So excited about Meitheal - our new Irish Studies grad student workshop! We’ve got a full semester of seminar papers and skills workshops planned so feel free to reach out if you’re interested in joining ☺️☘️📚
Yesterday we had our first Irish Studies graduate student workshop!
Named ‘meitheal’ to inspire a coming together to help a community for the greater good, we’re expecting amazing word to come from these grads this year!
If any of my fellow grad students are considering attending the NE/MA Regional ACIS (‘Ireland at Risk’) this October & also love yapping about the precarity of grad students in Irish Studies… feel free to slide into my dms bc I’m thinking about a roundtable 👀
So thrilled to speak at the Easter Rising commemoration tomorrow – love talking about women's militancy during the Irish Revolution! Hope to see you there!
