I eagerly anticipated Wendy Brown’s keynote presentation in Belfast at the 15th annual Women’s Studies Network (UK) Conference in September 2002.1 Although I did not expect her to address the Irish–British conflict, I hoped that her insights into the impossibilities of extracting race from gender, or gender from sexuality, or masculinity from colonialism (Brown, 1997) might enable us – different local and visiting feminists – to come to grips with conversations about these matters (as they pertain to feminisms in conflict, sectarianism, class, race and so on). We have needed these conversations, locally, for a long time. However, I was frustrated and disappointed and, perhaps worse, I felt an opportunity was missed. On hearing the keynote I changed my presentation for the following day’s panel on ‘Irish Identities’. Instead of a paper on women’s identifications, community activism and the British government’s ‘conflict management’ approaches in the north of Ireland (Rooney, 2002), I continued some of the critical conversations provoked by the keynote.
