Trinity celebrates 2022 Scholars and Fellows
Posted on: 25 April 2022
A new cohort of Trinity College Dublin Fellows and Scholars was announced today, on Trinity Monday.
The ceremony marked the first time in three years that these honours have been delivered in person.
Provost Dr Linda Doyle stood, in line with tradition, on the steps of the Public Theatre in Front Square to read out the names of the Scholars and Fellows.
Dr Linda Doyle said:
“On behalf of the Trinity community, I want to congratulate all the students and staff who have been named Scholars and Fellows today. We know how much hard work has gone into achieving this and we commend you for it.
We are proud of everyone who put their names forward for Fellowship, and everyone who sat the demanding Scholarship exams.
Tá comhghairdeas tuillte ag gach duine.”
In total, 51 new Scholars, 31 new Fellows, five new Professorial Fellows and two Honorary Fellows were announced (see details below and here) across a range of disciplines.
Fellowships are awarded to those showing excellence in research and scholarship and to acknowledge a professor’s contribution to academic life and teaching in the College.
Becoming a Trinity Scholar is a major achievement for which second year students must perform exceptionally well in exams held in January, showing deep knowledge of their subjects. The students continue with their usual course work as well as studying independently for these exams.
This year’s Scholars come from a broad range of disciplines, including Nursing, Drama, Engineering, Law and more. Each Scholar is entitled to a range of benefits, including free accommodation on campus.
Additionally, two Honorary Fellows were announced.
The first is the internationally renowned author, Sebastian Barry. A Trinity graduate, he read English and Latin from 1973 to 1977, and served as Writer Fellow in 1995-6. He began his career writing fiction and poetry, but it was as a dramatist that he first came to prominence with a series of plays, mostly staged at the Abbey Theatre. It is for his novels that he is now best known. The Secret Scripture (2008), shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize, won the James Black Tait Memorial Prize in 2009, and in its French translation the Cezam Prix Littéraire CE in 2010.
The second is Máirín Nic Eoin, a world-leading scholar of modern Irish language literature. Professor Emerita of Irish in DCU (Dublin City University), she is the author of many seminally important works, including three monographs which are milestones in modern Irish literary criticism (An litríocht réigiúnach 1982, B’ait leo bean 1998, Trén bhfearann breac 2005), and editor of many volumes of conference proceedings and of the works of several modern Irish poets and writers.
