When I was growing up there wasn’t enough movies for everyone so we had to take turns with the movies and if you took too long on your turn we’d charge you a lot of money

This is really close to my heart being the da of an Irish-Hungarian.
Unfortunately my lad's too young but if you know anyone over 18 link em up. Chatted with Dave recently and tis a really interesting subject.

Never been a man less suited to late Elizabethan fashions than William Russell. Looks like he was born to flip sausages on a barbecue wearing t-shirt, shorts with lots of pockets, and crocs.

'Mainstream politicians may be tempted to give in to radical-right discourse to mitigate their success, but such accommodative strategies may have detrimental effects for democracy and its associated values.'

Gonna try and be as fair as possible here.

Journalists are not prosecutors and the bar for what we say or print is not as high. But.

If one side admits knowingly killing 5 journalists but says that one was terrorist, if you carry those words they have to be caveated with "without offering proof".

Mine is to not go camping. Hear hear!

Still recruiting!

Born in Ireland?
Parents who migrated here?
Grew up in Limerick or the Mid-West?

I'm doing a research project on second-generation identity and would love to chat with you.

Please share with anyone who might be interested - it would mean a lot 🙏

Increasingly I think a major function of “masculinity” IS its crisis — a vehicle for the dominant & dominating group to justify focusing their social attentions primarily on themselves

This one gave us goosebumps.

Weekly repost alert!

I'm looking to speak with young adults, aged 18-30, who were born in Ireland to at least one migrant parent, and have grown up in Limerick or the Midwest of Ireland.

Let's talk about home, belonging, and what it means to be Irish.

Applications are still open for a Departmental Assistant at @micireland.bsky.social for the 2025/26 academic year.

This role is extremely rewarding and offers an excellent pathway for funding postgraduate research.

More info here: www.mic.ul.ie/faculty-of-a...

Can confirm: the coffee is worth it! And the other stuff too of course...

Cf. psychology.

The first research skill we tend to teach our students is how to do a t-test. I wonder has anyone ever traced how that shapes students' subsequent understandings of what psychological research *is*.

Come work with us!

We are recruiting for a 1 year fixed term Assistant Professor in Psychology

@micireland.bsky.social has a beautiful campus right in the heart of Limerick city & MICPsych is a small but beautifully formed welcoming & supportive department

DCU welcomes the recent decision of the Press Ombudsman, upheld by the Press Council, regarding the University’s complaint about articles published by Gript.ie. The decision by the Press Ombudsman stated “The articles purported to reveal that the course presented teachers with exercises that were for replication in school classrooms, and that these used extremely sexually explicit language and visual materials showing sexual organs and sexual activity.” The Ombudsman found that the articles “contained no evidence that DCU was doing anything other than running a post graduate course to enable adult teachers of SPHE/RSE to teach the subject to secondary school children in support of the national curriculum.” This decision was upheld by The Press Council. The University has always maintained that materials used on the Graduate Diploma in SPHE/RSE are provided only to the teachers as adults in the context of their broader SPHE/RSE education on the programme. The Ombudsman’s decision, and that of the Press Council, vindicates this. The University stands firmly over the content of the course and with the academic staff who deliver it. The Press Ombudsman’s decision can be read in full here. More information about the course is available at dcu.ie/sphe A number of teachers have also spoken about their positive experience of the DCU programme. The Graduate Diploma in SPHE/RSE continues to train teachers in the provision of the curriculum, and welcomed a new cohort at the beginning of this year.

Fair play to DCU for holding Gript into account, which sadly rarely happens.

Interviews so far have been incredibly rich, with loads being discussed.

I'm still looking for more participants though - born in Ireland, aged 18-30, and have grown up in Limerick or the Mid-West.

Please let anyone you know who might be interested about this study 🌏🌍

Fantastic work here from my colleague and supervisor @marcscully.bsky.social 👏

The UL campus is lovely, by the way

Currently recruiting for my research on second-generation identity in Ireland.

Please get in touch if you or someone you know might be interested in taking part in an interview to talk about 'home' and belonging.

Thanks @rtebrainstorm.bsky.social for publishing this piece on the findings of our recent @micireland.bsky.social research in collaboration with parents and colleagues in #Tusla #Clarecare and @hselive.bsky.social - so important parents know there is help out there
