Piece I wrote tracing the historical context of last month’s riots in Ballymena and elsewhere in NI. We have a long history of immigration in NI and also, sadly, a long history of racism. www.qub.ac.uk/Research/Our...

Again we urgently call on ALL MLAs to go to their communities under threat at locations where far-right actions are being announced. With confirmed paramilitary involvement, they must be on the ground tonight as observers or in solidarity. enddeportationsbelfast.wordpress.com/2025/06/11/u...

If women rioted every time one of us was attacked Northern Ireland would lie in ashes.

We must first acknowledge the girl whose violation sparked the chain of events. We stand in solidarity with her and with her family now and always. Instead, ostensibly because of the ethnic background of the boys accused of carrying out this attack, the vigil was hijacked by people intent on harm.

Come along to our PG conference on 7th May - in the Blue Sky room at the QUB SU - it's free and open to the public. Looking forward to hearing from our panellists, the roundtable discussion, a workshop from Dr Kayla Rush and a keynote from Dr Ana Ivasiuc. www.eventbrite.com/e/qub-anthro...

It is good to tell our stories. For this museum to be most educationally useful, it must go beyond tales of derring-do and also address the huge role Irish soldiers played in the brutal and racist colonial expansion and exploitation of the British Empire. www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/educati...

A thread worth considering in light of some of our politicans deciding now is the time to boycott the White House St Patrick's Day party over Palestine. Why now and not before? How "principled" can the stance be if explusions under Biden weren't enough, but under Trump they are...

Now, how about we apply this revolutionary concept to the rest of Northern Ireland? Or is that too much to ask? 🌍💚 #PublicTransportMatters #GreenPartyNI #SustainableTravel 2/2
