Abstract

What an honour it is to take over this reviews section from the ever-excellent Maureen O’Connor – I have big shoes to fill. Irish Studies around the world is growing year on year. I know from my own work on the IASIL committee, where we capture a snapshot of the work happening around the world, that Irish Studies centres are blooming from Taiwan to Tehran. We had 448 events in 23 countries in our report for 2024/25. The Irish Times carried a huge feature on the excellent Irish Studies conference in Mexico lead by Professor Aurora Piñeiro (McCarthy 2025). The conference scene was busy in Irish studies, with events such as IASIL in Galway, AEDEI in Huelva, ACIS in Denver, EFACIS in Turku and an interesting session from LCIS in Leuven and the Keogh Naughton Institute on the Future of Irish Studies Authors such as Sally Rooney, Maggie O’Farrell, Ursula Rani Sarma, Anna Burns, Claire Keegan, Anne Enright, Emma Dabiri, Colm Tóibín and Adiba Jaigirdar are finding, and growing, global acclaim. The range of work is more than Joyce, Beckett, Yeats and Heaney (although the publishing lists might tell you different!).
