Episode 1 - Trinity College Dublin and the Empire - a podcast by DU History

It's a brand new term, meaning it's a new season of Many Moons Ago. On this episode, Shane is joined by Dr Ciaran O’Neill (TCD) to talk about Trinity College Dublin’s Imperial history. Founded by Queen Elizabeth I in 1592, the college has seen the rise and fall of the British Empire. Has Trinity served as an agent of empire in its history spanning over 400 years? 

Join us as we talk about pro-imperial teachings, training for the Indian Civil Service, scientific racism and the Dublin Anthropometric Laboratory as well as the legacy of George Berkeley.
