About This Fellowship
Recognizing increased interdisciplinary connections in Irish Studies, we are pleased to fund graduate research that may not fit easily into the pre-existing categories of other ACIS fellowships. The Emmet Larkin Interdisciplinary Fellowship aims to encourage interdisciplinary research on topics that intersect with Irish Studies, including but not limited to music, creative writing, folklore, Irish language, social sciences, Women’s, Gender, and Sexualities Studies, disability studies, and other related fields.
This is an annual $1,000 USD research award for a Master’s or Ph.D. student conducting research on an Irish topic (including diaspora) at a North American institution.
The Emmet Larkin Interdisciplinary Fellowship is funded by the Georges Lurcy Charitable and Educational Trust.
