Whose Land is it Anyway? Historical and Ongoing Contestation of Irish Land Ownership

As we recognize and honor Indigenous People’s day, this seminar will delve into Ireland’s deep historical connection with the land, exploring the dynamics of ownership, identity, use, access, and control. By examining these elements, we aim to uncover parallels with Indigenous experiences and consider how these themes remain relevant today, from farm-to-fork movements to contemporary land rights debates. Dr. Mícheál Ó Fathartaigh will present. Panelists include Shelagh Mullen and Ella Padden. The host will be Natalie Nugent O’Shea.
