Founded in January 2013 and relaunched in June 2022, Irish Student Left Online is a blog set up to give space for the radical student voice studying in Ireland. Alongside discussing the ever present issues of student fees, grant cuts and the continuous neo-liberalisation of third level education, both in the Republic and in Northern Ireland, it will discuss wider topics such as abortion legislation, LGBTQ rights, anti-racist/anti-fascist movements, feminism, anti-war and of course the wider anti-austerity campaign.
The second function will be to start a discussion and debate on exploring the possibilities of what the student movement can be beyond the usual lobbyist tactics of recent years and how a broad left student group could develop to cater for a united and truly progressive student movement.
If you would like to get involved in Irish Student Left Online, feel free to drop us an email at [email protected] and we will do our best to get back to you as soon as possible.
