The online audience was left speechless with @NGOZILEE'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” @NGOZILEE 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 @NGOZILEE said: “Think of concrete steps in your own sphere of influence.”

So honored for the opportunity to moderate this important @WomenInResIE conversation on implications of far-right rhetoric on education + academia in #Ireland You cannot miss the work of @Sue_Kyle01 + @NGOZILEE in this realm, IF you work in education, and ESPECIALLY if you don't
Replying to @WomenInResIE
“Policies that sound nice don't protect us from constant disrespect in #academia in #Ireland. I'm constantly rendered invisible even when I'm here wearing bright colors.” That many in the audience resonated w/ @NGOZILEE is testament to how this conversation is needed more often.

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.

#EPALEIrelandNationalDay has officially kicked off! We've opened with a really interesting discussion between @NGOZILEE & @Camilla_Fitzs on just what makes #AdultEd so special and how practitioners can light 'little fires' 🤔
