1 yr on, we use 1983 8th Amendment Irish Constitution & 2018 Repeal the 8th to examine how feminists transformed “the Irish family” from coldness/despair to hope/happiness...free to read - awesome co-au @katieebarclay.bsky.social & fab co-eds @evansmithhist.bsky.social @jimmywintermute.bsky.social

I am so proud of this. To my amazing colleagues who nominated me, thank you. Life imitating research & vice versa. *Maybe fittingly (but also weirdly), on the day of the ceremony for UOW inaugural IWD awards, I was in Bondi speaking to Stan TV, media & TV-media-$ ppl on Oz pub & bikini bans!

Msgr Murray RIP 25/2/2025 ~
Married my folks, tireless against state oppression in the Troubles, Irish lang champ, "asked" (formidably) me to review Oz exhib for his Armagh jnl, hilariously "threatened" my wee one with an axe when said boy pointed a wooden Emain Mhacha sword 1/2

A day of being a support person for very beautiful colleagues at meetings where 'excess' or 'downsized' decisions are confirmed. WBY's '...for peace comes dropping slow...' is a soothing reminder to breath. Sending glimmers, glows, & lake water lapping to anyone needing it.

When you think you'll go that bit extra to present yourself (ie wear earrings) for Change Management meetings in the hope they'll be so impressed they'll rethink redundancies & you fail miserably. Workers' comp?! 🤔😒

'Cos of this amazing opp, I am now getting used to working with real live ppl [not just ghosts] in the archives! [DP2023-6 So fortunate ~ we got funded! Terrific team ~
