Introducing the lecture, NUI Registrar Dr Patrick O’Leary noted that the IHRP was first awarded in 1922 and continues to be one of the most prestigious awards on offer to historians in Ireland. The award now enters into its second century with Dr MacCarron’s book.

Dr MacCarron has received a number of awards and research grants to pursue her research. She was appointed as a Lecturer in Digital Humanities in UCC in 2019.

Her current research project, ‘Time for Women? Gender, Chronology and Historiography before AD 900 (GENCHRON)’ is funded by the Leverhulme Trust. The project's overarching aim is to integrate gender into a re-evaluation of time and chronology in medieval sources and modern historiography.

NUI Registrar, Dr Patrick O’Leary congratulated all the UCC recipients of NUI awards, Dr MacCarron, in particular.
