Coming from Northern Ireland, I am excited to work with colleagues from STEM, business and Arts & Humanities to ensure UK-wide representation on national issues.
Bio
Eóin Parkinson is a Lecturer in Biological Anthropology at University College Cork. As a biological anthropologist and archaeologist, he is interested in the long-term history of humanity and in understanding what it means to be human from a biological, social, and cultural perspective. In this respect, he has an interdisciplinary outlook that trickles down to his concerns on promoting the place of the Arts & Humanities in society alongside Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).
Eóin studied at Queen’s University Belfast, the University of Sheffield, and the University of Malta, and he received his PhD from the University of Cambridge. He has since held postdoctoral fellowships at a number of interdisciplinary institutes, including Cambridge’s Centre for Research in the Arts, Social Sciences & Humanities; the McDonald Institute; the University of Malta; and the British School at Rome. He was elected as a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London in 2022, and lectured at Queen’s University Belfast 2022-24, before taking up his current position.
