Loads of good food!! And, yeah, it was really great. And great to see ye all again - in person, rather than just via Zoom.

It's always great to spend time with @aoifeolearymcneice.bsky.social @erikahanna.bsky.social @momoulton.bsky.social & Patrick Doyle. Even better to work on this project - and book - together. As Mo said after one of our Zoom meetings: "I was come away from our conversations a little bit smarter."

I was chatting to a colleague recently about all the collaborations I've done over the years. They asked me how I'd gotten into so many collective projects. The answer is simple: seek out the good people that you want to spend time with first and the academic stuff will follow.

As part of the workshop, we'll walk to the site, while also exploring entanglements of human and more-than-human activity that have shaped this place along the way. East Cork is now a site of industrialised agriculture, but it's been marked by Empire, globalised commodity chains, etc, for centuries.

The projects are also linked by Killeagh as a 'site of fracture' against totalising capitalism. I've been working on a case study from the 1980s when locals campaigned (and eventually won) against plans by US multinational Merrell Dow to establish a pharmaceutical plant just outside the village.

We also wanted to talk about these challenges in situ, since we want to explore physical environments as a source for modern Irish history. The added value in Killeagh is working with artists from thisour.ie (a project I'm also involved with), who are deep-mapping the community-owned woodland.

I'm only about one-third of the way through it, but it's really resonating with some of the environmental history writing I've been thinking of. Particularly, the issue of bodily permeability.
