Ulster-American Heritage Symposium: Omagh, 25-28 June 2008
By Noreen Bowden | June 4, 2008
‘Changing Perspectives, 1607-2007’ will be the theme of this year’s Ulster-American Heritage Symposium, which is being held in June at the Centre for Migration Studies at the Ulster-American Folk Park. The event will explore recent research challenging habitual ways of thinking about the historical relationship between Ulster and North America over the last four hundred years. The symposium meets every two years, alternating between Ulster and North America, and takes an interdisciplinary approach, including history, language, literature, geography, anthropology, religion, folklife, archaeology and music.
The keynote speaker will be Professor David Cannadine, Director of the Institute of Historical Research in the University of London and author of Mellon: An American Life (2006).
