My thanks to Peter Adamson (Munich) for inviting me to introduce my research on the role that pre-Modern Ireland has played in history of philosophy, and which it now plays in the reinterpretation of that history. historyofphilosophy.net/podcast/medi...

Everything you wanted to know about medieval dreams of Ireland's apocalyptic imperial destiny but were afraid to ask! My article on the reception of Orosius' historiography by the Middle Irish narrative, Suidiugud Tellaig Temra, is now freely available on open access academic.oup.com/bics/article...

An unexpected delight to have been be invited to join this meeting on Maximus the Confessor!

In this open access chapter, now published, I argue that Augustinian historiography provided early medieval Irish authors with the conceptual basis for making nostalgia for the pagan past theologically intelligible. www.academia.edu/143788477/Th...

An outreach-style interview on my research on early medieval Irish philosophy. If you think you might be interested in this area of research, and what it is that I'm trying to find out about it, I think this qualifies as an accessible introduction. www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4aT...

Grateful for the opportunity to share my research with the departments of Celtic Studies and Philosophy and Religious Studies at Saint Francis Xavier's University later this week.

It's an honour and privilege to have been invited to give the Robert Crouse Memorial Lecture this year. Though I will have to pull quite a rabbit out of my hat if I hope to do him justice!
