Duais Leabhar Taighde na Bliana Fhoras Na Gaeilge bronnta ar Ríona Nic Gongáil

Bronnadh Duais Leabhar Taighde na Bliana Fhoras na Gaeilge ar Úna Ní Fhaircheallaigh agus an Fhís Útóipeach Ghaelach (Arlen House, 2010) leis an Dr Ríona Nic Congáil le déanaí. Bronnadh an duais ag an gCruinniú Idirnáisiúnta den Chomhdháil Mheiriceánach do Léann na hÉireann 2011, ag Ollscoil Wisconsin – Madison. Ghnóthaigh an leabhar seo duais cheana féin in Oireachtas na Bliana 2010.

Beathaisnéis chriticiúil is ea Úna Ní Fhaircheallaigh agus an Fhís Útóipeach Ghaelach, a dhíríonn ar an mbean ba theanntásaí i saol na Gaeilge i rith na hathbheochana agus a dhéanann scagadh ar a ról mar ghníomhaí cultúrtha, mar dhuine acadúil, agus mar fheimineach a chuir smaointeachas an útóipeachais chun cinn.

Dr Ríona Nic Congáil’s recently published monograph Úna Ní Fhaircheallaigh agus an Fhís Útóipeach Ghaelach (Arlen House, 2010), has been awarded the American Conference for Irish Studies Prize for Research Book of the Year in the Irish Language. The award was made last week at the 2011 International Meeting of the American Conference for Irish Studies at the University of Wisconsin – Madison. This monograph previously received an award in the Oireachtas National Literature Competition in late 2010.

Úna Ní Fhaircheallaigh agus an Fhís Útóipeach Ghaelach is a critical biography of Úna Ní Fhaircheallaigh, cultural activist, academic, feminist and Utopian thinker and arguably the most significant woman in the Irish-language movement during the early years of the Revival.

Dr Nic Congáil is an IRCHSS Post-doctoral Fellow working in the Irish Department in St Patrick's College, Drumcondra, on a research project entitled “Early Children’s Literature in the Irish Language: an Archival, Critical and Cultural Project.”
