About David

David Convery is a historian whose research focuses on twentieth-century Irish labour history, working-class writing, and Ireland's engagements with international leftist movements, particularly the Spanish Civil War. He earned his PhD from University College Cork in 2012 with a dissertation entitled 'Brigadistas: The History and Memory of Irish Anti-Fascists in the Spanish Civil War'. As an Irish Research Council Postdoctoral Fellow at the Irish Centre for the Histories of Labour and Class at NUI Galway, Convery edited 'Locked Out: A Century of Irish Working-Class Life' (Irish Academic Press, 2013), a collection that examines pivotal events and narratives in Irish working-class experiences over a century. His chapter 'Writing and Theorising the Irish Working Class' appears in 'A History of Irish Working-Class Writing' (Cambridge University Press, 2017), offering a comprehensive survey of scholarship and literary representations in the field. Additional contributions include 'Ireland and the Fall of the Second Republic in Spain' in 'Living the Death of Democracy in Spain' (2017) and 'Irish Emigrants in the Spanish Civil War' in 'New Perspectives on the Irish Abroad: The Silent People?' (2014).
