The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions is recruiting a legal research, knowledge management and training manager.

With my PhD submitted, viva imminent, and only a short time left in my current role. Anyone know of any vacancies coming up? Happy to consider academic roles, public sector, NGOs, or any other industry requiring a legal researcher. Ideally on the island of Ireland, or flexible/remote posts.

Terms like 'disadvantaged' reinforce stigma. Education that values merit based on privilege, rather than capability and effort, reflects the inequalities inherent in our society. People with power would do well to reflect on the broader impact of their decisions. www.irishtimes.com/ireland/educ...

Doing Feminist Legal Work have partnered up with the Law School at UL to have an event on Feminist Drafting: Legislation Activism & Reflection - more details in the link below #feminism #feministlegalstudies #DFLW dflw.ie/feminist-dra...

The sign of a tough day 🤷🏼‍♀️
