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!
