I gave a keynote to the excellent conference of the @irishhumanities.bsky.social yesterday. Got a bunch of things off my chest about healthcare in Irl, about privatisation, tech, the role of private equity, and the need for a critical sociological imagination in Irish medical humanities. Was good!

Wonderful to have two excellent and thought provoking keynote addresses at our annual conference.

I'm really looking forward to the @irishhumanities.bsky.social annual conference today and tomorrow. We're meeting at the site of the former Good Shepherd magdalene laundry in Waterford city, and beginning with an intervention from the Waterford Memories project.

Medical & health humanities scholars add your support by co-signing letter which has been submitted to the Wellcome Trust regarding Discovery Research Funding Eligibility Criteria forms.cloud.microsoft/pages/respon...

Our Chief Executive, Hetan Shah, argues in the Financial Times that now is the moment to embrace the humanities, not retreat from them. Read more: https://bit.ly/4vxfGMQ

We need humanities more than ever in the age of AI

Subjects like literature, languages and history are vital to a thoughtful and prosperous society

A few weeks ago, @wellcometrust.bsky.social announced that scholars in the republic of Ireland would no longer be eligible to lead bids to the flagship discovery research scheme. We think this decision is badly flawed, and are asking them to rethink: www.irishhumanities.ie/assets/PDFs/...
