@noteworthy-ie.bsky.social shining an important spotlight on the challenges faced by families in visiting loved ones in prison. Children have a right to contact with their parents. This needs to be understood as their right and met effectively by the prison system.

It looks like the proposed amendment to Article 41 of the Irish Constitution, which refers to 'duties in the home' will be available shortly:

Referendum on women in the home to be held next March
International Women’s Day may be chosen as the polling day for proposal to delete references in the Constitution to ‘women’s duties in the home’

Just arrived into Bluesky: thanks @srmwilliams.bsky.social
Working on 1) EU funding reporting for the Traveller Equality and Justice Project (access to justice, equality and effective vindication of rights) 2) theorising decarceration from the perspective of children with an imprisoned family member
Bluesky academics, let's get to know each other! Quote this & tell me: 1) a project you are working on & 2) an odd idea/theory you aren't working on but keep thinking about.
Here's mine:
- Whether we can have statehood without inhabitable land.
- The legal-philosophical symbolism in Wagner's Ring.
