaped the development of language of literature and the construction of identity in Ireland. This conference responds to the work of Michael Cronin in Translating Ireland and re-evaluates the position and role of translation and translators in contemporary Ireland.

The Center for Italian Studies is pleased to host a lecture by Professor Francesco Ciabattoni of Georgetown University, titled:
Dante's Performative Poetics
The lecture focuses on how Dante Commedia's represents medieval theatricality such as dramatic dialogue, liturgical drama, music, and dance. The Inferno is constructed as a highly dialogic and theatrical space, where elements of sacred drama, Easter ritual, and carnivalesque culture combine to produce a dynamic and performative representation of punishment. The Purgatorio can be read as a poetic transposition of liturgical drama: processions, laude, dialogic conflicts, and scenes recalling the Visitatio sepulchri shape the purgatorial experience as a ritual spectacle of spiritual transformation. The Paradiso is interpreted as a vast cosmic theatre in which song, polyphony, and circular movements translate the ineffable into performative terms, culminating in the vision of the Empyrean as a celestial amphitheatre. Prof. Ciabattoni reads the Commedia as a poem deeply rooted in medieval performative culture, capable of making theological and metaphysical contents visible, audible, and experientially “lived” through the arts of performance.
Francesco Ciabattoni is the Term Professor in Italian Literature in Georgetown College, and a specialist in medieval Italian literature. He received his Laurea in Lettere from the Università degli Studi di Torino and his PhD in Italian Studies from Johns Hopkins University. Dr Ciabattoni’s research focus lies on Dante and the middle ages, Petrarch, Boccaccio, and the interplay of music and literature. Prof. Ciabattoni has published three monographs:
Ciabattoni, Francesco. La citazione è sintomo d'amore. Cantautori e memoria letteraria. Rome: Carocci, 2016.
Ciabattoni, Francesco. Dante’s Journey to Polyphony, University of Toronto Press, 2010. Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 2010.
In addition to several edited volumes such as:
The Decameron Third Day in Perspective: Volume Three of the Lectura Boccaccii. Edited by Francesco Ciabattoni & Pier Massimo Forni: University of Toronto Press, 2014.
L'Editio Princeps della Commedia (Foligno 1472). Edited by Francesco Ciabattoni & Alessandro Scarsella, Milan: Biblion, 2022.
Crocevia. Percorsi dell'Intermedialità. Edited by Francesco Ciabattoni, Fulvio Orsitto, and Simona Wright, LED, 2022.
Dante Alive: Essays on a Cultural Icon. Edited by Francesco Ciabattoni & Simone Marchesi, Routledge, 2022.
Prof. Ciabattoni has also published a collection of original poems (Paradosso terrestre, Il filo, 2008) as well as individual poems in such journals as Gradiva, In forma di parole, Breviario poetico, and Poesia. Prof. Ciabattoni is also the founder and director of https://theitaliansong.com/, the first bilingual website about Italian songwriters, with critical commentaries and translations.

After 28 years of service, Professor Kevin Whelan will be retiring from the University of Notre Dame summer 2026. To mark this occasion, he will deliver an Exaugural Lecture on Thursday 23 April at 6:30 pm in the Royal Irish Academy of Music (Westland Row), followed by a reception.
The illustrated lecture will be on The Unbeaten Path: The Magic of the Irish Landscape.
Kevin was the inaugural Director of Notre Dame Dublin, established in 1998. Since then, he has welcomed over four thousand Notre Dame students to Ireland. He encouraged them to experience Ireland off the beaten path, through the soles of their feet, taking walks on the wild side to reach the magical places that tourists never encounter. Whatever about the students, he enjoyed every minute of it, and this lecture offers a love poem to all the places that mean so much to him.
This last lecture under the auspices of Notre Dame seeks to explore the power of place, and to explain why we should consider the Irish landscape as our most precious treasure.
It is also designed to thank the unstinting kindness and generosity and support of friends and colleagues that was fundamental to everything the programme could do. They opened doors, opened their hearts and never said no to even the most outrageous requests.
The birds have vanished in the sky And now the last cloud drifts by We sit together, the mountain and me Until only the mountain remains.
Li Po, “Zazen on Ching-t’ing Mountain”
All are welcome. Please RSVP to dublin@nd.edu so we can keep track of numbers.

"A vision for realizing the promise of integral ecology and putting it into practice."
In his landmark encyclical on care for creation, Laudato Si', Pope Francis popularized the idea of integral ecology by connecting contemporary ecological concerns and church teachings on creation addressed by Catholic Social Thought. In Learning the Language of Creation, Franciscan Sister Damien Marie Savino, a professor of civil and environmental engineering and earth sciences, frames integral ecology as a pilgrimage guided by a process of listening and learning the language of creation.
In this book, she offers a new way of thinking about creation, human beings, and the relationship between them to realize the promise of integral ecology put into practice.
Sister Damien Marie will be joined in conversation with Mariana Silva, a PhD Candidate in Environmental Engineering at Trinity College Dublin, a Notre Dame graduate (BS Environmental Engineering, '21), a Naughton Fellow (MS Environmental Engineering, Trinity College Dublin, '22), and a member of the Newman University Church Parish Council.
Copies of the book will be available for purchase on the night.
Please note: This event will begin shortly after Taizé (6 - 7 pm), a weekly, ecumenical prayer service at Newman University Church. During Taizé style prayer, you can expect a candlelit church, meditative songs, silence, and readings. Feel free to join the community for Taizé before Sister Damien's talk.
Sister Damien Marie Savino is a Franciscan Sister of the Eucharist who holds a doctorate in Civil/Environmental Engineering and masters’ degrees in theology and soil science. Her interdisciplinary research interests include integral ecology and Catholicism, theology and science, technology and faith, ecological restoration, and resilience theory.
Currently she serves as the Melchor Visiting Research Professor in the College of Engineering at the University of Notre Dame, with a concurrent appointment in the McGrath Institute for Church Life. Sister Damien Marie is author of the 2025 book, Learning the Language of Creation: Catholic Social Teaching and Integral Ecology, available from Liturgical Press. She was also an editor and contributor to the 2023 book, Responding to the Global Pandemic as a Systemic Crisis: The Economy of Francesco as a New Paradigm. She has published and lectured widely, both nationally and internationally, on integral ecology, Laudato Si’ and creation care, the integration of science and faith, and questions of technology.
