    So thrilled to receive this prize! Researched and written across 10 years, 2 cities, 3 jobs and a baby. Aided by friends and colleagues, of course, and #Irishwmnhist scholars who paved the way. Thank you so much @NUIMerrionSq! #NUIAwards21 @QUBelfast

    I will be on strike for the next 3 days because I care enough about my students and my colleagues to stand outside the university gates in the freezing cold (again) @ucuatqub #OneOfUsAllOfUs @QUB_History #UCUstrike
