We’re delighted to share Coastwatch's upcoming event, unveiling the 1st Survey Results on Marine Litter. This event will bring together experts, stakeholders, and dedicated volunteers to discuss findings and explore actionable solutions for tackling marine litter in Ireland.     The event includes:    🍴 Lunch & Launch by Minister Ossian Smyth at the TCD Pavilion, starting at 1:00 PM.  🐚 Workshop at the M17 Museum Building, where survey insights will be analysed, fostering collaborative discussions on impactful solutions for cleaner coasts.    The Coastwatch Survey, a flagship initiative since 1987, leverages the power of citizen science, gathering vital data on coastal conditions across Ireland and Europe. The data is collected by hundreds of volunteers participating every year in the Coastwatch Survey, giving their time and energy for free. By combining volunteer observations with modern tools like GIS and water testing, this survey paints a crucial picture of our coastal environment. Thanks to the Coastwatch ( Irish Coastal Environment Group - Coastwatch) for the Irish Survey.    Event Details:     📅 November 21, 2024  🕐 1:00 – 3:45 PM  📍 TCD Pavilion & M17 Museum Building, Trinity College Dublin  🎟️ The event is free but ticketed – so make sure to secure your spot  https://lnkd.in/eRK6zX78   Don't miss the chance to contribute to this important conversation and help pave the way for a sustainable marine future!     #MarineLitter #CitizenScience #EnvironmentalAction #CoastalSurvey Zero Pollution: Karin Dubsky, Bernie Connolly, Eoin Dubsky from Coastwatch, more4nature coordinator Uta Wehn, and partners Earthwatch Europe, IHE Delft Institute for Water Education, Polish Smog Alert, NILU, The Norwegian Institute for Water Research (NIVA), RIVM National Institute for Public Health and the Environment, VITO, and Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia    Seas At Risk   

After making it out the other end of a tough semester, I am just now realizing that I never shared this! This project was a long time coming (published nearly two years after its original inception!). I am grateful for the contributions of both the participants and TTTM members who are the reason why this project exists. The ultimate goal of this project is to spark reflection, as I believe that is the first step towards effective change. Original Post: How does institutional White supremacy manifest itself in our daily lives? Ta'Ziyah Jarrett (Affiliate, Critical Race Museology) shares her One Big Idea that institutional White supremacy exists all around us, to the point that it is found in everyday objects. She develops this idea in her collaborative project, "Visualizing White Supremacy in Institutions." 🔗 Learn more about the "Visualizing White Supremacy in Insitutions" project here:

🌍 Exploring the Power of Critical Museology 🏛️ As museum professionals, we often find ourselves asking: Whose stories are we telling? Whose voices are we amplifying—or leaving out? These are the questions at the heart of Critical Museology, a field that challenges us to rethink traditional museum practices and embrace inclusivity, equity, and community engagement. Critical Museology goes beyond the display of artifacts. It’s about examining the social, political, and cultural systems that shape our institutions. It calls for museums to not only preserve history but also to address uncomfortable truths, decolonize narratives, and foster dialogues that resonate with all communities. In today’s rapidly changing world, museums have an unprecedented opportunity to be catalysts for social change. By embracing critical museology, we can create spaces that are not only educational but also transformational. Let’s keep this important conversation going! 💬 #Museology #CriticalMuseology #MuseumInnovation #InclusiveMuseums #CulturalHeritage #eminspost #eminmuseum
