2nd PhD from the NCFIS
In November 2010 Jean-Christophe Penet was awarded a PhD for his thesis entitled ‘Goodbye to the Power and the Glory? From Modernity to Ultramodernity – A Socio-Historical Analysis of Secularisation as the restructuration of Catholic Beliefs and Practices in France and Ireland’.
The thesis was co-supervised by Eugene O’Brien and Eamon Maher. The two external examiners were Professor Michael Cronin (DCU) and Professor Tom Inglis (UCD). Jean-Christophe is the second PhD to come out of the National Centre for Franco-Irish Studies.
