I gave a keynote to the excellent conference of the @irishhumanities.bsky.social yesterday. Got a bunch of things off my chest about healthcare in Irl, about privatisation, tech, the role of private equity, and the need for a critical sociological imagination in Irish medical humanities. Was good!

A man speaking at a podium in a church inder a large stained glass window. A slide kas a newspaper saying: head of rotunda: I'm sorry, I did not mean private care was safer than public.

A slide giving the title of a talk: a sketch not a story, what can the medical humanities in Ireland achieve? There's a historical picture of the Pfizer plant in cork.

The inside of an empty church viewed from the podium. There are rows of empty chairs and a wooden organ in the background.
