thank you to @emer.bsky.social for bringing things all together this Saturday at my symposium with such a thoughtful reflection and provocation!
my pal took a pic of me giving a talk ‘National Questions: Shakespeare and Ireland studies, and where we are now’ as part of @eilissmyth.bsky.social’s Hibernian Shakespeare symposium at TCD last weekend. Grateful to Eilís for organising a great event and for inviting me to do this.
