Fiona has been awarded the inaugural CISS Irish Writers Fellowship offered by the Centre for Irish and Scottish Studies at the University of Otago, and will take up this exciting opportunity in Dunedin during September and October.
“I am astonished by my good fortune to be invited to take up the Irish Writers Fellowship. Being of Irish descent, I identify with the stories of how Irish people have fared in this country. It’s an amazing opportunity to develop my own sense of identity and to work with the wonderful CISS team.”
