Irish Studies Around the World – 2025
Irish Studies around the world is growing year on year. I know from my own work on the IASIL committee, where we capture a snapshot of the work happening around the world, that Irish Studies centres are blooming from Taiwan to Tehran. We had 448 events in 23 countries in our report for 2024/25. The Irish Times carried a huge feature on the excellent Irish Studies conference in Mexico lead by Professor Aurora Piñeiro (McCarthy 2025). The conferenc…
Mitigating Medical Debt as a Public Health Equity Issue
Developing a health promoting university in Trinity College Dublin—overview and outline process evaluation
Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) have the potential to impact positively on the health and wellbeing of their staff and students.

Ireland depends on migrant workers, documented and undocumented to meet this growing need. Oona Frawley’s 2014 novel Flight tells the story of one of these workers. In the novel, Sandrine, from Zimbabwe, gets a job as a live-in carer for the ageing Clare and Tom, working 24/7 with just one afternoon off. Set just befor…

Documenting how these characters negotiate the dark spaces of the city, Unigwe highlights the structural inequalities and legislative failures that keep these women in a state of exception. The novel offers a portrait of the contemporary city and the precarious position of those locked out of lega…

On Being Precarious
In this essay, I reflect on my experience of part-time, fixed term, zero-hour, short-term, and unpaid contracts in academia. Precarious contracts are one of the biggest challenges facing our industry as neo-liberal values rule our institutions, impacting our teaching, research, and quality of life.
Supernatural Cities
Far from being a static or eroding cultural inheritance from the past, the supernatural has continually been appropriated and updated to accommodate and express social, cultural, economic and environmental anxieties. Since the Enlightenment, supernatural beliefs and practices have largely been derided as ignorant and un-modern - even anti-modern - and cities, being the ultimate symbol of progress and rationality, have not been thought to harbour …

Recent research undertaken by Waking the Feminists has irrefutably proved that there is a bias in Irish Theatre, across the board(s), against women. This important work has shown that the stories w
