CFP Irish Exceptionalism – SOFEIR conference – University of Strasbourg, 26-27 March 2026 – SOFEIR
Ireland has often been held to be somehow exceptional, an island on the edge of Europe whose historical, social and cultural trajectories have at times led it to diverge in surprising ways from both its nearest neighbour, Great Britain, and the wider world. This perception of Irish exceptionalism has long played a role in how the island has been understood both within and beyond its borders.

Le débat sur les droits d'inscriptions que le ministre veut ouvrir (à la suite de la proposition 12 du rapport sénatorial d'octobre dernier) est un mirage comptable. Le gain financier sera marginal, ne règlera rien et porte un coût politique et social monstrueux. 🧵⤵️

We need a softness rooted in the fierce desire for radical equality. We need a gentleness grounded in the firm commitment to collective care. We need a tenderness that rests on the steadfast struggle for total emancipation.

Don't try to phish a linguist. 🤨 They will notice that your use of sentence initial 'please' is West African not Irish & that (as the German you're pretending to be) you wouldn't address someone by their first name straight away. So FYI, there's phishing emails in the name of EFACIS circulating.
