The (almost) full moon having a big day yesterday at @maynoothuniversity.ie 🌙

Spotify: this year, you mostly listened to metal bands like Nightwish and recent indie releases like Florence and the Machine's new album
also Spotify:

Having a productive time at the @genocidescholars.bsky.social conference in Johannesburg this week! Hearing experts' ideas and approaches is fundamental to forming my own projects as they continue to develop. Thank you to @researchireland.ie for making it possible!

I'm usually not one to post too many personal updates on social media, but you only run your first marathon once, so... #MaratonWarszawski

Greatly appreciated the chance to present at the @biahs1.bsky.social conference at the University of Kent in beautiful Canterbury last week! It was a great chance to engage with new pedagogical and research approaches to the field of Holocaust Studies.

Great day for the Chapelizod Community Festival-- would be wonderful to have more closures of Main Street through the village, especially with the lovely summer weather and long evenings.

Spotted in Warsaw's Stary Mokotów neighbourhood on 22 June, 2025: a balcony flying the EU and LGBT pride flags above one with a banner hanging for the defunct presidential campaign of Grzegorz Braun, known for his pro-Russian, anti-LGBT, and antisemitic views.

Finally had a chance to see this harrowing but essential film in New York. Absolutely deserving of all of the accolades it received, 'No Other Land' provides essential context to the relationship between dwelling and identity in Palestine.

It was a pleasure to share my work at the conference 'The Role of Auschwitz in Holocaust Narratives,' organised by @azrielimemoirs.bsky.social, in Toronto over the weekend. It was a great chance to meet other scholars and discuss their thoughts and work on this topic. @researchireland.ie

Google automatically showed me Walter Goggins when I tried to look up Walter Gropius and now I can't unsee it.

I tell all my friends that my postdoc has been so productive and I'm writing everyday like a monk in a tower, but they don't know that this is the monk I have in mind.

Had a great time exploring Belfast on Saturday, including a most welcome surprise encounter from an old North American friend...

Nothing like a travel menorah to make you feel at home for the holidays! ✨ Glad to have visited and looking forward to the New Year.

Just got my tickets to see #TheBrutalist in 70mm at the Irish Film Institute in January! Can't remember the last time I was so stoked for a cinematic release. 📽️
