Resource Title

Place, Politics and Power: A Financial Justice Walking Tour of the IFSC, Dublin

Summary

This self-guided financial justice walking tour resource is designed to directly explore the justice implications of economic actions and decisions made in Ireland, while posing questions such as ‘who has benefited?’ and ‘who has been burdened?’.

The authors strongly suggest that classroom-based research is carried out in advance to explore organisations and social movements both in Ireland and abroad who are trying to challenge the status quo to provide a counterbalance to the organisations they see on the tour.

Resource Details

Description

Place, Politics and Power provides talking points for ten locations in the IFSC in Dublin. This resource from Financial Justice Ireland hopes to spark conversations that can take students in multiple directions, depending on the intended goals. The concept of solidarity is central to the tour, as is the theme of colonialism, neocolonialism and more. During this process, the intention is to connect the local, place-based experience of living in Ireland with the global ramifications of economic globalisation, and its real world impacts.

The resource contains:

  • A practical ‘How to Use’ guide
  • Curriculum links
  • A map
  • Information and prompts for each location
