Research into Irish Traveller Conflict

Outside The Colony

Sarah Meaney Sartori.1st Dr Sarah Sartori - Higher Education Strategic Project Lead, South East Technological University South East Technological University. Maynooth University County Wexford, Ireland. About I have worked as a creative adult educator for over fifteen years and am passionate about the transformative power of critical education. My PhD was with the Department of Adult and Community Education in Maynooth University and was a creative exploration of the experience of educational exclusion from the perspective of prisoners and youth. I believe that research should disrupt the status quo and is best carried out with and by the communities for whom it is intended. .............................................................................................. Our guest and renowned, researcher, Dr Sarah Meaney Sartori On an uncharted research journey, that happens to be the core vision of the TraVision Foundation. We aim to create platforms where knowledge and education flow freely, embracing individuals with a diverse educational background including non-formal education. Much of what we seek here isn't confined to the pages of conventional textbooks or traditional academic institutions. It's the cumulative wisdom of lifetimes, brought together through personal experiences, collective insights, intergenerational knowledge, and historical narratives and the first time scientifically backed history narrative. Unfortunately, we are also a non-funded organisation. Despite being the only organisation that was set up by Traveller, TraVision Foundation. In our quest for understanding, we recognize that opinions about the Traveller community may vary greatly. We welcome all perspectives, even those harbouring deep-seated grievances. Our aim is not to perpetuate the cycle of generational confinement within unchanging colonial institutions. Instead, it's to shed light on the unnecessary and unjustified treatment of fellow humans. The only platform that offers space for dialogue and understanding, regardless of differing viewpoints. As mentioned we get no funding, Truth be told we get very little support from support groups but that might change as several international universities have taken interest in this narrative. No State funding, and the little financial support we get comes from kind-hearted individuals and we are forever grateful. Do get in touch. Hope you enjoy and we hopefully there's something in all this for you We appreciate and respect all donations that we receive and thanks to everyone who has donated. https://www.gofundme.com/f/report-of-the-commission-on-itinerancy-in-1963 #OutsideTheColony --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/travision/message
