The creation of a single research agency has raised alarm bells among arts and humanities scholars who fear it will divert more funding towards Stem
Sally Rooney’s moral imagination was forged by an arts education. It’s a sector we can’t afford to neglect
Rooney is a famously private figure but has nevertheless intervened into public discourse in recent times, speaking out about the housing crisis in Ireland as well as unfolding political violence in Gaza and Lebanon.
The Irish Universities Association has noted that this boost does not close the funding gap, however, and have called on the Government to address the shortfall in future budgets. Moreover, the recent move to dissolve the Irish Research Council and Science Foundation Ireland and merge both into “Taighde Éireann” continues to raise alarm bells among arts and humanities scholars, who see this dissolution as a premise for reallocating funding to Stem.
Defences of the arts and humanities tend to emphasise the value of the arts to the national economy. This is quite right. But we have invoked Rooney in our discussion to advance an entirely different and more intrinsic criterion.
