A talk by Colleen Murrell, Professor of Journalism at Dublin City University & author of a book on female reporters at the BBC.
Over the past century the role of women in work has changed beyond measure. Some of the most prominent female pioneers were engaged in the worlds of media and entertainment. The BBC began as a public broadcaster in 1922, a few years before Grace Kelly was born in Philadelphia. In those early decades it was hard for women to make their mark and have an enduring career in these fields.
In this talk, Colleen Murrell will discuss the findings of her latest book, ‘BBC Women Reporting the World: Conversations with Foreign Correspondents’, which profiles 10 well-known BBC reporters including Irish woman Orla Guerin.

Two iconic writers with different perspectives on two continents & the literary world
An evening exploring two remarkable voices from Irish-American literature, Mary Lavin and F. Scott Fitzgerald. Modern-day authors Gráinne Hurley (Gratefully and Affectionately: Mary Lavin and The New Yorker) and Patrick O’Sullivan Greene (Gatsby: Death of an Irishman) provide fascinating insights into their remarkable lives and literature, and some surprising connections between their chosen subjects.
In this year of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, this lecture turns to one of the most striking measures of what the Irish gave to their adopted country. More men born on the island of Ireland have received the Medal of Honor, America’s highest decoration for valour, than have been born in any other country on earth.
Drawing on his forthcoming book For Valour and Heritage: The Irish Story of America’s Medal of Honor, Patrick asks who these men were, how they came to be in uniform, and what became of them afterwards — in the police forces, fire houses and civic institutions of the great American cities.
