Bryan McGovern

I am Chair of the History and Philosophy Departments, Professor of History and History Education, and I teach courses in Irish History, American History, and History Education. I earned my Ph.D. in History from the University of Missouri in 2003. My research interests focus on 19th-century Irish and Irish-American history and my publications include:

"Richard O'Gorman and Young Ireland on Race, Class, and Culture in Nineteenth Century Irish America," New Hibernia Review (Summer, 2022).

"Andrew Jackson and the Protestant Irish of Philadelphia: Early Nineteenth Century Sectarianism," Pennsylvania History: A Journal of Mid-Atlantic Studies (Spring 2020).

"Young Ireland and Southern Nationalism," Irish Studies South (2016).

"The Fenians: Irish Rebellion in the North Atlantic World, 1858-1876" (Patrick Steward, co-author, University of Tennessee Press, 2013).

"Kerby Miller and Irish Immigration to America," in "The Making of Modern Immigration: An Encyclopedia of People and Ideas" (2012).

"John Mitchel: Irish Nationalist, Southern Secessionist" (University of Tennessee Press, 2009).

"John Mitchel: Ecumenical Nationalist in the Old South," New Hibernia Review (Summer, 2001).

I am currently working on an article that examines Young Ireland's views on religion.
