For International Womens Day on 8 March 2025, we hosted Professor Phil Scraton in conversation with Bernadette McAliskey.

A life-long campaigner for social justice and human rights, Bernadette McAliskey continues to work internationally as a socialist republican and feminist. This conversation focused on her lifelong commitment to socialist-feminism within a society divided by sectarian conflict and economic marginalisation.

Professor Phil Scraton is Emeritus Professor in the School of Law at Queen’s University, Belfast.

The film below was created for the event.
