Winning this prize as a researcher in the Humanities means a very great deal because it shows that Humanities research is valued at Aarhus University," said Isabelle Torrance. Isabelle Torrance began her research career at Aarhus University with a 3-year fellowship at AIAS (Aarhus Institute of Advanced Studies) in 2016, coming from a tenured position as Associate Professor at the University of Notre Dame in the US. During her AIAS fellowship stay, Torrance was awarded an ERC Consolidator Grant for her project on "Classical Influences and Irish Culture" (CLIC) (2019-2024). The ERC grant has allowed her to establish her own research group, which is based at Aarhus University, where Isabelle Torrance is professor of Classical Reception in English and Other Modern European Literatures and Cultures since 2019.
