That "we're" in the headline also tells you that in addition to the writing staff being made up entirely of members of this tiny elite, that is also exactly who they see as their audience.

Funny thing is competing in women's Irish dance is much, much harder than men's because there's just very few men doing it. If you were looking for a way to win unfairly the last thing you'd do is enter the women's competition.

Teaching at a small university and FINALLY have a chance to teach an Irish lit class. It's a grad class but they've never done Irish lit before and probably won't again. So it's kind of hard to pick what has to go in here. Late 19th-21stC. Can include movies. Advice welcome

Speaking as one of that huge chunk, and as someone who knows a little bit about the writers you mention here, I'm begging you to stop condescendingly explaining Irish literary history to Irish people because they don't like Martin mcdonaghs insulting portrayal of them.

Yeats, Joyce and Beckett spent most of their lives outside Ireland and in fact so did a huge chunk of Ireland's population in the last 170 years!

It really is that simple. Whats the point of a conference if not to meet people you share interests with? If the focus is on learning more, it'll improve your own work and maybe help you get where you want to get. But networking as an end in itself is so offputting and pointless

No the point is that he tells stories that perpetuate stereotypes of Irish people as violent simpletons. It's not a new argument about McDonough and it's not wrong either. The "Irish civil war for babies" element of the plot was particularly offensive.

A remarkable thing about this footage is how closely it echoes Dylan himself being booed and called Judas in stage in 1966, even her saying to make her mic louder echoes him telling his band to play "really fuckin loud" in defiance. How ignorant were this crowd?
The biggest impression Sinéad O’Connor made on me was her performance at the Bob Dylan tribute show a few days after she ripped up the pope’s pic on SNL. She doubled down on her criticism of the church even while being booed by all of Madison Square Garden - she was 26 & so brave

There are different forms of literary pleasure though. If you read a whodunnit and someone spoiled the ending that does ruin its main effect: suspense. Other books it might not be the ONLY pleasure to discover the end, but it is possibly ONE of them, that is taken by a spoiler.

I had a friend in UCD who went over to the US for the MLA once. His panel was scheduled in a hotel room (not a conference room in a hotel, a hotel room). Nobody was there except the panelists.
Hot take on conferences, about which no other view is seriously tenable: programming concurrent panels is a mistake. It exacerbates inequities and reduces exchange of ideas, lowering the overall conference quality.
