My piece on women and partition in Ireland north and south is in today's @irishtimes.com for #IWD2025! It's an excerpt of my @arinsproject.bsky.social article 'Partition, Revolution & Alternative Futures in Irish Women's Fiction'! Link to my full essay is included. www.irishtimes.com/life-style/p...

Dr Dawn Miranda Sherratt-Bado: Partition was a male invention. How does an all-island view of women’s experiences shift dominant narratives?

Engaging with women’s experiences of partition helps to advance our perception of an enduring trauma and overcome a border in our minds

Partition was a male invention. Gender impacted on how revolutionary events unfolded, and how partition was remembered

First Irish language exhibition in Northern Ireland opens. The Mná na hAthbheochana exhibition at the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland (PRONI) tells the story of the women who revived the use of the Irish language in the north of Ireland. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Great day at the Washington Forum on Northern Ireland
@georgetownuni.bsky.social to culminate #StPatricksDay Week in DC. Fruitful discussion of exciting developments & challenging issues 27 years post-GFA. Talks by Emma Little-Pengelly, Hilary Benn, Jon Boutcher of PSNI & more. Much to reflect on.

Books + delicious deli sandwiches = ideal!

Dr Dawn Miranda Sherratt-Bado @drdawnmiranda.bsky.social · Mar 13

It's tempting alright - Katz's is the best! There's lovely bubbly melted Swiss cheese buried somewhere in that meat mountain too. 😋

Back from a lovely wee jaunt to NYC for UCD's @ucddublin.bsky.social 'An Evening with Anne Enright' @thewrengirl.bsky.social, chaired by @mgtkell.bsky.social! Also made the requisite stops at Katz's Deli for pastrami on rye and matzo ball soup, and @strandbookstore.bsky.social for my biblio fix! 📚

Superb from @drdawnmiranda.bsky.social Irish partition was shaped largely by a few male decision-makers. Women at the time were largely ignored, & they remain too little consulted or considered on the question, north or south. Notable exceptions inc. @katyhayward.bsky.social
