Congratulations to Lesley Bond, an alumni of the Public History and Cultural Heritage M.Phil, who has published a new book with Gill Books. `Blasket Bound: memoirs of an island caretaker` is based on Lesley`s time as caretaker on the Blasket Islands in 2019. Lesley completed her M.Phil programme with us in 2017, during which time she researched and completed a dissertation on the intangible cultural heritage of the Blasket Islands. This enabled her to pursue the experience of becoming caretaker, along with her partner Gordon, on the islands in 2019. Out of these experiences emerges her first book.
