Ann Browne Masters Degree Scholarship

About Ann Browne
 

Ann Browne was born October 18, 1949 in Strabane, Northern Ireland, and died of cancer on January 29, 2000.  She read Spanish at Queen’s University Belfast and graduated in the early 1970s.  She then took an MA at London’s Institute of Latin American Studies, before visiting Latin America.  She was inspired by Latin American Literature and the Northern Ireland civil rights movements.  She fought for the rights of Latin American miners, was a Trade Unionist, and supported Chilean refugees.  She moved to Brussels, where she died in 2000. 

To honour her memory and spirit the Browne family set up the Ann Browne Masters Scholarship in Conflict Transformation and Social Justice to commemorate her life and work.
