History Dissertation

Graduated last year, wrote my dissertation on Scottish linguistics in the early modern period

That's a really good idea anon. The United Irishmen rebellion and the subsequent Act of Union is sure to give you a lot of material.

Do make sure to present an interesting dissertation question though, don't be too general.

Shouldn't you be talking about the Irish diaspora that peaked in the 1840s? Isn't that the more interesting topic?

Unless you somehow can contextualize the British-Irish relations during those happenings, if that's the case it should yield VERY interesting results.

That covers the United Irishmen to the Great Famine, so yes. You've pretty much covered the formation of Irish Republicanism there.

In terms of an original case study/primary source or something?

How should I best facilitate archives too?

Yeah try to write on a topic that not many people have done. Or if you're writing on a familiar topic, approach it from a new angle.

You'll be using mostly primary sources, you can find them in catalogues and stuff but I feel like you get brownie points for going out and finding manuscripts yourself in various libraries and so on.

Are you Irish/living in Ireland? That'll make it a lot easier

No at uni of leeds.

Okay I think I'll do something to do with the United Irishmen and the subsequent act of union
