Information and forthcoming events associated with the Department of English:

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.
