New York journalist and critic Cahir O’Doherty, who grew up in County Donegal in the 1970s and 1980s, reflects on how being part of an in-group (Irish) and an out-group (LGBTQ) in journalism can provide a useful insider/outsider perspective on both Ireland and Irish America and on the social and political issues that define them.

Supported and facilitated by Léann na Cumarsáide, the Discipline of Media, and the Office of the Vice-President for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion.
