Event Description
Explore the foundation and early development of what became Queen’s University Belfast.
Why was a college formed in Belfast? Why in 1845? Three Queen’s historians will answer those questions by placing the foundation of Queen’s College Belfast within broader political, social, and intellectual developments: Professor Peter Gray will examine British and Irish politics; Dr Robyn Atcheson will consider Belfast society; and Professor Andrew Holmes will chart the foundation and progress of the Belfast college.
