Letter of Support from Trinity College Dublin.
”This project represents an essential contribution to contemporary discussions surrounding colonialism and its enduring impact, … As a professor of Irish Black Studies, Trinity College Dublin, I am compelled to strongly advocate for financial support of this project, given its potential to foreground crucial historical connections to modern issues of dehumanisation and exploitation, as well as shine a light on our more recent understanding of Ireland’s relationship to Empire, both as colonised and coloniser.” - Dr. P Mullen, Dept of Sociology.
