Profile
The IACI-NUI Galway Fellow for 2011-12 is Professor Donna L. Potts from Kansas State University. While doing research for her book,
The Pastoral
Tradition in Contemporary Irish
Poetry
(University of Missouri Press, 2011), she became interested in the impact of the environmental movement on contemporary Irish literature and culture. During her research stay in Galway, she plans to visit sites of recent environmental protests, interview writers whose work responds to these protests, and work with sociologists who have documented Ireland's environmental movement.
