We cannot truly be antiracist if we don’t have a grasp of Black History. Happy #BlackHistoryMonth2020 to all my friends. What can you do? 1) Learn one fact about the Africa continent everyday of October 2) Attend or organise a Black history event 3) Connect with Black people

Just to clarify, Jennifer Waters is an ACTUAL person of color and agrees that representation is important. However, to make ill informed claims after a first step in progress only serves to hinder it. We hope you enroll in the module and participate in its critical thinking.
Replying to @universitytimes
So instead of including any actual people of colour on your ridiculous list, 2 white girls nabbed 2nd place for, idk, standing up for basic human decency. Not one person on the list is non-white. Gross. Doesn’t really help Trinity’s exclusionary reputation.
We’ve met with @pjprendergast and Dr. Brooks of @TCDEquality and they fully support creating Ireland’s 2nd only Black Studies Module. The admin is now working to staff/run it. This is a win but only a first step. #BlackLivesMatter #EducationIsPower

I think it's an excellent idea to have a Trinity Elective on Black Studies and I thank the students who have made this petition - let's meet to see how we can progress it
“The fact that people are individually tasked with unlearning their racism and are educating themselves on white privilege is proof that our academic institutions have failed us,” the petition outlines. trinitynews.ie/2020/06/stude…

Three students from the first Black studies class will be talking about what they learnt & how it impacted them. It’s a massive coincidence but this lunchtime talk was planned for exactly the 12th of June since last year! There is no better time than this to hear this talk.
Join us for a free lunchtime webinar to discuss the first black studies module in Ireland. Friday 12 June. Reserve your place at: wiriblackstudies.eventbrite.… @EbunJoseph1 @ucddublin @tcddublin @TCDsociology @UcdAfricaSoc #blackstudies #blackstudiesmatters #BlackLivesMatter
