Dear @AVFCOfficial please for the love of God sell that Acorns away shirt, it's a thing of beauty. Even charge £5 more and donate it.... you know it makes sense #avfc
How is this guy such a class act? Stands up for 🇵🇸 at great personal cost, AND this sort of thing? One of our club legends for sure 👏👏👏 @elghazi1995 #avfc #FACup
Funny how this petition to rename Wayne Gretzky Drive that's doing the numbers has no complaints about "cost," "inconvenience," or "erasing history" associated with it. It's almost as if those "concerns" were maybe just something else? 🤔

Had an amazing last 2 days presenting my research and methods through my new tour of Toronto’s underground PATH system!
Thx 2 all participants, PopeCullen Projects 4 commissioning the tour for their Graduate Research-Creation Residency & to Transart Institute 4 their support!
Important rebuttal by @LanrickBennett to @MikePMoffatt incorrect sug that Sec 37 $$$ were used inappropriately to pay for naming Sankofa Square.
I got a series of questions yesterday regarding this article from advocates of all stripes. I thought it would be good to give some additional context to what was presented and why it matters to push back.

Especially since such a matter is settled and over and done with and decided. What possible good and whose interests could be served by this?
Thrilled that I'll be presenting my paper, "Monumental: Animating Oral History as Creative Memory Activism" @ the 9th Finnish Oral History Network Conference at @uniofjyvaskyla
Looking forward to visiting Finland & meeting new colleagues 🇫🇮

Reparative renaming in CA not just about removing offensive monikers. But also creating replacement names that give positive visibility to cultures of communities historically harmed by old names. Those communities need to be directly consulted in renaming politico.com/news/2024/11/15…

Honoured to be included in this year’s amazing cohort of Dobbin Legacy Scholars and looking forward to travelling to Ireland in 2025.
Thank you so much to @ICUF_Awards @HumanitiesUCD and @UCD_Canada for believing in my research - and to @jjgarsha for the support & encouragement
It was our great pleasure, in partnership with @UCD_Canada & @HumanitiesUCD to announce recipients of the Craig Dobbin Legacy Scholarships in UCD today. Congrats to all 31 scholars, from across Canada & Ireland, who will travel between UCD & Canada over the coming 18 months!🇮🇪🇨🇦
This is exactly why we have the @cityoftoronto Recognition Review process and why scholars here are working to educate the public on who and what we honour in everyday place names and why it matters!
People, places and things behind Austin street names. Well done @statesman. Every city should publish an article like this--important to building a responsible audit of what and who is honored through everyday names and where reform should take place. statesman.com/story/news/his…
