Sinéad Kennedy: Repeal the Eighth
A conversation with Sinéad Kennedy about the history of Irish feminism, the campaign to repeal the eighth amendment from the Irish constitution, and the distinct ways in which the politics of liberation in Ireland have been inflected by Ireland's unique position within the world system.
This episode was inspired to a large extent by Dr Camilla FitzSimons' book Repealed: Ireland's Unfinished Fight for Reproductive Rights, which is available here from Pluto Press.
An episode of Pluto Press' Radicals in Conversation consisting of a conversation between Camilla, Sinéad and Ruth Coppinger about the campaign is available here.
Sinéad Kennedy is a senior university tutor in Maynooth University's Department of English. She has written and published widely on struggles for reproductive rights, Marxism, political theory and Irish literature. In 2013 she founded the Coalition to Repeal the Eighth Amendment with feminist activist and lecturer Ailbhe Smyth.
