Dr.
Thomas Callahan, Jr is a Professor of History at Rider University in
Lawrenceville, New Jersey, where he teaches Irish and British history. He
received his PhD from the University of Connecticut in 1971, where he
specialized in medieval English history. In recent years he has changed the
focus of his research interests which now center around 19th and early-20th
century Irish emigration. He is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society, a member
of the American Conference for Irish Studies and the Economic and Social
History Society of Ireland. He has published articles and presented papers at
conferences in the United States, Ireland and Northern Ireland, including
invited lectures at UC Dublin and NUI-Galway. His current project is a study of
conditions faced by passengers in steerage on trans-Atlantic voyages in the
late-19th century.
