Aoife O'LearyMcNeice wins BAIrishStudies essay prize

News

Congratulations to Aoife who has been awarded the British Association for Irish Studies essay prize for her paper 'Dynamics of Gender and the Experiences of the first Female University Students of Queen’s College Cork, 1879-1910.

"O’Leary McNeice’s paper examines the implicitly innovative, progressive, and often subversive experiences of the first female university students in Ireland, and in Queen’s College Cork in particular, in light of dominant contemporary ideologies concerning the correct roles of men and women between 1879 to 1910. Her study is a timely and relevant intervention that speaks not only to historians of gender and of education but also to social and cultural historians of Modern Ireland."
