Prof. Gerry Kearns given prestigious honour
Everyone in Maynooth University's Department of Geography is delighted to announce that Prof. Gerry Kearns has been recognized as the Association of American Geographers Distinguished Historical Geographer for 2015. Part of the citation reads: "Your sustained, powerful scholarship and your generative activities in the UK and the US have greatly enriched historical geography. You more than merit this award."
This is a phenomenal achievement and a tremendous personal recognition for Gerry's scholarship. It follows on from his book, Geopolitics and Empire (2009), winning the Murchison Award from the Royal Geographical Society as the most significant contribution to geographical scholarship that year.
Congratulations, Gerry!
