Following the very successful Launch of the Feminist Walk Cork website at last year’s Spirit of Mother Jones Festival, we are delighted to announce the return of Maggie O’Neill to the festival for 2023.

The feminist walk of Cork (the first in a series of feminist walks created with community partners, staff and students at UCC)  celebrates the contribution of women to art, culture, society and the city. Along the route we will explore the role of women in addressing sexual and social inequalities, and building fairer, safer communities. 

Following the legacy of Mother Jones, the walk writes women into the spaces and topography of the city and is facilitated by Maggie O’Neill and Conach Gibson-Feinblum.

Meet at 4.30 at the Maldron Hotel, Shandon on Saturday 29th July.  

Maggie O’Neill  is Professor in Sociology & Criminology at University College Cork, she has a long history of working with communities to create change, using arts based and participatory research methods. Maggie loves walking, walking as a way of doing research and as a teaching and learning method. She leads a walking module at UCC and is a member of the Walking Artists Network. Maggie has co-created a number of pedagogic walks.

Conach Gibson-Feinblum is a graduate of Criminology (BA) and Anthropology (MA) at University College Cork.
