Gráinne Coughlan

IRC Enterprise Partnership Postdoctoral Scholar @ Create + TU Dublin exploring frameworks for evaluating socially engaged art. coys*

[Gráinne Coughlan @DrGraSpud]

Officially joined @tudublin as @IrishResearch enterprise partnership post-doc scholar to develop a new evaluation of socially engaged art informed by its complexity rather than administrative criteria alone, with @CreateIreland.

@TodayFM I've lost a ring.... how do I make contact with you to check if it might be mine?

[Gráinne Coughlan @DrGraSpud]

@jamesmcconachi1 I dont usually get drawn into these things but I'd love to think we can call out racists and bigots without espousing superiority and pre-judging others choices of holiday, wedding, food, etc. Because that's called classism.

I'm undertaking @projectarts mid-way evaluation of their Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Policy and I want to include your perspectives. Your feedback is so important. So if you visit 'Project' regularly, sometimes, or even never, please take some time for this short survey!🙏

🗣️ We want to hear from you!

We've reached an important mid-way evaluation point for our TEDI Policy, and we want to hear different perspectives and experiences from our audiences, artists, collaborators, and the general public. By listening to how others are experiencing our efforts to create change, we can learn what is working well and what is more challenging.

Your feedback will take only a few minutes. All answers are confidential, and you will not be individually identified.

We can't wait to hear from you!

@wildswimspain I know this was many years ago now, but do you have any advice for swimming in Amiens? We are going in July. Thanks.

[Gráinne Coughlan @DrGraSpud]

@ParaicMcQ @BenWalmsley I think there's a lot of precarious workers across all sectors who are experiencing similar deprivation in comparison to this over generalised "whole of society" though.

@_helenblackmore @Education_Ire @TUIunion The question is how to change this!

[Gráinne Coughlan @DrGraSpud]

@Education_Ire Hourly paid lectures teaching 9 hrs p/w x 2 semesters wi ear €7930. Assistant lectures teaching full time (18hrs) earn €43,073 p/year. Theoretically teaching half this = €21,536. Simple math demonstrates ludicrousness.
HPAL systems must be redressed!
@TUIunion

[Gráinne Coughlan @DrGraSpud]

@Education_Ire An Hourly Paid Assistant Lecturer teaching 9 hours p/w x 2 semesters earns €7930
An Assistant Lecturer teaching 18 hrs earns €43,073 salary p/y (theoretically, teaching 9 hrs would = €21.536).
Simple math shows exploitation @ heart of State's use of HPALs.

[Gráinne Coughlan @DrGraSpud]

@Education_Ire an hourly paid assistant lecturer (HPAL) teaching 9 hrs x 2 semester earns €7931.
An AL teaching 18 hrs (full time) earns €43.536 p/y.
(theoretically AL doing 9 hours earns 21.536)

Simple maths suggests the state is saving a fortune via HPALs. Redress needed!

[Gráinne Coughlan @DrGraSpud]

I'm just going to say it HPAL (hourly paid assistant lecture-ing) is a crazy system, it may not have started off as exploitative but the way it seems to be used now is! this is not to point fingers at third levels insts alone but @Education_Ire!

[Gráinne Coughlan @DrGraSpud]

@paulapnolan I usually don't do this, but what exactly is a scary character? While I appreciate there can be a lot of fear around dublin right now, I think we need to be careful of assumption/prejudice too.....

[Gráinne Coughlan @DrGraSpud]

Could any #postdocs in #ireland funded by @IrishResearch let me know if their university insists on topping up their award inline with the salary for full-time researcher roles?

#researchinIreland #humanities @IUAofficial

[Gráinne Coughlan @DrGraSpud]

@de_Paor Then I'm not sure what the problem is....

[Gráinne Coughlan @DrGraSpud]

@de_Paor For sure, however I would like to think "digestible" art can also be good art...

[Gráinne Coughlan @DrGraSpud]

@ConKennedy @WeAreTUDublin @StAudoensNS @LibertiesCollD8 Big congrats Con!

[Gráinne Coughlan @DrGraSpud]

@de_Paor Just wondering what exactly 'facilitate audiences' means or looks like to you?

[Gráinne Coughlan @DrGraSpud]

Really enjoyed talking through all things evaluation with the wonderful Susanne Bosch. (Thanks @CreateIreland for facilitating)

[Create Collaborative Arts @CreateIreland]

Create News #34 is now live online and winging its way to postboxes across the country! This issue features Dr. Gráinne Coughlan, postdoctoral researcher at TU Dublin, discussing assumptions around evaluation in conversation with artist Dr. Susanne Bosch:

[Gráinne Coughlan @DrGraSpud]

@nedglasier agree so much with this, out of interest do you think that other buzz word 'collaboration' is the same or different to co-creation?
