This past year has seen an undeniable refocusing on social issues on social media platforms, especially from younger generations. There has been a movement toward re-educating oneself, becoming more aware of deeply rooted biases that continue to have consequences on …
A Year of Digital Society Events
Grace Fannon looks back at how societies have adapted over the last twelve months
Trinity is heading into the final few weeks of a year that is hopefully unlike anything we will see again. Between online lectures, frustratingly short library booking slots and an absence of sneaker-wearing tourists meandering around campus, it has been …
Trinity’s bilingual societies are important for all students
Atticus Medd explains how bilingual societies provide a platform to unify international and Irish students alike
One of the first things that you notice about Trinity is its range of languages. This range can be daunting and is something of an embarrassment for me, given I studied French for over ten years and can barely order …
This Week in Trinity: Week 10
Between a ball, a debate final and Daisy Edgar Jones’ address to TCD LawSoc, get ready for an exciting week
Stumbling into Week 10, I think we are all feeling a little disorientated after the extra long weekend. Excessive consumption of sunshine, ice cream, and some sneaky canal cans may have momentarily suspended the reality of a looming end of …
Society Spotlight: Visual Arts Society
Grab a pair of Docs and an easel – we’re getting to know the Visual Arts Society

Staying Afloat with Societies
Between TCDSU Mental Health Week and facilitating social interaction, Societies play an important role in student mental wellbeing
University can be a difficult time for anyone. The challenges of self-motivated learning, the often-jarring experience of leaving home, and the anxiety of navigating new social relationships take their toll. Increasing responsibilities and the impetus to perform well academically can …
This Week at Trinity: Trinity Green Week, Trinity Arts Festival and DU Players’ Glitter Week
Week 4 is a busy one at Trinity, crammed with art, theatre and all things green
It seems as though spring has finally sprung, and although we may all be missing pints at the pav after (read: instead of) lectures, some extra sunshine is certainly welcome. Even if the extended daylight isn’t enough to lift your …
Society Spotlight: DU Classical Society
Grace Fannon discusses the society that you haven’t joined, but should wish you had
To many, classics may seem something of a niche field. A subject reserved for waist coat clad and pipe smoking spouters of ancient languages, all of whom probably went to Eton. But, Jared Miller, Auditor (Chairperson) of Trinity’s Classical Society, …
