We invite you to join us for a SASH Session on Friday, December 5 at 12 PM ET when Conor Curran will discuss Irish male and female soccer players’ experiences of US soccer scholarships in the twentieth century and how valuable these scholarships were in terms of playing, education and post-university careers.
Curran’s Blue Chippers from the Emerald Isle: A history of Irish footballers and scholarships in the USA in the twentieth century was recently published by Peter Lang.
Curran was previously a postdoctoral research fellow in the School of Education at Trinity College Dublin and has taught sports history at the International Centre for Sports History and Culture at De Montfort University, Leicester and at the University of Giessen and University of Marburg. He has published extensively on the history of sport and society in Ireland.
