CFP Irish Exceptionalism – SOFEIR conference – University of Strasbourg, 26-27 March 2026 – SOFEIR

Ireland has often been held to be somehow exceptional, an island on the edge of Europe whose historical, social and cultural trajectories have at times led it to diverge in surprising ways from both its nearest neighbour, Great Britain, and the wider world. This perception of Irish exceptionalism has long played a role in how the island has been understood both within and beyond its borders.
