Really enjoyed speaking at the Taste of @dublincityuni.bsky.social event about my @researchireland.ie -funded study of the Catholic Standard newspaper, looking at the 'social evil' of dance halls. Great Q&A session with a super audience which included people who met their partner at a dance hall!

Breaking news! Thanks Shamim!
