In celebration of International Women’s Day 2024, Carlow College hosted an exhibition entitled Elizabeth Corbet Yeats and the Cuala Press. The exhibition has been collated by the Delany Archive.
To launch the exhibition, the College hosted two talks on Tuesday, 5th March which reflected the content and themes of the exhibition:
- Dr James Heaney spoke about The Cuala Press, W.B. Yeats, and the Irish Revival
- Dr Elizabeth Dawson spoke about St Brigit: from the medieval to the modern.
International Women’s Day celebrates the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. Celebrated globally on 8th March each year, this day is a great opportunity for everyone to come together to celebrate women’s achievements and raise awareness about women’s equality.
Co-Chairs of the Athena SWAN SAT team in the College, Fiona McGuill and Michael Sherman said: “The College is delighted to host events to celebrate International Women’s Day. This day affords us the opportunity to promote a culture that is equitable and inclusive for women and to celebrate the achievements of all women, locally, nationally and internationally. As an institute of higher education it is imperative that every opportunity is utilised to promote a world free of bias and discrimination”.
New Podcast episode: Celebrating Sisterhood
In addition to the exhibition, International Women’s Day was marked with a special podcast episode on the College’s podcast, Would I Be Right in Saying That?, titled “Celebrating Sisterhood”.
