“Katriona O'Sullivan is a professor of psychology, bestselling author of Poor and Hungry and one of Ireland's leading voices on inequality, education and social justice — she has spoken at the UN, Westminster and the European Parliament, blending research, lived experience and humour to challenge how we think about class, trauma and belonging. She's joined by Tanya Sweeney, who began writing for her local West Dublin paper at eleven and has spent twenty years as a columnist across the Irish Times, STELLAR, Irish Tatler and the Irish Independent; her debut novel Esther Is Now Following You was published in January. Part of Jan Brierton's Wild Words.”
