In this episode, Helen Doyle discusses her research on the Irish District Asylum system with her PhD supervisor, Dr Dympna McLoughlin.
Helen Doyle is a third year PhD student with the History Department at Maynooth University, where she is also a graduate teaching assistant with Academic Writing Support. Her thesis is titled ‘The Impact of the Criminal Lunatic (Ireland) Act 1838 on committal numbers to Irish district lunatic asylums’ and is examining the role of key-players involved in committal of ‘dangerous lunatics’ to Irish district asylums. Her research is also investigating the link between the stigma associated with mental illness in Ireland today, and the passing of this legislation that first linked insanity with crime, danger, fear and threat to society.
Dr Dympna McLoughlin is a lecturer at the History Department, Maynooth University.
