Joseph Keene Chadwick was born in California in 1954 and died in Hawai‘i in 1992. He was a vigorous thinker, a generous colleague, and a dedicated teacher. The Joseph Keene Chadwick Endowment Fund was established through the generosity of his mother, Lois Huxtable, and her husband Robert. The Endowment supports the Chadwick Lecture Series at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, an annual series of lectures in the areas most associated with Chadwick’s work: gay studies, Irish studies, multiculturalism and emergent literatures, creative writing, and translation studies.
In 2002 the College of Language, Linguistics, and Literature published Joseph Keene Chadwick: Interventions and Continuities in Irish and Gay Studies, co-edited by John Rieder, Joseph H. O’Mealy, and Valerie Wayne. The volume contains a substantial section of the book on William Butler Yeats’s tragedies that Professor Chadwick left unfinished at his death, along with essays, poems, and translations by Chadwick and others.
