Two Boston College Irish Studies Program faculty members contributed chapters to The Oxford Handbook of Religion in Modern Ireland (Oxford University Press, 2024). Sullivan Chair in Irish Studies Guy Beiner’s essay is on “Religion and Memory in Modern Ireland.” Professor of the Practice Robert Savage wrote the chapter on “Religion and Broadcasting in the Two Irelands.” The new handbook, which employs a comprehensive all-island approach to the relationships between religion, society, politics, and everyday life on the island of Ireland, is a collection of essays from 36 experts on topics such as identity, secularization, everyday religion, and gender. Beiner also co-wrote a chapter titled “Racializing Irish Historical Consciousness” in Race in Irish Literature and Culture (Cambridge University Press, 2024). He also contributed an article titled “Remembering to Forget: Heaney and 1798 Revisited” to a special issue of the interdisciplinary scholarly journal Éire Ireland. The special issue, edited by Irish Studies’ Vera Kreilkamp, marked the 10th anniversary of the death of Seamus Heaney.
