APRIL 5 On this day in 1698, the Dominicans of Galway, having been expelled from the country, entrusted their possessions to Valentine Browne, a merchant. The list included a silver crown for the Blessed Virgin, and ‘several small coats for the image of Jesus’. #otd #IrishOP800

Together with UN Special Procedures colleagues, I highlight serious concerns about trafficking of women and girls belonging to religious minorities in #Pakistan, and other forms of targeted sexual and gendered based violence.

Wonderful to see a large and keen audience for our Research Associate @FinnUniofGalway's talk on censorship and modern Ireland last week.

This: “Trinity has an obligation to protect the Book of Kells which is a national treasure”. It costs €19-25 to see it. Derrynaflan chalice, Faddanmore Psalter &c &c: cost to see - €0 I am sure the National Museum will take care of it for you if it's a burden.

We are pleased to announce that our colleague, Professor Roja Fazaeli, has been appointed as Deputy Chairperson of the Board of Directors Front Line Defenders, (the international human rights organisation). More info: frontlinedefenders.org/en/board-direc… #UniversityOfGalway #ForYouForTomorrow

The British Academy has today published its manifesto, calling on the next government to urgently bolster the humanities and social sciences in higher education and research to fully address the UK's biggest challenges. Read the full manifesto below: thebritishacademy.ac.uk/news/the-briti…

Always miffed by the suggestion that the premodern isn't relevant. The premodern is the starkest reminder that the world wasn't always like it is now, and that humans were instrumental in changing it (for better and worse). Isn't that the most important thing to grasp right now?

So true. It's mind-bending what it takes to push universities to acquire any kind of moral compass, & it's mind-bending that so many full professors and high-level staff (some, not all) have remained completely silent. We hope this can now change. Thanks to our students & UCD BDS

Reminder: Agency and Authority in Islams, 17th June! See below for registration details.
