Lewis Glucksman International Fellowships

The School of History is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2011-2 Lewis Glucksman International Fellowships. These fellowships, funded by the Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaelteacht, were created in honor of the extraordinary contribution to Irish cultural life and to Ireland-US relations made by the late Lewis Glucksman.

Lewis Glucksman was a philanthropist and patron of the arts, along with his wife Loretta. They established a home in Ireland and applied their energies to fundraising and philanthropic projects, using their financial resources and a network of wealthy and influential contacts to fund projects including the Lewis Glucksman art gallery at University College Cork and the Millennium wing at the National Gallery of Ireland.

The International Fellowship scheme was announced by the then Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism John O'Donoghue in November 2006 and has operated with funding from that Department on an annual basis since the Autumn of 2007. In the intervening years, a total of ten postgraduates from University College Cork and New York University have spent some or all of an academic year at the partner university, pursuing research across a range of topics relating to Irish, British, European, and American history in the early modern, modern, and contemporary periods.

In this, the final year of the scheme, three more promising postgraduates have been selected as recipients of the scheme. From University College Cork, Mr. Steven O'Sullivan and Mr. Greg Foley have been chosen following a competitive selection process to travel to New York, while Mr. Max Mischler has been selected by NYU to make the return journey. Their expenses, including flight, accommodation, conference, and living costs, are all covered by the scheme.
