    #16 - The Politics of Tupac Shakur ft. Dean Van Nguyen

    In this episode I’m joined by Dean Van Nguyen, the author of the recent book on the life and politics of rap megastar Tupac Amaru Shakur. With Dean, I discuss his motivations for creating the book, the political persons and initiatives that went into forming Tupac’s political ideology (including the Black Panther Party), the inspiration Tupac has provided to those engaged in revolutionary armed struggle, Tupac’s contradictions, his similarity with Irish Republican Revolutionaries, what he politically stood for and more! It’s a brilliant book, that I - as a Tupac mega fan who is quite disappointed in commercially inspired publications about the man (and as a political lefty) - couldn’t recommend more!

    #12- War in Ukraine exposing Western Hypocrisy in Humanitarianism? ft Sarah Said & Wakila Latidoye

    🇺🇦🇺🇦 Firstly, I would like to resolutely express absolute solidarity with the Ukranian people, and condemn Russia’s Illegal and immoral violation of the sovereignty of an independent State. I hope that peace, security, freedom, and justice soon reign in Ukraine and that Europe (and the rest of the world) continue to safeguard Ukranians in need of support🇺🇦🇺🇦 In this episode I’m joined by public policy professional, Sarah Said, and Commerce student, Wakila Latidoye, to discuss whether the war in Ukraine has exposed Western hypocrisy and double standards in humanitarianism. In the episode we talk about the discrepancy in the language used to describe those affected by the war in Ukraine as compared to wars elsewhere, the importance of Europe embodying its most cherished values consistently, the comments of the Deputy Prime Minister of Ireland to try and justify the difference in treatment of refugees based on geographic proximity, and lots more. I believe that it is fundamental that we here in Europe advocate for the application of our most cherished values indiscriminately, and that we jump at any opportunity to rectify our ways if we begin to stray away from these values- not least when this is done for tribalistic reasons. I really hope you enjoy the video and take something from it. Instagram: @eric.ehigie Twitter: @ericosa11

    #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!
