It was an honor & a pleasure to be invited by the MIT Coalition for Palestine to speak about the historic connections and continued solidarity between Ireland and Palestine alongside @tiff__thompson!
Perfect way to end the long St. Patrick’s weekend

Even with the snow, we welcomed 30 scholars from around the world to Connolly House for the 9th #Comhfhios conference this past weekend!
Congratulations to all the students who joined us to share their work and to our graduate students for organizing another fantastic conference
#Comhfhios year 9! I can’t wait to see what fantastic work Irish Studies grads are doing!!
Next Saturday, February 7, #BCIrishStudies is thrilled to host the 9th #Comhfhios conference - an event for grads, run by grads
This year's theme, "Violence: Legacies of Conflict in Ireland," has drawn grads from around the globe & we cannot wait to hear what they're working on!
I had a great time hearing really amazing work at #NACBS2025 in Montreal, especially regarding Balck British history.
There’s nothing more academically invigorating than leaving a conference full of excitement for future work. 🤓
#Comhfhios year 9!!
The #BCIrishStudies graduate students are proud to announce the CFP for #Comhfhios2026!
A conference for and by Irish Studies graduate students, we cannot wait to see what talented students apply this year!
Applications are due by December 15

📺 A chairde Gael.....
The propaganda wing of the regime has just contacted us....
They WILL put our set from
Glastonbury today on the I-player later this evening for your viewing pleasure.
The crowd expected today is far greater than West Holts capacity so "you'll need to be very early to catch us father....VERY EARLY"

Cory Booker broke a filibuster record with a 25-hour speech about moral courage and resisting fascism, then turned around and voted to arm a government committing genocide.
Why attend a parade when you can attend a protest? It’s what St Patrick would have wanted

Had a really great time at #ACIS2025 in Savannah, but I was so distracted by the sunshine I took no photos of anything inside at the actual conference…
