#11- Anti-Racism, Anti-Bias Training in the Irish Context ft. Briana Fitzsimons

In this video I speak with a colleague of mine on the Black and Irish team, Briana Fitzsimons. We talk about the anti-racism training Briana has designed especially for teachers, and the project she is currently involved in that aims to diversify the Irish education curricula. I hold strong reservations against some of the anti-racism trainings that I’ve seen be promoted abroad- particularly those based on the Robin DiAngeloite model- as I believe they tend to be superficial and can abet the issue they aim to address. However, Briana’s training is a refreshing break from such models and represents a great attempt at getting to the bottom of racism. I hope you enjoy learning about it via the video!
