New #SchoolTasking article in the Journal of Further & Higher Education is now available open access. It discusses why early intervention is so important in outreach (at a time when many universities are moving in the opposite direction) & why gameful design has been key to the project's success.

"Lawiness acts as a justification. It enables... economists to put forth controversial schemes as though they are well-reasoned... ideas about law& government... they oversimplify legality... mixing technical and common languages... with empirical claims." criticallegalthinking.com/2025/04/24/t...

„Most had died from gunshot wounds, including what Dhair said was evidence of "explosive bullets", (..) which explode in the body upon impact, ripping apart flesh and bone. (..) In one case, the bullet head had exploded in the chest, and the rest of the bullet fragments were found within the body.“

Ironically it is long established in statutory interpretation that the word ‘man’ can mean man or woman, without offending against legal certainty.

Last night i spoke of the afterlives of Irish revolutionary women in the Free State-a state which defined a narrow model of what it meant to be an Irish woman. Anyone who did not live up to that model was surveilled, shamed and/or institutionalised! Narrow definitions of womanhood harm all women.

Locking down your phone, being mindful of what you're wearing, and coming up with plans to communicate with others are all key steps to take before attending a protest.

So much anti-trans litigation is not about the legal outcome. The litigation instead is a political strategy designed to foster a public atmosphere of hostility and anxiety for trans people and frame trans rights as an abstract debate. We must keep resisting this institutionalisation of transphobia.

Just for comparison, you would be about the same as very light rail system for Galway! One system speeds car/lorry traffic to a port, the other takes 40% of traffic out of the country's most congested city.... hmmm. www.thejournal.ie/m28-cork-rin...

It’s worth remembering that protests can have many different effects - morale is a reflexive effect which is very important. But if a movement wants to go beyond registering a symbolic dissent, it needs to begin to challenge things materially.

So if tariffs hit Irish exports of butter &reduce the price of diary, making some herds more marginal… is that the market telling Ireland to cut the size of the national herd? And does that mean we can reduce methane emissions without people losing their shit?

A premium product brand that has to be shipped thousands of miles to get to its market and also is a major driver of Ireland’s climate emissions should be expensive.

Conservatives (& I include UK labour in that) always think increased police violence &prosecution will kill protest movements. But they often give them increased visibility & momentum www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

Very exciting, there is a new learned society in legal studies, the Legal Humanities Association. It's based in the UK but very explicitly international in focus. It aims to foster a community dedicated to cultural understandings of law. legalhumanities.com

Consider writing a key concept! One of my most cited pieces is a key concept for CLT (while proud of this, my other work is just not cited often 😅 regardless, it is good to do).

Im getting reports of mass detention outside the #Dáil in #dublin, where peaceful protestors were holding an overnight vigil for #Gaza. Early this morning Gardai massed in significant numbers and detained the people quietly sitting outside the main gates! @irishexaminer.bsky.social @news.rte.ie

On CLT we want to expand our key concepts page. If you have the time, we would love to see more concepts like this on securitisation, that has just gone up. They get a MASSIVE audience (often in the tens and sometimes hundreds of thousands): criticallegalthinking.com/2025/03/31/k...

One of the things which can really accelerate protest movements is the PROXIMITY of genuine symbols of the thing you are challenging. And the possibility of doing real economic damage. In this sense TESLA presents a particularly potent target! www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

"The availability of light rail and policies to support the Climate Action Plan would result in a 35.7% reduction in car journeys, with car mode share in the Galway Metropolitan Area decreasing from 60% in 2023 to 38% in 2043, the report said."

Turns out that greater police powers and new police technology is likely to be turned on dissidents and those who expressly disagree with those in power!
