"Something is deeply wrong with this system, when people who are wealthy are getting far wealthier...and people who don't have a lot are falling further and further behind."

"Racial inequality, segregation, conflict, and distrust seem ascendant. Yet Christian empirically focuses on, without retreat to rose-colored views, how social life is not pre-ordained".

Sometimes controversial, strongly opinionated, but never dull, Michael D Higgins' 14-year term as Uachtarán na hÉireann comes to an end this week after many historic moments that helped define modern-day Ireland

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
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!
