21 Nov. 2025: I had the honour to share my research on Ireland's literary infrastructure and its subsidised creative economy with colleagues and delegates at the Embassy of Ireland in Berlin. A day full of brilliant talks on Irish heritage, commodified Irishness, the Irish language, and much more!

1 Stelle an der Uni als Maßnahme gegen das #Pendeln?! Die Werbung der Uni Kiel, 📸 @yvonnealtaie.bsky.social, hat zu Recht für Ärger gesorgt in der #IchBinHanna Community — auch bei mir.

Montagmorgen 7:30 Uhr am Kieler Hbf. Ich pendele nach Greifswald, weil meine #WissZeitVG Stelle an der CAU Kiel ausläuft, und werde mit dem Werbeslogan begrüsst: „Keine Lust mehr auf Pendeln? Dann bleib doch einfach hier! Karriere an der Uni Kiel.“ Liebe Uni Kiel, ich fühle mich verhöhnt!

My article on the Irish narrative of no community looks at young female passivity and disaffect in current fiction. Looking at 18 texts published since 2015 and at @prasifcat.bsky.social 's debut more closely. Open access! If you're in the mood to be disenchanted! doi.org/10.33675/ANG...
Narratives of No Community
