Event description About this Event
The year 2020 saw the re-emergence of the political movement Black Lives Matter (BLM). This arose after the killing of George Floyd that sparked worldwide outrage and protest. Ireland was not exempt from this phenomenon sweeping the globe. BLM within the Irish context occupied differently as it moved beyond looking at the issue of racism as just a Black and White issue. BLM paved the way for all minority voices to share their lived experiences with racism within an Irish context.
This is a roundtable discussion of the concept of race and the terminologies surrounding individuals of different ethnic backgrounds who all share the same commonality of developing new terminologies when looking at the issue of race within an Irish context.
