Ireland Fellows
Alumni Association
Keeping up the mantle of Roger Casement's legacy in Human Rights.
Voices from the Fellowship
Hear from alumni about the impact of the Casement Fellowship on their lives and careers.
“In my course, I got to learn new laws and legislations in different countries and continents. We also had exposure to different lecturers from across the globe. My course raised the bar for me. I now give people with disabilities voices and autonomy, and push people with disabilities to be a part of the decision-making process.”

“My experience on the Ireland Fellows Programme and studying at the University of Limerick, combined with my time in Ireland, has significantly shaped my professional path. This period provided me with a deep understanding of human rights, honed my critical thinking and analytical abilities, and fostered a strong network of professionals. ”
