Home Institution: Queen's University Belfast

Field of Study: Patrick's research focuses on British public, political and media perceptions of the Northern Irish civil rights movement, from 1964 - 1972. The movement’s agitation for the redress of Catholic grievances is placed within the context of 20th century British views of the ‘Irish Question’, as well as the fraught and often combative relationship between Northern Ireland’s majority Protestant community and the British state.
