I've been sitting on this secret for a long time, but I can finally announce that my book Reeling in the Queers: Tales of Ireland's LGBTQ Past will be released this June, right in time for Pride season with the lovely folks at New Island Books

The insanity of the Irish far right quaking over *checks notes* Ireland’s Eurovision entrant! Carlow currently shaking it seems 🤣🤣

Fantastic.

Happy to announce our project ‘Resisting Hate: Developing Safeguards and Toolkits for Public Librarians Against Reactionary Responses to LGBTQ Materials’ - a partnership with LGBT Ireland from IrishResearchCouncil alongside colleagues Claire McGuinness Crystal Fulton Eugenia Siapera @[email protected]

Colleagues Richard Carson & Chipo Harper of ACET Ireland, Páraic Kerrigan Asst Professor University College Dublin Media and Communications, and Dr Erin Nugent HIV Ireland discuss 'Building a Place of Memory' regarding #HOV & #AIDS with @tonie_walsh at the Monument to a Plague event Google Ireland.

An icon.

About damn time!

Very saddened to discover the news of Edmund Lynch's passing: a trailblazer, who did much often unseen heavy lifting in varying parts of his LGBTQ activism. I am particularly indebted to his kindness when I just started my PhD - always a huge support.

Very excited (and especially honoured) to join colleagues and activists for 'Decriminalization at 30' in TCD tomorrow.

My paper below is one of many to commemorate a seismic shift in Irish LGBTQ lives.
