MSCNI was honoured to be represented at the JLF Jaipur Literature Festival at Ulster University.
The festival provided a valuable platform for global thought leaders, academics, and writers to explore themes of history, identity, and intercultural understanding.
A key session attended was:
“Empire: Ireland, India and the Making of the Modern World”, featuring:
👉🏽William Dalrymple (The Anarchy, The Last Mughal)
👉🏽Nandini Das (Courting India)
👉🏽Jane Ohlmeyer (Making Empire)
This session, moderated by Christopher Kissane, offered critical insights into the historical relationships between Ireland and India and their continued relevance in today’s global context.
For MSCNI, engagement in events like JLF aligns with our mission to promote:
🎻Intercultural dialogue and understanding
👬Anti-racism and inclusion
🪇Community cohesion through shared learning
Such platforms are essential in strengthening relationships across communities and supporting informed, inclusive societies.
We look forward to continuing to engage in and support initiatives that bring people together through culture, education, and dialogue.
