Associate Professor of History


Jason Knirck is a modern Irish historian who also teaches British and Western European history. His research concerns the Irish revolution and the foundation of the Irish Free State, focusing particularly on the political rhetoric of the period. He is currently at work on a book-length project on the relationship between the Free State political party Cumann na nGaedheal and the legacy of the Irish revolution. Before starting at CWU in 2004, he taught for three years as an assistant professor at Humboldt State University. My homepage: http://www.cwu.edu/~knirckj/
