Pádraig Ó Tuama is joined by Katy Hayward. Katy is Professor of Political Sociology at Queen’s University Belfast, a Fellow of the Senator George J. Mitchell Institute for Global Peace, Security and Justice, and an Eisenhower Fellow.

Her latest books are the co-authored Northern Ireland a Generation After Good Friday (Manchester University Press, 2021) and the monograph What do we know and what should we do about… the Irish border? (Sage, 2021).

She has written and presented to media, policy, civic and academic audiences worldwide on the Irish border, Brexit, and the Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland.

Katy joins Pádraig to talk about borders, British-Irish and international relations, and some of the important trends she’s seeing in the political landscape.
