“Activists, Artists and Academics” with Katherine O’Donnell

from Queer Lit · host Lena Mattheis

In this special treat of a minisode, you will get to meet one of the amazing architects of Lesbian Lives: Prof Katherine O’Donnell (University College Dublin), who is herself an activist, artist and academic. Katherine tells me about her research, the rich queer history of Cork, about colonialism and queerness in Ireland, and she reveals Fiona Shaw’s real name… If you’re as intrigued by Katherine’s many interests and talents as I am, go and follow @Ka_ODonnel on Twitter and also click on @Lena_Mattheis while you’re there.

Texts and people mentioned: Slant (New Island Press) Edmund Burke LINC @linc_Ireland (Instagram) @LINCwomen (Twitter) Fiona Shaw Graham Norton Irish Queer Archive @irishqueerarchive (Instagram and Facebook) Tonie Walsh Maggie Nelson’s The Argonauts Questions I am reflecting on after listening: 1. How do activism and research intersect? Can they even be seperated? 2. What makes the queer research community distinct? 3. How can I steal that painting of Fiona Shaw? 4. Which local queer archives can I explore in the future – physical or digital?
