A Kilkenny secondary school teacher was among the first students to graduate in the new MA in Irish Regional History offered by Carlow College, St Patrick's.
History Teacher, Aoife O'Carroll, was awarded her Masters degree at a Conferring Ceremony at South East Technological University in January.
The MA in Irish Regional History, launched in 2021, has seen its inaugural graduates successfully complete this unique postgraduate programme. The graduates have delved into an array of topics, exploring the multifaceted narratives that have shaped various regions across the country.
Kilkenny native, Aoife O'Carroll, said: "I was excited to find out more about my home county of Kilkenny as well as other counties in the South East. I'm a history teacher, so I wanted to build on my knowledge that I already had and wanted to build on my knowledge of history."
Dr Elaine Callinan, Programme Director for the MA in Irish Regional History, expressed pride in the inaugural class, stating: "We are thrilled to witness the first graduates of the MA in Irish Regional History programme. Their scholarly contributions and dedication to understanding the intricacies of Ireland's regional history have set a high standard for future cohorts. We look forward to seeing the impact these graduates will make in the field and beyond."
