More details here about new research on a working-class Dubliner who hoboed his way across America and became a key figure in the Asian Buddhist revival that heralded the birth of anti-colonial nationalism in a string of countries. A very different way of thinking about social movements.

"Learning from each other's struggles" accommodation
Rooms can be booked on campus via Maynooth's Conference and Accommodation service. A special rate has been agreed for workshop participants, which can be accessed using the voucher code SOCPOST - 10.
Maynooth is a small town in a rural area, so it's important to check before booking whether accommodation is within walking distance. The Glenroyal hotel is close; Carton House is somewhat more distant but still walkable. Two B&Bs within walking distance are Celtic Lodge and Aaronbeg.
Maynooth is only 35 - 45 minutes from Dublin by train (trains are frequent and run until late) so another option is to stay in Dublin, ideally within walking distance of Connolly Station (where there are several hostels, such as Isaac's and the An Oige (YHA) hostel, as well as hotels, such as the North Star and Wynn's) or Drumcondra (good for B&Bs in particular - too many to list but easily found online).
