*Winner of the James S. Donnelly, Sr. Prize 2022* In Ireland, 2018,
a constitutional ban that equated the life of a woman to the life
of a fertilised embryo was overturned and abortion was finally
legalised. This victory for the Irish Repeal movement set the
country alight with euphoria. But, for some, the celebrations were
short-lived - the new legislation turned out to be one of the most
conservative in Europe. People still travel overseas for abortions
and services are not yet fully commissioned in Northern Ireland.
This book traces the history of the origins of the Eighth
Amendment, which was drawn up in fear of a tide of liberal reforms
across Europe. It draws out the lessons learned from the
groundbreaking campaign in 2018, which was the culmination of a
35-year-long reproductive rights movement and an inspiring example
of modern grassroots activism. It tells the story of the 'Repeal'
campaign through the lens of the activists who are still fighting
in a movement that is only just beginning.
This book explores community education in Ireland and argues that
neoliberalism has had a profound effect on community education.
Rather than retain its foundational characteristics of collective,
equality-led principles and practices, community education has lost
much of its independence and has been reshaped into spaces
characterised by labour-market activation, vocationalisation and
marketisation. These changes have often, though not always, run
contrary to the wishes of those involved in community education
creating enormous tensions for practitioners, course providers and
participants.
