- With my co-editor, Prof. Hilary M. Carey, I conceptualized the volume Religion and Greater Ireland: Christianity and Irish Global Networks, 1750-1950, organized the conference in Australia on which it was based, invited the key participants, selected the contributors to the volume, solicited additional contributions, ensured thematic cohesion and consistency, provided editorial support (intellectual and practical), led colleagues’ engagement with the peer review process, liaised with the publisher, oversaw the proofs, and wrote the index. I also contributed the sole author chapter ‘“Hurrah for old Ireland!”: Irish Catholicism at the Cape of Good Hope’ (pp. 251-71), which was based on extensive primary source research in Ireland, Italy, and South Africa, and co-wrote with Prof. Carey the extended Introduction and Conclusion. The latter pair set out the historiographical and conceptual framework of the book, surveyed the existing scholarly literature of the global Irish, and introduced the concept of ‘Greater Ireland’ as a way of better framing and understanding the phenomenon of global Irish migration and settlement.
