This is important reading for people wishing to improve representation in literature in this country, written by researchers who work hard on their own time to make things better. It deserves to be taken very seriously, as do the writers whose erasure is revealed by this work.
MEAS was gravely concerned by the response by @IrishTimes, in print and via correspondence, to our latest report, 'Irish Times Poetry Reviews 2008-2013'. We have compiled a thorough reply defending MEAS, detailing why issues of equality, diversity and representation should... 1/3

Thanks to @MEASorg for the invitation to take part in today’s seminar on equality in the Irish arts sector. A lot of powerful perspectives shared on what’s at stake if we don’t work together to amplify voices that have historically been silenced and sidelined in Irish poetry.
After an invigorating day of presentations, conversations and performances, we’re ready(☕️)for Day Two of @MEASorg @EnglishUCC. Today’s speakers include: @artscouncil_ie @poetryireland @BethMohen @ADIarts @lcollins232 @soft_moth @not4ucollective @bansheelit @KathyDArcyCork

On the train home after 2 days of fruitful discussion and learning. Well done to @McDaid_Ailbhe and Ken Keating. @MEASorg is a valuable initiative, and will hopefully become a convergence point for quantitative research in the arts #meas #wakingthefeminists #gendercounts
Day One was full of lively conversations with presentations from @STFeminists @WTFeminists @ArtMothership @FiredIrishPoets @bdonohu @lauracwatson @ClionaUCC, and today promises to be just as brilliant! Fáilte roimh chách #genderinirisharts #meas2019

Many living women poets/artists continue to be ignored by Arts Council who make active choices to continue supporting empires & old boys networks, rather than dynamic alternatives. You don’t have to be dead to be ignored or forgotten. @josephamadigan @DoireannNiG @publishingwomen

Important work from @MEASorg: "The overall picture for poetry publishing in Ireland in relation to gender from 2008-2017 is not a very positive one, and the role state funding plays in the perpetuation of this situation must be noted."
Journal Launch: MEAS: A Journal of Annual Reports. Having received an ISSN from the National Library of Ireland, this journal will facilitate the permanent accessibility of crucial research on equality in the arts sector and will be archived in libraries. measorg.com/meas-journal/

A really enjoyable and energising evening of readings and reflections on Irish Women Writers, past, present and future - comhghairdeas mór! Great to hear @MEASorg @EnglishUCC referenced by @ClionaUCC - still much to be done in terms of equal representation in Irish publishing.
This is going to be brilliant! "Irish Women Writers: Looking Back and Looking Forward" eventbrite.ie/e/irish-women-… @EventbriteIE
