My first book has been shortlisted for a British Psychological Society Book Award!

A reflection on writing academic books and a challenge to those who think academics should work/write for free.

I talk about my new book - what it's about and how the book project developed after a protest.

A reflection on some of the general advice given to academics and the benefits of completely ignoring it, like 'don't write a book'.

I discuss being Irish in Northern Ireland, England, and Canada - and the difference in reception and perception of 'Irishness'.
