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

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...

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!

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
