Clúdach PhD Stiofáin Uí Bhriain

An-áthas orm a rá gur éirigh liom sa Viva Voce inniu agus go mbeidh an PhD á bhronnadh orm. Aistear fada blianta a bhí dúshlánach go maith ach thug scéalta Uí Chadhain féin spreagadh dom.

Mo bhuíochas le gach duine a chuidigh liom, mion is mór, feadh na slí. Bhí go maith is ní raibh go holc.

Have said this before in other forms, but will reiterate it here: if you're doing long-form writing of any sort, reading the words aloud into a microphone is a completely unparalleled cheat code. It's free, easy, and so effective it feels like it shouldn't be allowed. I do it in a few stages...

The graphic shows that attitudes to Heather Humphreys' candidacy became distinctly more negative as the campaign went on. 57% of respondents said Humphreys engaged in negative campaigning, while only 16% said the same of Connolly.

Having a browse of the Electoral Commission's post-#aras25 voter study. These jump out for me – and suggest it's not so much the case that Catherine Connolly won, but rather than the conduct of Heather Humphreys' campaign actively lost the race:

University of Galway plans to end and replace arts course amid fall-off in interest ‘Urgent’ reform aims to meet changing needs of students as they seek ‘direct routes to employment’

Genuinely shocked to read about proposals at Galway (an amazing university with world-class humanities departments) to axe the broad-based arts degree. Really grim reading. www.irishtimes.com/ireland/educ...

A week ago, we had an open conversation amongst senior academics in leadership roles and their use of LLMs (in both their leadership capacities and individually). Small group, not representative, but it already taught me a great deal about the diversity of perspectives (& their consequences). 1/

Liam Ó Flannagáin ó Charn Tóchair ag tabhairt 'tacaíocht iomlán' don rún.

"Níor chaith duine ar bith a labhair in éadan an rúin lá faoi ainrial réimeas Rí Shasana" a deir sé.

"An mbeadh sé níos fearr dúinne, don Ghaeltacht agus don Ghaeilge in Éirinn Aontaithe? Sin an cheist." #afcnag26

The Celts Meet Celtic Fantasy What would it look like for dominant-language fantasy to engage with the living cultures, contemporary politics, and modern histories of Celtic-language communities?

"What would a Celtic fantasy that engages with the “Celts” as real people in real places, rather than as common aesthetic property—a mystical veneer that anyone can apply to their writing—look like?" strangehorizons.com/wordpress/no... by @coimeas.bsky.social
