‘Universities exist to move towards margins not away from them’
Excellent and thought provoking inaugural lecture by our new President @micireland.bsky.social Dermot Nestor last night on the importance of unlearning as much as learning and resistance and refusal as much as acceptance.

So far I've heard some really rich and interesting stories from my participants on how second-gen identity is negotiated in contemporary Ireland.
Still looking for more participants, and would appreciate another push from my Irish followers if possible 🙏

This is what I'm trying to find out - still looking for suitable participants!

“Most job adverts for senior management positions begin with the need for the applicant to have a world-leading academic record.
But isn’t that rather odd given that neither teaching nor research are in the senior manager’s job description?” 💯

Universities must become more open to non-academic talent: Both within management and the professoriate, the need for a wider range of experience and skills is only getting stronger, says Marcus Munafò

How can we support parents with mental health challenges?
Irish research estimates that roughly one in four families in Ireland have a parent who has experienced mental health difficulties

How do the 'second-gen' make sense of who they are?
How do discourses of 'Irishness' influence how they talk about belonging.
The stories I have heard so far have been incredible, full of humour, candid vulnerability, and agency. I am really excited about where this research project is going.
