After 37 great years, I am handing in my badge as Professor of Cultural Sociology at UL today. It's been a privilege to teach, research and write on things that I am passionate about. I will miss teaching most of all. Thanks to my many students, colleagues and friends at UL.

We know your tricks, historical fiction: lure us in, devastate us politely, sneak in a history lesson while we’re defenceless, then leave us ruined, wiser & smiling.

@emilyecullen a poet in residence @UL collected her son from school after the exam. He said, ‘Mam, it went great. You won’t believe it, but the poem you wrote about me came up. The one about the chalk’. It was just a surreal moment, priceless really.”
