Last month I took part in a plenary session on Early Career Research & Career Building with James Little & Ondřej Pilný at the International Postgraduates Conference in Irish Studies, CU Prague. I start talking about my experiences as an ECR at the 1hr 13 minute mark.

Yesterday I was in Regensburg for the opening of Samuel Beckett: The German Room. It was mad cool to organise the academic programme for this exhibition, and there's more to come in January :)

I was precarious for a long time & in three different countries. I have a lot to say on the topic, so it's nice to start saying some of this tomorrow at the International Postgraduate Conference in Irish Studies, Centre for Irish Studies, CU Prague.

The poet Ellen Dillon read at O’Bhéal go Béal tonight to a packed house. What an artist. Master of craft and scholar of poetry. Proof that good writing takes time and effort. Excited for her next book. Properly achieved poetry tonight. No short cuts.

Feel extremely lucky to work with the class act, poetic genius, and all round legend that is @lizquirke.bsky.social. Read her new essay in @stingingfly.bsky.social, it's amazing!!

‘I don’t believe in the unspeakable or untranslatable. That’s imperial logic and privilege – empire bombs incessantly, and then says the deaths are unspeakable? No, we need to speak about every bomb, every destroyed body, every hour that these bombs landed’–Don Mee Choi, Chicago Review of Books 68.1

"Leeanne Quinn. Read her"

❤️❤️❤️

Born in 1900 "She was forty-four when she gained the right to vote. In 1961, when she married Beckett...French matrimonial law still forbade married women from looking after their own interests: they could not open a bank account or exercise a profession without their husbands’ permission" 🤯

Read this book and be mad as hell!! But read it! There is something so haunted about trying to catch a glimpse of her through the veil of paraphrase the copywrite situation has thrown over her work.

Thank you Sasha! ❤️❤️❤️

Downloaded and reading

Reading tonight in Berlin with Maria Stepanova and Eugene Ostashevsky. www.berliner-kuenstlerprogramm.de/de/events/ly...

I want to briefly talk about one thing people don't really talk about too much with precarity and one thing that most senior staff gloss over, offering a platitude instead of engaging with what is fundamentally wrong with the precarity situation in the UK. 1/

Same!!

🤝🥰

Anyone with even a passing interest in Beckett needs to read Emilie Morin's biography of Suzanne Dumesnil: it's free to download for the next two weeks. This is feminist restorative history in action: read this book!!!

Thank you Claire! 🙏
