TLRH | Education, Class and (In)Equality in Dublin

Recorded November 19, 2020. A panel discussion as part of the
'Trinity and the Changing City' Series in association with Trinity
Long Room Hub. A follow-up to our social class panel in last year’s
series: this panel will ask a focused question: how do we fix
inequality in education in our city? Most fee-paying schools
cluster in the Dublin commuter belt, and some of the most
disadvantaged schools in the country can be found here too. Dublin
is a microcosm for a wider problem in Ireland, and in education
systems elsewhere. Speakers include: Joe Humphreys (Journalist, The
Irish Times), Dr Delma Byrne (Maynooth University) and Professor
Jan Skopek (Department of Sociology, Trinity), the evening will be
chaired by Dr Ciaran O'Neill, Deputy Director of the Trinity Long
Room Hub. Trinity and the Changing City is organised by the
Identities in Transformation research theme, led by Daniel Faas,
Department of Sociology, and is supported by the Trinity Long Room
Hub Arts and Humanities Research Institute. Find out more here
