Two days, two Irish annual Conferences: Irish Conference of Medievalists @tcddublin.bsky.social and Women's History Association of Ireland @whaireland.bsky.social, but one paper.

Superb talk Bernadette 👏

Since herself @justrena.bsky.social was teaching down the way in Limerick, and had a grand time in good company, I am always going to think well of Mary I. Which is more than I could say of many other third level institutions in Ireland.

First day of conference and things are looking good here at Mary I. The wheather is lovely this morning.

Important discussion happening at the moment and we encourage our members to sign the letter. openletter.earth/concern-abou...
