Sad to be leaving Delhi after an amazing week at Miranda House. It was lovely to speak with students and to meet lots of people doing
interesting research on Indo-Irish connections. Thanks to @ndirishstudies.bsky.social and Notre Dame Mumbai for bringing us together.
Loved hearing more about the project, Ciara! Keep up the great work

Céad míle fáilte to the Derry Girls. This image appears in the Melbourne Advocate in July 1911 and relates to some 34 shirt workers who went to Melbourne to help set up the Welch Margetson Factory there. The workforce in Derry was unmatched and world leading in skill and quality.
This documentary was so much fun to make. It’s compiled from audio we gathered across a couple of years and follows two amazing women - Meg and Dympna - all the way to Jamaica, in search of Meg’s ancestor: an Irish Catholic enslaver and coffee planter, Peter Daly
