Irish architectural history and classical traditions by Dr Judith Hill (Moore Institute Visiting Fellow 2017-18 and Irish Studies’ Scholar)

Irish architectural history and classical traditions by Dr Judith Hill (Moore Institute Visiting Fellow 2017-18 and Irish Studies’ Scholar) – ‘Keep the past for pride’: What role did classicism play in the making of commemorative monuments in newly Independent Ireland? Dr Hill will be joined on the day by Dr Pádraic Moran (Classics) who will act as respondent to the seminar, and by Dr Nessa Cronin (Irish Studies) who will moderate the discussion.

Dr Judith Hill is an architectural historian and author. She was recently awarded a doctorate on late eighteenth- and early-nineteenth-century Gothic revival in Ireland from Trinity College Dublin. She has previously published Lady Gregory: An Irish Life (2005), and Irish Public Sculpture: A History (1998), and is currently working on a study of the politics of public monuments and their links to classical models.

Judith was awarded a Moore Institute Vising Research Fellow at National University of Ireland Galway 2017–2018 to undertake the research on classicism in twentieth-century Irish monuments.
