In addition to our existing funding schemes, BARS launched a new initiative in 2024: the Open Fellowship, which is available to scholars at any career stage undertaking exceptional work at the forefront of Romantic studies.
We are thrilled to announce that the recipient of the second BARS Open Fellowship is Dr Christina Morin. Christina’s project is titled ‘Irish Gothic in the Global Nineteenth Century’.
Christina Morin is Professor in English and Assistant Dean of Research for the Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of Limerick. She is the author of The Gothic Novel in Ireland, c. 1760-1829 (2018) and Charles Robert Maturin and the Haunting of Irish Romantic Fiction (2011), and co-editor of the collections Traveling Irishness in the Long Nineteenth Century (with Marguérite Corporaal, 2017) and Irish Gothics: Genres, Forms, Modes and Traditions (with Niall Gillespie, 2014). Recent publications include a special issue of the Irish University Review on ‘Irish Gothic Studies Today’ (2023; co-edited with Ellen Scheible) and Irish Gothic: An Edinburgh Companion (2023; co-edited with Jarlath Killeen). Tina is Chair of the International Association of Irish Literatures (IASIL) and co-editor of Eighteenth-Century Ireland. You can find Tina on BlueSky @drtinamorin.bsky.social.
