Students don’t need to go to university to use generative AI. They need critical thinking and analytical skills, the ability to understand complex ideas, to make connections and informed arguments, to cultivate creative thinking and develop original ideas. And yes it is hard work. The rest is SLOP
This Friday. Join us if you are in Belfast #Speirgorm

This Belfast Trans Pride weekend, we reiterate our absolute solidarity with Belfast’s trans, non-binary and intersex communties. Judith Butler nailed it..
‘If you sacrifice a minority like trans people, you are operating within a fascist logic’.

Out in @ifjpglobal.bsky.social our collective conversation “Base Women and Beyond”. A first step in our ongoing project for a contemporary feminist research agenda on military/nuclear installations and their discontents.

Cynthia Enloe said "here is what you miss if you ignore womens lives."
Each conversation and panel discussion was an insightful reminder as to why we must continue to advocate, educate and learn from both the women who came before us and the future generations of feminists.
