Launch of Unveiling our Past: The Struggle for LGBT+ Rights in Ireland

‘Unveiling our Past: The Struggle for LGBT+ Rights in Ireland’ is an LGBT+ inclusive history teaching resource for 5th and 6th classes.

It meets the objectives of the history curriculum under the strand ‘Politics, conflict and society’ for the objective ‘Ireland, Europe and the world, 1960 to the present’. It uses primary sources from the time to engage the pupils’ learning while also integrating the development of key reading comprehension skills.

The resource will be launched by INTO President Joe McKeown and the launch will feature guest speaker Dr Mary McAuliffe, Assistant Professor in Gender Studies in UCD, and a walkthrough of the resource by author, Cecelia Gavigan.
