Dr Huw Williams interviews Professor Diarmait Mac Giolla Chriost about his new book, 'Fieldnotes from Celtic Palestine' (University of Wales Press, 2025).
Huw will be asking Diarmait about his fieldwork in Palestine and will reflect on the similarities between the Israel-Palestine conflict and the historical conflict in Northern Ireland.
Amongst other things, they will discuss Diarmait's encounters with some remarkable individuals in both places, including a Hamas suicide-bomber and IRA hunger-strikers.
