The Association of Franco-Irish Studies (AFIS) was initiated by the NCFIS to facilitate both conferences and publications in Ireland and in France.

Sarah Balen is the current President of the Association of Franco-Irish Studies (AFIS) and a lecturer of Urban, American, and Contemporary Anglophone and Irish Literature at the Institute of Art, Design and Technology (IADT), Dublin. She was awarded a research fellowship at the National Centre for Franco-Irish Studies, TU Dublin, where she completed a doctoral thesis which analysed interconnections between the works of several city poets including Charles Baudelaire, Fernando Pessoa, T.S. Eliot and contemporary Irish poet Peter Sirr. A particular focus was on the role of woman or other within the city space. She has published a number of chapters on these and other poets, including Paula Meehan, and has co-edited Sounding the Margins: Literary Examples from France and Ireland (Peter Lang Oxford, 2022) with Eamon Maher. |
