The Irish Studies Graduate Students of Boston College, in conjunction with the Irish Studies Program, are pleased to host the sixth annual Comhfhios Boston College conference. Comhfhios (pronounced “co-is”) meaning “knowledge together,” or “open to all knowledge,” invites emerging scholars in all Irish Studies fields to gather in Boston. 

This year’s theme is “Queering Hibernia: Women, Gender, and Sexuality in Ireland and Her Diasporas.” As such, Comhfhios 2023 welcomes presentations that challenge traditional narratives in Irish studies and privilege the stories of women and queer communities. The keynote speaker will be Dr. Leanne McCormick of Ulster University.
