 Brónach Gollogly graduated from UCD with a MA in Spanish (Research) entitled ‘Ernesto Cardenal- The Art of Protest’. This was followed by two years working as an Associate Lecturer in NUI Galway where she taught Language and Literature across the BA programme in Spanish. 

1992: Awarded a Research fellowship by the Mexican Embassy to Ireland to undertake post-graduate research at the Colegio de México (Mexico D.F.). 

2000: Completed a PhD (Trinity College Dublin) entitled ‘Defining and Re-defining the Margins - An Exploration of the Discourse of Post-coloniality in the verse of Nicolás Guillén, Pablo Neruda and Ernesto Cardenal.’ 

Brónach has almost 30 years’ experience teaching Spanish Language at Third Level and has also taught modules on Spanish/Hispanic Literature, culture/politics, and cinema on undergraduate programmes in Business and Humanities. In recent years she has supervised dissertations (Yr4) and projects (Yr3) on the CDM/ MPDA programme and taught Technical/Academic English to students on the Access/Part-time programme, to visiting students of Pharmaceutical Science (Nanjing Tech) and has supported students with Academic English writing workshops. 

Brónach has acted as external examiner at LYIT (ATU, Letterkenny) and AIT (TUS-Midlands campus). 

Brónach and two other colleagues co-founded The Culture Xchange @ TU Dublin on the Tallaght campus as part of a Teaching and Learning Support Fellowship. This initiative supported the meaningful enhancement and experiences of the semester abroad for incoming Erasmus students and helped inform intercultural awareness and sensitisation of fulltime students (especially First Year undergraduates/visiting postgraduates) with a series of themed events. The Culture Xchange continues to contribute to campus cultural awareness and has also engaged in outreach through its organisation of the highly successful annual Christmas Market on the Tallaght campus.
