Happy #SiblingsDay 👫🎉 delighted to say that my first monograph will be out later this year. It’s on the website, so it must be real!!

@Linda__Connolly @TomHulme87 @academia @MaynoothUni @MU_Sociology Thanks for tagging us Tom! Yes, as Linda says, lots of well established work on diverse family forms by sociologists. In our issue, we're pushing these ideas back as far to the 18th century & forward to the more recent past to stimulate these conversations among historians too.

@TomHulme87 @academia @MaynoothUni @MU_Sociology @RIFNET_ Yes this point is long established. Thanks Tom. See also Paul Ryan and Roisin Ryan Flood’s excellent published work on LGBTQ+ relationships and families

“Investigating the ‘Irish’ Family” - I published this article and the edited collection “The Irish Family” in 2015. The transformation of Irish family life was already well underway despite what was in the Constitution - newspaper columns trying to ideologically reverse this with constitutional wording now are pointless. Social change is established #Referendum drb.ie/articles/inves…
