Brendan Nellis: Tarlach MacNiallais Legacy
This presentation will outline and highlight some significant events including the infamous protest against LGBT Trade Union activists presenting at Queen’s University Belfast. A play has now been written and presented on stage entitled "The Queer Ceili at the Marty Forsythe". It will also outline the birth and progress of ILGO (Irish Lesbian and Gay Organisation) in New York which resulted in eventual acceptance and welcome onto the New York City St Patrick's Day parade in 2016.

Brian Crowley: Queering Kilmainham Goal
This presentation explores the criminalisation of homosexuality in the 19th and early twentieth century. It focuses in particular on the prison's role in the biggest gay scandal in Ireland in the 19th century, the Dublin Castle Scandal of 1884 which saw a fascinating intersection of politics and the judicial system. Kilmainham Gaol is probably best known in Ireland because of its association with the struggle for Irish independence, and this presentation looks at political figures associated with that struggle who may have been LGBTQ+.

Maurice Casey: Early 20th Century Irish LGBTQ Diaspora
The presentation presents original research into the early 20th  century Irish LGBTQ diaspora. More broadly, sexual identities are an  under-researched aspect of Irish diaspora history.

Maggie Moyo: Migration, Race & Empire: LGBT+ Histories Tour
The presentation explores how themes of race, empire and migration  intersect with LGBT+ history. e.g how crackdowns on deviant gender and  sexuality in the late 1800s can be seen in the wider context of  imperialism and defending the empire. The presentation also highlights  untold stories. E.g how stereotypes about Western LGBT+ people held by  people working in the Home Office can influence how they judge people  seeking asylum on the basis of sexuality.
