Thank you Tom.

I regret it took me a month to discover this, but of course once I did I pre-ordered it instantly! A decade after first reading this, I'm still enthralled by the possibilities of #EvaGoreBooth studies — if that is a thing. And if it isn't, we need to make it one for 2026 and beyond!

Here’s how to get my one-off ink on paper drawings. There’s a special offer now, where when you purchase a drawing, you can get a second for just €50 [about £45/$55]. Just DM me to let me sort it out for you! Visit: robbohan.etsy.com

Thanks again to wonderful editor @sonjatiernan.bsky.social for opportunity to contribute to #Saothar50. Having this opportunity to write about how Irish housewives felt about their unpaid labour in the home & how their experiences inspired #activism has been brilliant. #womensgrassrootsactivism

Oh my goodness. What a gift she was!

So grateful to @sonjatiernan.bsky.social & editors of #Saothar50 for opportunity to write on Irish housewives. By mad coincidence my ma was interviewed about her everyday experiences in 1968 & that features in my new article. #familyhistory #femaleactivism dublinfestivalofhistory.ie/event/specia...

Looking forward to attending launch of #Saothar50 in Dublin next week 😀. This is a jam packed edition & was delighted to be asked to write article about #Irishhousewives in 1960s & 1970s, featuring a Swedish newspaper interview from 1968 on their everyday experiences, with my mum ❤️. #familyhistory.

Excellent to see this! www.rte.ie/entertainmen...

Join the Irish Humanities Alliance and @sahavoice.bsky.social at @ria.ie for a half day event - Irish-Scottish cultural diplomacy and relations. Tickets are booking fast and can be secured 👇 www.tickettailor.com/events/royal...

It's notable that humanities and social sciences once again make up 50% of ERC starting awards in Ireland (a notably higher proportion than in other countries) despite the weak financial support for research in these disciplines nationally. We should fund what we're good at!

The event will feature a panel on ‘Culture, collaboration and diaspora', followed by a presentation of exceptional research projects funded by the Ireland-Scotland Bilateral Network Grants. @murrayp.bsky.social @sonjatiernan.bsky.social ‪ @brirechamber.bsky.social Programme and tickets 👇

Join us for a special event to mark the landmark 50th volume of Saothar: Journal of Irish Labour History, a refereed journal dedicated to the study of Irish working-class history … Co-edited by myself, Mary Muldowney, John Cunningham and Brian Hanley. dublinfestivalofhistory.ie/event/specia...

To withdraw your first book, in particular, from a prize is a very big deal - and not something to be taken lightly. If you like the look of any of these, please consider buying them and show the authors some love

Such an impressive volume to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Saothar. A pleasure to edit alongside esteemed colleagues.

Join SAHA and the @irishhumanities.bsky.social for a half-day event on Irish-Scottish cultural diplomacy and relations. The hybrid event will take place on Friday, September 26th, from 14:30 until 17:30 at the Royal Irish Academy (@ria.ie )
