How do feminist movements develop and organise in ethno-nationally divided societies? How does this challenge our understandings of contemporary fourth wave feminism? Women’s Troubles: Gender and Feminist Politics in Post-Agreement Northern Ireland (Manchester University Press, 2025) by Dr. Claire Pierson sets out to answer these questions using rich empirical data and analysis in an examination of feminist activism after the Northern Irish peace agreement.

Dr Claire Pierson (University of Liverpool) will be in conversation with Dr Emma Campbell (UU) and Mhairi Claire Lynch (QUB), sharing reflections about her book.

Chaired by Dr Maria-Adriana Deiana, Centre for Gender in Politics
