DrCatherine Kilcoyne

Dr Kilcoyne's current scholarship and teaching focuses largely on the Environmental Humanities with a specialism in poetry and a keen interest in rivers and their restoration.   Her PhD focused on theories of spatiality in the Irish poetry tradition, and how conceptions of experiential space which incorporates social, historical and environmnetal factors, are explored in literary form more broadly.  Her recent writing explores how the contemporary environmnetal crisis lends urgency to these subjects, and in turn forges new relationships between theory and practice across STEM and the Arts.
