Feminist Discourse in Irish Literature: Gender and Power in Louise O'Neill's Young Adult Fiction (Routledge, 2022) addresses the role of YA Irish literature in responding and contributing to some the most controversial and contemporary issues in today's modern society: gender, and conflicting views of power, sexism, and consent.  This volume provides an original, innovative, and necessary examination of how "rape culture" and the intersections between feminism and power have become increasingly relevant to Irish society in the years since Irish author Louise O'Neill's novels for young adults Only Ever Yours and Asking for It were published. In consideration of the socio-political context in Ireland and broader Western culture from which O'Neill's works were written, and taking into account a selection of Irish, American, Australian and British YA texts that address similar issues in different contexts, this text highlights the contradictions in O'Neill's works and illuminates their potential to function as a form of literary/social fundamentalism which often undermines, rather than promotes, equality.

Louise O´Connor – Nutritionist – Discussing vitamins and supplements for health and well being...with TRE's Selina MacKenzie

My guest this week was model and blogger, the lovely Louise O'Reilly, who is someone I've known for a really long time, since the very early days of my former career in magazines and since the early days of her career as a curve model. Louise has not only modelled in magazines like Cosmopolitan, but has had a plus size fashion blog called Style Me Curvy for as long as she's been modelling, which is where some of you might know her from. There, she helps women everywhere to embrace their individuality no matter what their size. And now, at 31-weeks pregnant, she continues to do so. But Louise's journey to pregnancy wasn't straightforward, and in fact she was given a less than 2% chance of ever conceiving, even with the help of IVF, which she didn't even look into in the end. Her miracle, spontaneous pregnancy was so unlikely to happen as she has polycystic ovarian syndrome, otherwise known as PCOS. She talks about her symptoms, how she was dismissed time and time again by doctors who didn't take those symptoms seriously, and how women are often overlooked by doctors based on their weight alone. Our discussion around women's health in general was fascinating, and anyone with Endometriosis, Adenomyosis or PCOS would likely identify with what Louise went through in getting a diagnosis. It's one of those episodes where I leave knowing so much more about a topic but also with great nuggets of advice such as, as Louise says: Always trust your gut when it comes to your health. Enjoy, and I'll be back soon with more. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Soon the annual Business to Arts Awards take place in which those companies large and small who make the biggest effort to support music, theatre and dance, and get public recognition for their donations and collaborations.

Joining Joe in studio was Louise O'Reilly is the Chief Executive of Business to Arts which organises the awards.

Louise O'Neill knows what it's like to hit burn out as a rural family. She was pregnant with her first child when her husband hit breaking point physically and mentally.

Amongst it all, Louise started her business Farm Life Fitness to support the health and wellbeing programs of farming families, and it's her work that saw her win the AgriFutures Rural Women's Award for Western Australia.

In de wetenschappelijke wereld spreekt men wel van de ‘de affaire Vavilov-Lysenko'. Het klinkt wat koeltjes, want de gevolgen van de ideologische tweestrijd tussen de twee Russische plantkundigen Vavilov en Lysenko strekte ver voorbij de academische wereld. Lysenko, een man die we nu een pseudo-wetenschapper of charlatan zouden noemen, trok aan het langste eind. Als direct gevolg van zijn waanzinnige ideeën zouden miljoenen Russen de hongerdood vinden, zo ook zijn tegenstander Vavilov. Een tragisch einde voor de briljante wetenschapper die zich volgens Louise O. Fresco zelfs met genieën als Darwin en Mendel kon meten. Landbouwwetenschapper Louise O. Fresco schreef een historische roman over Vavilov, De plantenjager uit Leningrad en is te gast.

Louise is from Manchester UK. She is 32 years old and married with 2 girls aged 3yrs and 9 months. Her first pregnancy was in 2017 with identical twins, with problems consistently from the 12 week scan around uneven growth and fluid. She sadly lost one baby in pregnancy at 27+4, then underwent an emergency section at 28+6 where the surviving baby was taken to NICU for a 9 week stay before coming home. Louise has an unconventional approach to grief. She has set up an Instagram and blog to process and heal from what happened. She wants other parents to know that you can still live a full and happy life after something like this. Louise is also really passionate about promoting good maternal mental health.

This week's programme was the second of a two-part reflection on vocations. Last week we chatted about the universal call to holiness to which we are all called. This week we reflected on the particular vocations through which we can live out this universal call to holiness: marriage, priesthood, religious life and consecrated virginity (the dedicated single life). In particular we had a chat about the different ways in which we can all help to create a culture of vocations where each person is encouraged to listen to and respond generously to God's voice.Creating a Culture of VocationsOur good friend of the programme Sr. Louise O'Rourke PDDM (you can follow Sr. Louise on Twitter HERE, friend her on Facebook HERE and read her blog Pilgrim Progress HERE) is doing great work in promoting a culture of vocations. You may remember reading a cross-post from Sr. Louise on whether it is too late to create a culture of vocations in Ireland today (HERE). The short answer is no! But it does require the concerted effort of each one of us.We looked at the different personal vocations that each person is called to: married and family life, priesthood, religious life and consecrated virginity (dedicated single life) and spoke briefly about how there is a vocations crisis, not so much in numbers, but in the culture that surrounds us. There seems to be a fear of commitment, not just to priesthood and religious life, but to married life and consecrated virginity too. As a society, we are almost afraid to commit to anything or anyone. As one person put it to us recently: 'we have lost the love for the long-haul.'So how do we go about creating a culture of vocations. Well its as easy as ABC... Okay maybe not 'easy,' but there are certainly many many ways we can all encourage vocations at home, in our communities and in our dioceses, especially in our families as Sr. Louise shares with us HERE. Do you pray for vocations from your own family, parish or diocese? Do you encourage those with particular God-given gifts and talents to consider married life or priesthood or religious life or consecrated virginity. The seeds we plant today will bear fruit tomorrow.  You can listen to our discussion on vocations excerpted from the programme HERE.
