Staff Profile
Dr McBride’s formal training as a historian began at the University of Strathclyde in 1996 where he undertook his PhD research on Irish political identity in Victorian Glasgow, gaining his doctorate in 2003. He has presented the findings of his research into identity formation among Irish migrants at a number of conferences, most recently at a one-day event entitled Migrants and the Making of Modern Scotland : Comparing Historical Accounts of Migrant Life in September 2009 (University of Strathclyde). He has also had a number of peer-reviewed papers/reviews published over the past three years and secured the publication of a monograph, The Experience of Irish Migrants to Glasgow, Scotland, 1863-1891: A New Way of Being Irish in June 2007. His current research focus is on Irish Associational Culture in mid-19th Century Glasgow, particularly on Ribbonism and the growth of secular Irishness. Dr McBride is currently a member of the British Association for Irish Studies and the Economic History Society.
