CONGRATULATIONS
Congratulations to Professor Adrian Frazier on being admitted as a new member of the Royal Irish Academy (RIA) at a special ceremony in Dublin recently.
Adrian's
work on modern Irish literature has opened up new fields of inquiry in territories often passed over: introducing new historicism to the study of Irish theatre; re-introducing George Moore to a world that had forgotten him; and bringing alive the story of Abbey actors working with John Ford in Hollywood.

Dr Patrick Lonergan, English Department, has won the STR Theatre Book Prize for Theatre and Globalisation - Irish Drama in the Celtic Tiger Era published by Palgrave Macmillan. Dr Lonergan's book will be launched formally on Friday, 17 April when NUI Galway will host the sixth annual conference of the Irish Theatrical Diaspora Project. Entitled 'Irish Drama: Local and Global Contexts', the conference will consider many important questions, from how Irish writers have responded to the challenges of globalisation, to what kinds of images of Ireland are being promoted abroad by our theatre companies - and how those images shape international attitudes to real Irish people.
