If you have been checking out this page, you might have seen I have not posted an update in quite a while.
As with everything, life happens to create challenges for all of us, and I am certainly no different. I have had a few health scares (both my own and some family members) to focus on, and so I took a leave of absence from my studies.
However, as of July 2022, I am back studying, registered on the part-time register. Balancing work, study, some caring responsibilities and my my own mental and physical health is a tricky business, as any family carer can certainly tell you better than I can!
So, hopefully you should see some updates coming faster in the next little while.
I am currently working on the literature review for the project – hopefully I will soon post some of the most interesting papers and readings I have been working on reading and taking in. There’s quite a lot of them to get through, although relatively few (if any!) from an Irish perspective.
Until then, as always I’d love to connect with you if you are a queer/ LGBTQ+ carer, or an academic interested in the area. If you are none of those things and have an interest in the intersection of sexuality and care, don’t shy away either!
