“There are as many identities in Northern Ireland as people‪”‬ United Zingdom

    • 個人日誌

Zing’s reached the end of her adventure around the UK and it’s time for her to make a decision: does she want to give up her Singaporean passport for a British one? Has touring the country and having frank and difficult conversations about national identity helped her decide whether she’s ready to trade in citizenship of the country she was raised in for the one she calls home now? Before she answers these questions, she’s got one final stop to make on her tour - Belfast. Unfortunately, with the country still locked down due to coronavirus, Zing can’t travel there in person. However, journalists Jordan Dunbar and Ciarán Logue are ready to give her a virtual tour of the city, an introduction to its nightlife and slang, and some fascinating insights into British, Irish and Northern Irish identity. Ciarán teaches journalism at Queen’s University Belfast and he’s asked some students there to share their thoughts on what national identity means to them.
