The impact of @oldirelandincolour.bsky.social - it's inspiring, amazing, and something we could never have imagined @sarahannebuckley.bsky.social, Merrion Press 💚

This will be my last seminar as convenor before I hand over to @sarahannebuckley.bsky.social. I've run the seminar since 2021; it's been an absolute pleasure. A job asking interesting people to come and chat to us for an hour-and-a-half *and* I get to have lunch/coffee with them beforehand? Perfect.

Another of our recent articles reflects on the power of language in relation to Irish mother and baby homes. @sarahannebuckley.bsky.social, Carmel Devaney and Caroline McGregor ask how have harmful words been used to stigmatise those directly affected by Ireland's institutional history?
