Dr Éamon Phoenix (1953-2022)

It is with sadness that Stranmillis University College learned of the passing of our friend and  distinguished former colleague Dr Éamon Phoenix. During his long career at Stranmillis, Éamon was a much loved Principal Lecturer and one of the pre-eminent historians of our time, with the ability to bring history to life. Éamon’s enthusiasm for his subject and dedication to his students marked him out as an exceptional educator.

Éamon will be greatly missed by colleagues, former students, the wider Stranmillis community and so many within Northern Ireland and beyond. At this time, the staff and Governing Body of Stranmillis University College would wish to extend our deepest condolences to the Phoenix family circle.
