The Coordinators
The Irish Feminist Network is coordinated by five volunteers based in Dublin. If you are interested in getting involved please see our Volunteer page.
Alison Spillane works as a political researcher in the Oireachtas. She writes occasionally for the Irish current affairs website Politico.ie and is involved with the CrisisJam project hosted there. As a co-ordinator with the IFN she hopes to develop the campaigning arm of the organisation, particularly around issues such as reproductive rights and political under-representation. She also contributes to policy development and media/communications work.
Clara Fischer holds a Ph.D. in feminist theory and political philosophy from Trinity College Dublin. Besides lecturing and researching in academia, she has also worked as a gender specialist in the NGO sector, with a particular focus on gender and development. She is a musician, and loves singing nearly as much as she loves her tabby cat. As a coordinator of the Irish Feminist Network, she is primarily concerned with policy development, research and advocacy work.
Emma Regan has always been a feminist but has done very little about it until now. While studying English and Maths at Trinity College Dublin, she enjoyed debating women’s issues in her beloved Phil. Then she taught English in Japan for a year. She is excited to work with the IFN to promote debate about feminism on a societal level, particularly in the areas of language, the arts and involving young people.
Erin Gell is currently working towards an M.Phil in European Studies at Trinity College Dublin. Originally from the United States, Erin studied journalism at the University of Florida and worked as a writer and reporter in New York City before relocating to Dublin in 2010. She is looking forward to working with the IFN to help change the stigma around feminism and hopes to become involved with women's issues in areas including the media, advertising, the arts, and sport.
Jessica Connor has always been involved in activism and feels passionately about feminism and issues of inequality around the world and in Ireland. Jessica became involved in the IFN after becoming overwhelmingly frustrated with the state of affairs in Ireland and decided to challenge the status quo. Jessica's main areas of responsibility with the IFN, though not limited to, are maintenance of the site, our online presence, and involvement with event coordination and activism.
