Congratulations to Laura McKenna and Eoin O'Callaghan

Laura McKenna, who is working on a PhD in Creative Writing supervised by Eibhear Walshe, was awarded an annual stipend of €10,000 per year. She is working on a novel about the relationship between Lord Edward Fitzgerald and his African-American servant, Toby Small).  Eoin O'Callaghan, currently in the second year of his PhD research on the author William Faulkner under the supervision of Lee Jenkins, received an award of €3,000. This award will enable him to make a research trip to the ÉîÒ¹ÑÇÖÞ¸£Àû¾Ã¾Ã of Virginia in order to study Faulkner's manuscript materials. Having been Writer-in-Residence at Virginia from 1957 to 1959, Faulkner bequeathed the majority of his personal papers to the ÉîÒ¹ÑÇÖÞ¸£Àû¾Ã¾Ã upon his death in 1962. Eoin will also liaise with Jahan Ramazani, Edgar F. Shannon Professor at the ÉîÒ¹ÑÇÖÞ¸£Àû¾Ã¾Ã of Virginia and one of the leading scholars of transnational theory in the world today.
