It brings to Dublin #manuscripts from #StGallen #Switzerland amongst them:

A heartbreaking yet of extremely importance panel on Despair & Denial: Reproductive Loss covering different yemporalities and yet provided me with plenty of food for thought to interpret earlier sources evidencing similar cases of violence

The closing of the 1st day of #whai2025 was excelent with a fascinating keynote with a very unique situation where a Historian have the opportunity of producing a history of a family member

It was an honour to contribute to a very inspiring and provoking session on #Grief thanks to all the the organizers of the #whai2025 @whaireland.bsky.social
