We would like to acknowledge the financial support received from the Arts and Humanities Research Council (www.ahrc.ac.uk) as part of an AHRC Early Career Fellowship (McWilliams, October 2011–June 2012), for a conference on ‘New Perspectives on Women and the Irish Diaspora’, which took place at Bath Spa University on 24 March 2012. The conference website can be accessed at the following address: http://womenandtheirishdiaspora.wordpress.com/. In addition, the AHRC funded a lifelong learning seminar series on ‘Women and Exile in Irish Literature and Culture’, which ran at the London Irish Women's Centre in autumn 2011: http://womenandexileseminarseries.wordpress.com/.
We are grateful for the further support of the AHRC in compiling this special issue.
