The best five years of my academic career were spent being the Chair of this marvellous association. And the exec are the BEST people.
If you fit the bill, do consider sending an expression of interest or nomination. I’d be glad to chat further with prospective nominees.

I’d be very happy to talk with anyone considering the role of Secretary. I owe a lot to The IAAS and I’ve loved working with the wonderful committee since all the way back in 2019 when I was a PG rep! 💚

Following from afar the enthusiastic responses & anxiously awaiting #DirtyLinen US tour this spring:
Martin Doyle will be in Boston at #BCIrishStudies Connolly House on April 3 - save the date!
