#NationalACIS26 Fellowship winners with #ACIS executive committee members!
Very honoured to have been awarded the John & Pat Hume Foundation Fellowship for my ongoing PhD research on working-class girlhood, care, and violence in West Belfast.
The fellowship supports research reflecting Hume's commitment to peacebuilding & reconciliation across Ireland.
A real honour to receive this prize for my book - the list of past winners includes some of my favourite people and some of my favourite books in Irish history.
Lovely to see my book has received an honourable mention for the Lawrence J. McCaffrey Prize, an @acirishstudies.bsky.social award for the best monographs on Irish America. Congrats to @irishacw.bsky.social on a well-deserved win for his work on Irish-American soldiers. acisweb.org/2025/05/2024...
