Professor Christopher Morash

I am the Seamus Heaney Professor of Irish Writing, a post dedicated to the teaching and research of Irish writing, based in the School of English. I have published a histories of Irish theatre, and of Irish media, both extending from the 17th century to the present; I have also published on Irish Famine writing, and, most recently, on theories of space in relation to theatre. I am currently working on Yeats's theatre. My research interests in the field of Irish studies thus range fairly widely over the field, with theatre and concepts of information flow as a kind of epicentre. I have also served as Chair of the Compliance Committe of the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland, and thus have an interest in broadcasting regulation.
