Head of History and Politics Associate Professor Sonja Tiernan has been awarded a Moore Institute Visiting Fellowship at the National University of Ireland, Galway.
The Moore Institute Visiting Fellowship scheme is funded by generous support from the Galway University Foundation, the College of Arts, Social Sciences and Celtic Studies, and the Hardiman Library in running the programme.
Visiting fellowships provide the opportunity to conduct research on the rich archival and print collections at NUIG, to interact with the academic community across the College, the university, the city, and region, and to create new partnerships and networks for future research.
While at the Moore Institute, Associate Professor Tiernan will work on the early stages of a new book project in which she hopes to showcase the history of Irish female activism.
