I am now naught but last generation’s thinker. But huge congrats to this group, especially the very brilliant @ShonaMinson

#BSC2024 felt like a reminder that being together as a community is our best defence against the university antics that continually pushes us to compete for funding, for publications, for jobs.And being a community focused on the problems of injustice feels like a powerful thing

I am giving a lunchtime talk next week in Edinburgh, IASH, Edinburgh Come along if you are about and interested in Magdalene laundries and the politics of storytelling iash.ed.ac.uk/event/dr-louis…

Speaking at this excellent looking symposium tomorrow morning. Talking about the cultural afterlife of Magdalene Laundries. We are in a commemoration boom: books, movies, art, poetry, redress, a museum is coming. Yet they remain veiled in misunderstanding. Why?

Really honoured to be awarded a Giles St Aubyn award from the Royal Society of Literature to support me in my writing and research into the rise, fall and afterlives of Ireland's Magdalene Laundries. You can hear more about my work so far here bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

Loved this Mark Cousins interview with David Lynch. I miss this. Serious film discussions and proper interviews led by questions and not comments youtube.com/watch?v=MIlmdL…

One of my attempts to understand #DavidLynch, a long TV interview. Think I fell in love a bit. Was hard not to. youtube.com/watch?v=MIlmdL…

Should you be in Belfast and interested in the cultural afterlife of Magdalene Laundries, I will be there speaking about exactly that this month. Thanks to QUB Institute of Criminology and Criminal Justice for the invitation.

New exhibition, LAB gallery, Dublin:What does it mean to know? Sinead McCann and I have two sculptural pieces. They're about Magdalene Laundries, but not the past. They are about the present, and the ways we remember (and misremember) the Laundries dublincityartsoffice.ie/programmes-pro…
