Biography

Professor Mary Cawley is Adjunct-Professor in the Socio-Economic Marine Research Unit, College of Business, Public Policy and Law and a Senior Lecturer Emerita in Geography, at the University of Galway. Her research interests relate to geographies of rural social and economic change and sustainability. Under these headings, she has investigated issues relating to agriculture, population, services and tourism, supervised doctoral research and supervised funded research projects. Her research is published in peer reviewed journals, as chapters in peer reviewed books, book length texts, and as published and unpublished peer reviewed reports. On-going research projects focus on two themes: coastal and marine tourism and migration to and from Ireland.

Mary is currently a member of the UISCE research project led by Professor Stephen Hynes of SEMRU with Dr John Deely, Postdoctoral Fellow, which is funded by the Marine Institute. She has been a member of research teams for projects funded under four EC Framework Programmes (CAMAR, AIR, FAIR3, FP5- being a PI for the latter two), and PI for projects under the Ulysses programme, the National Parks and Wildlife Service and for four projects funded by the Irish Higher Education Authority Programme of Research in Third Level Institutions (PRTLI) 2, 3 and 4. She coordinated the Social and Economic Impacts Research Cluster in the Environmental Change Institute between 2000 and 2010 and coordinated (with Dr Valerie Ledwith) the Population and Migration Research Cluster in the Whitaker Institute. 

Mary holds the degrees of BA (University College Galway, now NUI Galway), MA (by research, National University of Ireland) and PhD (University of London). She has held Senior Fulbright Fellowships at Pennsylvania State University on two occasions and has been a visiting scholar and lecturer at the Karelian Institute, University of Joensuu, Finland, the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Pécs, the University of Toulouse II, France, Brandon University, Manitoba, Canada and the University of Liege, Belgium..

Her administrative experience includes being Vice-Dean of the former Faculty of Arts, acting Head of Geography and former Honorary Secretary and President of the Geographical Society of Ireland. She served as Honorary Secretary and Newsletter Editor for the founding Irish Fulbright Alumni Association.  Between 2013 and 2023, she was a member of the scientific committee for international rural and tourism conferences in France, Germany, Portugal, Belgium and Spain. She is a former member of the Steering Committee of the International Geographical Union Commission on the Sustainability of Rural Systems. In 2017, Mary was awarded the Life Time Contribution Award of the Geographical Society of Ireland.

Teaching Interests

I am now an emeritus member of Geography and am not actively involved in teaching. When teaching, my interests related to the geographies of contemporary rural social and economic change in a European context with reference to global influences. My teaching was informed by theory and illustrated by examples, some of which came from my own involvement in national and international research projects. I also contributed on methods of research in human geography and to field based learning activities as part of modules and as stand alone modules. I taught on all three years of the undergraduate programme and contributed to MA programmes in Environment, Society and Development and Rural Sustainability and have, at various times in the past, contributed specialist modules to other postgraduate MA and PhD taught programmes.
