Biography

Mary Cawley is Adjunct Professor of Migration and Rural Societal Change in the Whitaker Institute and a former Senior Lecturer in Geography. Her research interests relate to the geographies of rural social and economic change. Under these headings, she has investigated issues relating to agriculture, population, services and tourism, supervised doctoral research and supervised funded research projects. Her research is published in peer reviewed journals, as chapters in peer reviewed books and as published, peer reviewed, reports. On-going research projects focus on two themes: migration to and from Ireland; and networks and embeddedness in rural tourism.

Mary has been a member of research teams for projects funded under four EU Framework Programmes (CAMAR, AIR, FAIR3, FP5- being a PI for the latter two), and PI for projects under the Ulysses programme, the National Parks and Wildlife Service and for four projects funded by the Irish Higher Education Authority Programme of Research in Third Level Institutions (PRTLI) 2, 3 and 4. She coordinated the Social and Economic Impacts Research Cluster in the Environmental Change Institute between 2000 and 2010 and currently coordinates (with Dr Valerie Ledwith) the Population and Migration Research Cluster in the Whitaker Institute. She is a member of the Steering Committee of the GIS Centre in the Ryan Institute.

Mary holds the degrees of BA and MA (by research)  from the National University of Ireland and the degree of PhD from the University of London. She has held Senior Fulbright Fellowships at Pennsylvania State University on two occasions and has been a visiting scholar and lecturer at the Karelian Institute, University of Joensuu, Finland, the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Pécs, the University of Toulouse, Le Mirail, France and Brandon University, Manitoba, Canada.

Her administrative experience includes being Vice-Dean of the former Faculty of Arts, acting Head of Geography and former Honorary Secretary and President of the Geographical Society of Ireland. She served as Honorary Secretary and Newsletter Editor for the founding Irish Fulbright Alumni Association.  In 2013-2015, she was a member of the scientific committee for international rural conferences in France, Germany and Portugal. She is a member of the Steering Committee of the Commission on the Sustainability of Rural Systems of the International Geographical Union.

Teaching Interests

I am now an emeritus member of Geography and am not actively involved in teaching. When teaching, my interests related to the geographies of contemporary rural social and economic change in a European context with reference to global influences. My teaching was informed by theory and illustrated by examples, some of which came from my own involvement in national and international research projects. I also contributed on methods of research in human geography and to field based learning activities as part of modules and as stand alone modules. I taught on all three years of the undergraduate programme and contributed to MA programmes in Environment, Society and Development and Rural Sustainability and have, at various times in the past, contributed specialist modules to other postgraduate MA and PhD taught programmes.
