Bronagh Ann McShane

I am a historian specialising in the history of women, gender and religion. I am a Research Fellow at Trinity College Dublin, working on the ERC-funded project, VOICES of Women in Early Modern Ireland (https://voicesproject.ie/). I completed my PhD at Maynooth University, funded by the Irish Research Council, and previously held a National University of Ireland Research Fellowship at the University of Galway.
I am the author of Irish Women in Religious Orders, 1530–1700: Suppression, Migration and Reintegration (2022), co-editor of Brides of Christ: Women and Monasticism in Medieval and Early Modern Ireland (2023), and a contributor to the Oxford History of British and Irish Catholicism (2023). My research has been published in British Catholic History, Archivium Hibernicum, the Journal of Historical Network Research and the Journal of Open Humanities Data. I am also interested in Catholicism and the contemporary Church, and I have written on the contemporary papacy for The Conversation and The Irish Times.
