@P_Gooding @NUIGCDLP @RosemaryKayess @eilionoirflynn Great picture. Great summer school. Great people! I hope we all get to sing folk songs together again soon :)

My 1st time at the Disability Summer School at @NUIGCDLP, I met @annaarstein @RosemaryKayess @eilionoirflynn & many other incredible thinkers, activists & scholars. It honestly changed the direction of my life. Here's a pic from one of the warmest days in Irish history. #10thdss

Happy to be at the first conference of the VOICES Project! @ercvoices twitter.com/sarahlennon08/…
