I am thrilled to announce that the American Studies Program at Boston University will be accepting new PhD Students for the 27/28 academic year. These are fully funded, unionized, 5-year positions, with 4 semesters of guaranteed dissertation fellowship in years 4 & 5.

Application Deadline: December 15, 2026 The American Studies Program at Boston University is a nationally recognized leader in the interdisciplinary field of American Studies. Our students and faculty study the disparate yet interconnected cultures of colonial North America and the United States as seen in the ideas and actions of its people, and as expressed in a range of forms, especially culture, the arts, media, literature, and institutions - often seen through a global or transnational lens. Formerly known as the American & New England Studies Program, we maintain active collaborations with many cultural institutions in the region, especially in the Boston Area. Our large PhD program has produced tenure-track protessors, public historians, museum curators, and directors at major universities, museums, and other cultural and historical institutions. Funding Opportunities PhD students receive full funding for up to five years (12 months a year) under a collective bargaining agreement. During this time, they take courses, teach in their fields and disciplines of interest, and develop and write dissertations. The fellowship package guarantees four semesters of dissertation fellowship in years 4 and 5, with no service obligations Additional funding is available from Boston University for travel to conferences, for archival research, and for internships. Current students have recently received outside fellowships from the Fulbright Foundation, the American Antiquarian Society, the Massachusetts Historical Society, the Huntington Library, the Smithsonian Institution, the Beinecke Library, the Corning Museum of Glass, the New Bedford Whaling Museum, and the American Historical Association. Graduate Student Association The Program's own independent Graduate Student Association (GSA) is comprised of elected PhD students who sponsor events and programs for developing professional skills, while representing our students' interests to the governing faculty. A list of affiliate faculty, available also on the program’s webpage

Today is officially my last day as Assistant Dean of Research (ADR) in the Faculty of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences (AHSS) at UL. Reflecting on nearly 5 years in the role, I can honestly say I've loved it. Collaborating with amazing colleagues across the university...

Another highlight from my first day back in the office yesterday: a lovely note from a colleague thanking me as I finish my tenure as assistant dean of research later this month: 'You've made a real difference to our faculty and it is much appreciated'. Welling up again just thinking about it.

I’m back at my desk this morning & ignoring my email inbox in favour of this beautiful book, The Edinburgh Companion to Irish Literature and Periodical Culture, edited by @elkedhoker.bsky.social & Phyllis Boumans. I’m delighted to have an essay here on 1830s Irish gothic magazine fiction.

Image of a book cover with the title The Edinburgh Companion to Irish Literature and Periodical Culture above the editors’ names (Elke D’hoker and Phyllis Boumans). A small black a white image of a woman reading in front of a window is to the bottom right. The image is Self-Portrait by Estella Solomons. Image of a page in the book with the title ‘New Frankensteins: Gothic Fiction in Irish Magazines (1830-1840)’. The essay is by Christina Morin.

In preparation for research leave this coming year, I’m refurbing the home office and have just bought myself an Edwardian ladies’ writing desk. It is stunning! Surely writing at something so beautiful will help me finish my book!?

As hubby and kids have joined me for the last two weeks of my fellowship in Boston, we’ve made plenty of time for sightseeing - Hampton Beach & Brown’s Lobster Pound for fresh seafood (childhood nostalgia), New England Six Flags, the Tall Ships festival…

Today’s adventures: reading through Mathew Carey’s accounts at the American Antiquarian Society, not exactly finding what I’d hoped to, but nevertheless (therefore?) unreasonably tickled by this little note… please send ‘plumb puddings’!

A handwritten scrap of paper with the note, ‘Dear Sir, Please to send me a plumb pudding and charge it to acct.’ Signed, ‘Monday morning, Mr. M. Carey’

Our wonderful colleague, poet in residence Emily Cullen, and her son Lee have been in the national news this last week, and now they're on the #BBC! Read the heartwarming story here: www.bbc.com/news/article... @unioflimerick.bsky.social #poetry #juniorcert

I wrote a poem about my son - years later it appeared on his exam

Emily Cullen says she couldn't believe it when her son told her about the poem, which she had written seven years earlier.
