Irish Convicts and Early Australian Society: A Reassessment in Two hemispheres

该项目以爱尔兰和澳大利亚的新档案研究为基础，并建立了一个数据库，其中包括1800年至1806年间乘坐八种交通工具抵达的1000多名男女爱尔兰囚犯的信息，该项目考察了革命时代更广泛的爱尔兰侨民的交通过程。它试图通过审视爱尔兰罪犯的“他者”传统观点，将他们带入殖民研究的主流。并在运输前和运输后一样关注他们的生活。将产生一本书、一篇文章和一篇会议论文。

Based on new archival research in Ireland and Australia and the development of a data bank comprising information on more than one thousand male and female Irish convicts who arrived on eight transports between 1800 and 1806, this project examines the process of transportation within the context of a much wider Irish diaspora in the Age of Revolutions. It seeks to bring Irish convicts into the mainstream of colonial studies by examining the traditional view of their ?otherness? and by focusing as much on their lives before transportation as after. A book, articles and conference papers will result.
