Heather Elizabeth Ingman (born 26 December 1953) is a British[1] academic, noted for her work on 19th and 20th century British and Irish women's writing, and the Irish short story. Also a novelist and journalist, Ingman has worked in Ireland and the UK, especially at Trinity College Dublin, where she is an Adjunct Professor of English[2] and Research Fellow in Gender Studies.[3]

Career

Ingman graduated with a BA in French and English from the University of London University, and in 1980 she was awarded a Ph.D in French Renaissance poetry and drama by that institution. She then worked professionally in the School of French at Trinity College Dublin (TCD) from the early 1980s for ten years.[4] She moved back to the UK for her second Ph.D, and took up a post at the University of Hull, as Lecturer in English, specialising in Women's Studies, for eight years.[5] She secured her Ph.D from Loughborough University, on women's inter-war fiction, in 1996.[3]

Ingman returned, after about ten years,[6] to Dublin, to work at the Department of English at Trinity College, in time becoming an Adjunct Professor. She later also took up a post at the Centre for Women's Studies within TCD; she is currently a Visiting Research Fellow at what is now the Centre for Gender and Womens Studies.[3] Ingman also speaks regularly at conferences, has been interviewed on radio, and supervises and has acted as external examiner for Ph.D candidates in at least five universities in the UK, Ireland and the USA.[4]

Ingman is also an Honorary Research Fellow of the Research Institute of Irish and Scottish Studies at the University of Aberdeen.[7]
