We're biased, but our vote would go to Mary #Wollstonecraft, foremother of #feminism and fearless defender of human rights. She was truly ahead of her time. #VindicationForMary Great line-up, @ihr_history - we'll be there! #RememberHer twitter.com/ihr_history/st…

Reminder! @emiliepine will speak on 'Pregnant with meaning: Performing maternity on the Irish stage'. 26 April, Senate House, Senate Room, 6-8pm. All welcome! #irishstudies facebook.com/events/8328200…

5 - The Home Office says the Windrush records were destroyed 'under the Data Protection Act', because departments are not supposed to keep records containing personal data for longer than that data is necessary. But this is nonsense.

1 - Thread on the Home Office destroying the #Windrush landing cards. Here's how the system should work. Under the Public Records Act, govmt departments must transfer archive records to @UkNatArchives within 30 (now 20) years.

A War Powers Act would enshrine in law that the government must seek parliamentary approval before deploying British troops in combat. The British Prime Minister must be accountable to Parliament, not to the whims of the US President or any other government.

YOU 👏 WERE👏 IN 👏 THE 👏 GOVERNMENT 👏 THAT 👏 DID 👏 THIS 👏 AND 👏 VOTED 👏 FOR 👏 ALL 👏 THE 👏 LEGISLATION 👏 THAT 👏 ENABLED 👏 IT 👏 twitter.com/LibDems/status…

Shame on you @ukhomeoffice. This is heart-breaking. twitter.com/bbcnewsnight/s…

Once again, as the government attempts to pass the Windrush outrage off asan administrative error, it does bear repeating: "This was not a glitch in the system. It is the system." bit.ly/2JIoOZy

Is the @MuseumofLondon fatberg a metaphor for Brexit? I wrote an article for the @IrishTimes 💩💩 irishtimes.com/culture/art-an…

Just finished my paper for the #LeaderImage panel at the #ForArtHistory2018 conference taking place at @CourtauldStudy and @KingsCollegeLon next month. My talk is titled: ‘Gendering the 2017 UK General Election: Theresa May, Jeremy Corbyn, and Digital Culture’.

No liberation without trans liberation. It’s that simple 💪🏾

Are Art's degrees past their sell-by date? No, say many employers, as arts graduates have vital 21st century skills. Read this weekend's Irish Times article, featuring Assoc. Prof. Fionnuala Dillane, here: irishtimes.com/news/education…
