Yesterday, I had the privilege of attending the Inaugural Professorial Lecture of Professor Roisín Higgins at @MaynoothUni — it was a moving and memorable occasion.

Professor Higgins spoke with great insight and sensitivity about her project, Sensing the Troubles, which explores how people experienced Northern Ireland’s Troubles through the senses — through the sounds, smells, and textures of daily life. She spoke of “putting together the shards of memory” to reveal new ways of understanding the past. This powerful phrase has stayed with me.

Warm congratulations to Professor Higgins on an inspiring inaugural lecture!

Could a box of 8mm amateur film reels change Irish film history? Despite Flora Kerrigan's youth at the time of her filmmaking, her work demonstrates someone ahead of her time. By Sarah Arnold @MU_MediaStudies @MaynoothUni and Kasandra O'Connell @IFI_Dub https://t.co/L6zMHbYD9u

Have you heard about “trad wives” as an antifeminist movement? What if I explained how trad wives actually enjoy rights won by feminism every day? It’s the hidden history of the sex bombshells cooking at home! https://t.co/qFlKHQwmhB
