A HIGHLIGHT of the museum’s cultural programme, the second Thomas MacDonagh Hedge School takes place from September 18th-22nd 2024 in the Thomas MacDonagh Museum in Cloughjordan, Co Tipperary. The theme for this year’s Hedge School programme is “Revival and Rebellion: Politics and the Arts – Ireland in Review”
Eleanor Hooker, programme curator says “after the success of the inaugural Thomas MacDonagh Hedge School last year, it is a great honour to again curate the programme for 2024. We are thrilled that prestigious writers and scholars, which include Daniel Mulhall and Fergal Keane, have agreed to join us in Cloughjordan and we look forward to sharing the programme with you. The theme this year is inspired by MacDonagh’s central role in the arts and politics of his time; evident in his work as contributor and editor of The Irish Review during its brief four year run.”
The Thomas MacDonagh Hedge School is thrilled to welcome Daniel Mulhall as its keynote speaker in 2024. Mr Mulhall is a retired diplomat who has served as Ireland‘s Ambassador in Kuala Lumpur, Berlin, London and Washington, and was a member of the Irish Government’s delegation at the negotiations that produced the Good Friday Agreement of 1998. Since his retirement in 2022, he has been Global Distinguished Professor of Irish Studies at Glucksman Ireland House, New York University, Parnell Fellow at Magdalene College, Cambridge University, and a Fellow at the Institute of Politics, Harvard University. Throughout his diplomatic career, he lectured and published widely on Irish history and literature and, in 2022, he produced the bestselling and critically acclaimed Ulysses: A Reader’s Odyssey (New Island Books). He is a consultant with the global law firm DLA Piper and Honorary President of the Yeats Society, Sligo.
