- Bring your own Hammer: History, Music and Migrant Lives
- Whelehan, Niall (Principal Investigator)
- This project combines music, digital technologies and primary historical sources to engage with new audiences through the creation of an original song-cycle and website on the topic of migration. External collaborators include the musicians, the Verdant Works Museum, Scotland, the Irish Emigration Museum, Dublin, the University of Limerick, and the Irish Consulate General, Scotland. The reach and significance of the project’s impact will be substantial, aiming to change perceptions of Irish migration in profound ways. This project aims to be one of the three History impact case studies for the next REF cycle.
