This award enables a U.S. scholar to spend 4.5 months at the School of History, University College Dublin (UCD), Ireland, combining teaching and research.

The scholar will also give a research seminar, mentor students, and participate in public engagement activities such as lectures, podcasts, or media appearances. This program supports the Fulbright mission of advancing mutual understanding and academic collaboration between the U.S. and Ireland.
