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.
Looking forward to this seminar on Michael Davitt with @dalykeeks.bsky.social at EPIC next Wednesday. Free and open to all! Register here: www.eventbrite.ie/e/rebel-with...
