2019 marks the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of IASIL (or IASAIL, the International Association for the Study of Anglo-Irish Literature, as it existed in its first incarnation).

Over the past fortnight we have been delighted to have the American writer John Grogan in residence in the School of English and the Oscar Wilde Centre. John has contributed to the MPhils in Creative Writing and Children’s Literature, and an undergraduate module in Creative Writing.

The School of English 2017/2018 Alumni Newsletter included excerpts from interviews with Professor Gerald Dawe and Dr Amanda Piesse to celebrate their academic careers and many years of teaching in Trinity. You can read the full interviews with Dr Piesse and Professor Dawe here:
