Thanks @debbieging and @AnastasiaVeneti for being wonderful examiners and thanks Neil O'Boyle for chairing.

Proud supervisor moment as @bonritu Rituparna Banerjee flew through her Viva Voce exam today with no revisions recommended. Rituparna investigated the visual practices of women politicians in West Bengal on social media. @DCU_SoC, @DCU_Research.

Thanks @Researchirel for the New Foundations grant. @SalimSaay @UL and me @DCU_Research are collaborating on the DiSSENT project and held an expert panel @mict_intl in Berlin in March to discuss digital security for journalists working in exile. Watch this space for more soon.

Wrote today on that other thing I spend most of my waking hours thinking about: food. To be precise, the politics of food.

Absolute honour to engage in a Q&A session with Dr. Shahidul Alam to kick off the 10th Safety of Journalists Conference in Oslo Metropolitan University this morning. Dr Alam's asks what is it that those of us with more freedom are doing for those who do not have that privilege.

@soomins @LindsayPalmerUW @DCU_Research, @DCU_SoC.
