Huge congratulations to our colleague DR Lilian Nwanze for passing her viva voce with flying colours.

Far-right rhetoric in Ireland has led to increasing challenges in education. Join us for an online event on June 27, where we reflect on the current climate and possibilities for building solidarity through education + research as bulwark against far-right racism and division.

The online audience was left speechless with Lilian Akobo(Nwanze)'s powerful testimony, of working in education in #Ireland, and how far-right ideologies have infiltrated education spaces: a student even brazenly told her to leave thr country if she couldn't put up with the racism!

“I call the micro-aggressions as macro, since they accumulate over time” “When I'm excluded from mails, it has an impact as long-lasting as far-right comments online” Lilian Akobo(Nwanze) shared how students sharing images of ‘wild Africa’ have internalised images perpetrated by far-right

This was a wholesome conversation; we're so glad the audience stayed in longer than the webinar time, to share their experiences from across #Ireland and beyond. We hope #academia can reflect on what Lilian Akobo(Nwanze) said: “Think of concrete steps in your own sphere of influence.”

Thanks to everyone who tuned in. We will share the recording shortly, for those of you who missed it. Big round of applause to Suzanne Kyle 🍉 + Lilian Akobo(Nwanze) for giving us their time & presenting their powerful work, and to Priyanka Borpujari💙🇵🇸☘️ for moderating this sensitive topic. Onward ☘️

So honored for the opportunity to moderate this important Women in Research IE conversation on implications of far-right rhetoric on education + academia in #Ireland You cannot miss the work of Suzanne Kyle 🍉 + Lilian Akobo(Nwanze) in this realm, IF you work in education, and ESPECIALLY if you don't
