Teacher fellows
Lorraine Glynn
I am a teacher of History and English at St. Joseph’s Secondary school in Tulla, Co. Clare. I’m really delighted to take up this Parallel Histories fellowship, focusing on an issue that I feel really passionate about which is encouraging debate and discussion amongst our students. It’s especially important to discuss controversial topics which still hold quite an important place in society today, such as the Partition of Ireland in 1921. Understanding history is I believe the key to unravelling our shared future on the island and Parallel Histories offers our students the opportunity to look at this issue from different perspectives and engage in constructive dialogue. This opportunity will allow them to develop their ability to empathise, to be objective and to articulate their aspirations in respectful ways. We are really excited to be on board with this initiative and we look forward to participating in some robust debates in the year ahead.
