Glucksman Chair of Irish and Scottish Studies - 22 Feb 2008

On Friday February 22nd, guests joined Loretta Brennan Glucksman in the Merrion Hotel, Dublin to welcome the Principal and Vice Chancellor of the University of Aberdeen, Professor C Duncan Rice and his wife Susan Rice CBE and to celebrate the Glucksman Chair in Irish and Scottish studies which has been established in the University.

This Chair is the first in this subject area in any University established in perpetuity and is developing interdisciplinary and comparative research in Irish and Scottish history, literature, language and culture and is drawing on a wide range of disciplines within the Humanities and Social Sciences.

The Chair is building strong links with Trinity College Dublin and New York University and is further strengthening the research base in Irish and Scottish studies. The current Chair is the eminent scholar Professor Cairns Craig, who is making a major contribution to this new but vital and relevant field of study.
