About Maebh
Maebh Long is a Senior Lecturer in English and is the Convener of the English Programme. Her research interests include modernist and contemporary literature in Ireland, Britain, and Oceania, as well as literary theory and continental philosophy. She has published widely on the Irish author Brian O’Nolan/Flann O’Brien and is the author of Assembling Flann O’Brien (Bloomsbury, 2014), as well as the editor of The Collected Letters of Flann O’Brien (Dalkey Archive Press, 2018).
Maebh is a co-investigator of the Oceanian Modernism project, which brings together modernist studies and post-1960s independence and Indigenous rights literature from the Pacific. She has co-edited New Oceania: Modernisms and Modernities in the Pacific (Routledge, 2019) and is currently working on a co-authored monograph on Pacific literature, colonial education, and modernism.
Maebh is also in the early stages of a monograph tentatively entitled The Poetics of Immunity. This project examines the ways immunity, as a heightened desire for bodily and political security and exemption, became a contagious metaphor for modernist writers.
