New Publication by Deirdre Raftery
We are delighted to announce the publication of a new monograph by Deirdre
Raftery: Irish Nuns and Education in the Anglophone World: a Transnational History
(Palgrave Macmillan). It includes chapters on recruitment and ‘questing’ for
vocations, preparation for religious life, voyaging out of Ireland to make foundations
in the nineteenth century, establishing new foundations, and expanding the
education mission of many teaching congregations. The book draws on dozens of
archival collections, on four continents, and is available both in hardback and e-book
formats.
