After Virginia Haussegger's 'Unfinished Revolution', I needed distance from fem rage - theirs & mine - for a moment, but Jen Robinson & Keina Yoshida's 'How Many More' has me right back here. Grateful for brilliant women using their professional knowledge to expose despair & hope re gender equality

Still time to listen in as @philippabarr.bsky.social & @dittemunch.bsky.social discuss disgust - its historical, moral, social manifestations and our reactions to it!

DISGUST ~ un- & dis-comforting, ingratiating its way into our senses ~ repugnant, offensive. Here, I have the absol pleasure of learning from world experts, Philippa Nicole Barr & Ditte Marie Munch-Jurisic, on public health & warfare. LISTEN IN! cambridgeuniversitypress.podbean.com/e/hot-off-th...

When you see 'What social activities can I join?' on the back of uni loo door & instead read 'What social justice activities can I join?' you know you are desperate to get back to this article on protest rather than do all your other uni jobs!

1 yr on, we use 1983 8th Amendment Irish Constitution & 2018 Repeal the 8th to examine how feminists transformed “the Irish family” from coldness/despair to hope/happiness...free to read - awesome co-au @katieebarclay.bsky.social & fab co-eds @evansmithhist.bsky.social @jimmywintermute.bsky.social

A fabulous experience with fab co-editors and amazing authors...resulting in a cutting edge collection on transnational and activist Ireland. Have a read. All free.

It absolutely kills me & my devoted colleagues to be teaching beautiful cohorts of bright, engaged, inquisitive young people, knowing that they are being unfairly burdened with a massive debt because of ideological views. Sign here to petition the Albanese gov't to act on this now ↓

The @austhistassoc.bsky.social is proud to have initiated this open letter asking for the repeal of the egregious JRG punishment of humanities and social sciences in Australia. Read about the 100 signatories below, and please sign in solidarity yourself: www.openpetition.org/au/petition/...

1 yr ago @katieebarclay.bsky.social & I pub'd (freely avail): “She is finally home”: feminist storytelling, family imaginaries and transnational solidarity in Irish abortion activism in issue on transnational Ire by me, @evansmithhist.bsky.social & J Wintermute. www.tandfonline.com/toc/cisr20/3...

Read on anti-colonialism & internationalism in pages of Connelly Assoc. ⏬️

Listening to our uni's VC Townhall & the passion & hurt of our professional colleagues who are now subject to change mgt is heart-breaking & enraging. 'Tell us what value you are to the institution'??? Shifting onus for problem-solving onto shoulders of those being disestablished/demoted is awful.

I am so proud of this. To my amazing colleagues who nominated me, thank you. Life imitating research & vice versa. *Maybe fittingly (but also weirdly), on the day of the ceremony for UOW inaugural IWD awards, I was in Bondi speaking to Stan TV, media & TV-media-$ ppl on Oz pub & bikini bans!

Msgr Murray RIP 25/2/2025 ~ Married my folks, tireless against state oppression in the Troubles, Irish lang champ, "asked" (formidably) me to review Oz exhib for his Armagh jnl, hilariously "threatened" my wee one with an axe when said boy pointed a wooden Emain Mhacha sword 1/2

A day of being a support person for very beautiful colleagues at meetings where 'excess' or 'downsized' decisions are confirmed. WBY's '...for peace comes dropping slow...' is a soothing reminder to breath. Sending glimmers, glows, & lake water lapping to anyone needing it.

When you think you'll go that bit extra to present yourself (ie wear earrings) for Change Management meetings in the hope they'll be so impressed they'll rethink redundancies & you fail miserably. Workers' comp?! 🤔😒

Mainly for my own ease, I've put together an Irish Diaspora Histories starter pack (I shall be putting them all into a list for when I want an extra dose of Irish diaspora-ness) - there are some Irish migration historians in there too! Let me know if you want me to add you in! go.bsky.app/MvvgFFF

Ive been asking every man alive if they know whether women can pee with a tampon in as a result of this article and the results are shocking me!!! www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Glad to see female IRA members dressed as nuns is to the fore in Say Nothing (and the many tensions around that) - carrying on a tradition that goes way back. I've got an article on nuns and Irish revolution in Women's History Review (2022) if you're intrigued www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
