Editorial 1 – Gender
FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK Emer Walsh editor@motley.ie While initially filled with excitement at the prospect of returning to campus, I found it hard to plan for college this year. In an era governed by constant uncertainty, I had little idea of what to expect. But I’m surprised, and pleasantly so. I’m hesitant to term this […]
Editorial #7: Protecting Our Student Media Ecosystem Requires Collaboration
by Matthew Moynihan There is, I must admit, a ludicrous level of irony in the writing of this month’s editorial. By publishing the last editorial of my tenure as Editor-in-Chief of Motley, I am making myself, albeit temporarily, unemployed. A perfect starting point for an issue themed on “The Future of Work”.

Tá sí anseo
Oonagh Ní Mhuirí: Príomheagrathóir A chairde Gaeil, Faoi dheireadh thiar thall táim ar muin na muice an t-iris seo a roinnt libh! Ba mhaith liom aird a tharraingt ar an obair den chéad scoth a bhí curtha isteach ag mo chomhghleactha Niamh agus Emer sa tionscnamh seo – cinnte ní bheadh an t-iris seo curtha […]
Editorial: Sexual Revolution 2.0
Undoubtedly we are living through a second-wave sexual revolution. A revolution of thought, of action and of feeling. In recent years the #MeToo movement has dethroned the powerful and shattered the halls of silence that allowed predators to sadistically wield their arsenal of perversity unchallenged. Silence is both a symptom and an agonist of the […]
