Geographers Research Women's Health Rights Activism
A research article has been published based on a collaboration between The Research Group of Dublin Bay North Repeal the Eighth and staff and students from Maynooth's Department of Geography. Geography undergraduates and postgraduates on the MA in Spatial Justice, worked with Professor Karen Till, Dr Lorna O'Hara, doctoral student Jack Callan, and Professor Gerry Kearns to collect interviews from activists involved with the campaign to Repeal the Eighth Amendment to the Irish Constitution and thereby remove the constitutional prohibition of abortion. Some findings of the research have now been published in an article — Kate Antosik-Parsons, Karen Till, Gerry Kearns, Jack Callan, and Niamh McDonald, ‘Leading change: Reproductive rights, empowerment and feminist solidarity in the Dublin Bay North Repeal the 8th campaign,' Feminist Encounters 6:1 (2022),
