    Making Unseen Theatre

    Earlier this year, Graham McLaren and Neil Murray, Directors of Dublin’s Abbey Theatre at the time, invited me to curate a series of audio plays. Like theatres everywhere in the past year, the Abbey was searching for new ways of making theatre in a world without live audiences, and Graham had become fascinated with the […]

    Abducting their own children

    Media reports regularly note the despair and distress caused to a parent when their erstwhile partner absconds with the children of their prior relationship. Law enforcement agencies are routinely involved to compel the return of these children, abducted by one of their own parents, as are the courts when either issuing orders relating to the […]

    The White Australia Policy

    In the past, anti-immigration sentiment was often enshrined in government policy as a form of institutional racism. In the late nineteenth century, concern was growing in the Australian colonies about the level of “non-white” immigration to Australia. A political slogan at the time was “White Australia: Australia for the Australians.” When the colonies united in […]

    Synchronized ion plasmon waves is a new view on neuron signaling

    Though the book “Quantum Nano-Plasmonics” concerns a random-phase approximation model of plasmons in metallic nanoparticles, it finds unexpected application to soft plasmonics in bio matter. A wave type plasmon-polariton mechanism of the so-called saltatory conduction in myelinated axons is proposed.

    Expressing identities: what the UEFA rainbow quarrel tells us about the protection of gay lives

    One of the many controversies surrounding the Euro football championship was sparked by Uefa’s decision to quash the plans of the city of Munich to illuminate its Allianz Arena in rainbow colours in support of LGBTQ+ rights for Germany’s Euro 2020 match against Hungary. Uefa rejected the action due to the “political context” of the […]

    The Misreading of Mid-Century Turkey

    How complicit is the field of Middle East studies in helping Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan consolidate his authoritarian rule? It’s a completely unfair question, of course. But, having lobbed similar accusations at a previous generation of scholars, we should perhaps give it some thought. Over the past several decades there has been a proliferation […]

    The Right to Life of Planet Earth?

    In recent years, there has been increasing movement towards envisaging the right to life not only in terms of human beings, but in terms of other mammals. In Argentina, in 2014, a Federal Chamber of Criminal Appeals ruled that animals hold fundamental rights, finding it ‘necessary’ to recognise a specific orangutan in a zoo as […]

    Reducing the Complexity of Financial Services Regulation

    It used to be relatively easy to regulate financial services. This was because the range of entities providing financial services was relatively narrow, as was the range of financial services provided to the market. Financial and technological innovation over the past two decades, however, has radically changed both the entities involved in delivering financial services […]
