There have been calls from right-wing Zionist agitators to 'depoliticise' the Trinity College Dublin Students' Union 🌈🇵🇸. At the joint The Phil The Hist debate from February 2024, I spoke in favour of our radical, political and left-wing Trinity College Dublin Students' Union 🌈🇵🇸, which is representative of students. youtube.com/watch?v=L6lhsp…

昨天我有幸获得最古老的学生社团The Hist 颁发的金质奖章,以表彰对公共议题的杰出贡献。 这一荣誉真正属于过去35年来我有幸共事的人权捍卫者们,它也代表了国际社会对中国人权问题的关注。

Bram Stoker, Standish O’Grady, Isaac Butt, Douglas Hyde…now the portrait of Professor David McConnell joins them on the walls of The Hist. It felt historic to be in Trinity College Dublin last night for the unveiling by Mick O'Dea of his new painting. #TheHist TCD Genetics & Microbiology
