Dr Susan Arthure has a PhD in archaeology from Flinders University. Her main research interests are Irishness and the Irish diaspora, with a focus on the Irish Australian experience and the material lives of those Irish who migrated across the globe after the Great Famine. Her research into the Irish community of Baker's Flat, near Kapunda in South Australia, identified the first complete exemplar of a clachan (traditional Irish settlement system) to be recognised outside of Ireland so far. She was a co-editor for Irish South Australia: New histories and insights (Wakefield Press, 2019). Susan was born and raised in Ireland but has lived mostly in South Australia since 1987. See less
