📣 There was a special reason why the final talk from TEDxTrinityCollegeDublin was held back from our playlist: it had been selected as a TEDx Editor’s Pick, bringing this important conversation to a global audience.

We are delighted to share that Rethinking DEI for Europe, featuring Professor Laurent Muzellec, Dean of Trinity Business School, and Olamide Obadina, Trinity Global Business graduate, is now available to watch on YouTube.

Together, Laurent and Olamide question whether the well-intentioned DEI framework, rooted in the American civil rights movement and shaped by the United States’ particular racial history, can be applied directly to Europe’s distinct cultural and historical context.

They propose an alternative framework, EUP: Equity, Unity and Pluralism, inviting audiences to consider how fairness, individual freedom and social cohesion can be advanced across different societies.

If you watch one thing today, make it this. This compelling exchange between a Dean and a recent graduate will challenge familiar assumptions, introduce new perspectives and invite you to consider how the systems intended to bring people together might be reimagined.

Recently, Trinity College Dublin's PhD researchers visited Google's Dublin office as part of Google Tour: Academia Meets Practice, a Part-Time Officer Postgraduate Research initiative under TCD Students' Union (TCDSU).

As a long-standing supporter of PhD initiatives, Trinity Business School was delighted to support the event by hosting a pre-tour gathering for the researchers before they made their way to Google's European headquarters. Ruth O'Leary, on behalf of the Trinity Business School Careers team, addressed the group, offering encouragement and insights as they prepared to connect with industry professionals.

The visit gave researchers the opportunity to explore how the analytical, problem-solving and research skills developed during a PhD translate into industry. Through conversations with Google professionals, participants gained valuable insights into career pathways beyond academia, innovation in practice, and the broad impact of doctoral research.

The experience also brought together PhD researchers from across disciplines, creating opportunities to network, share perspectives and build new connections.

A sincere thank you to TCDSU for leading this excellent initiative, to Google Dublin for hosting such an engaging visit, and to everyone who helped make the experience such a meaningful one for Trinity's PhD community.

As generative AI becomes increasingly embedded in higher education, are universities asking the right questions?

In a new article for The AI Journal, Trinity Business School’s Dr Eimear Nolan and Professor Dirk Lindebaum of the University of Bath look beyond concerns about cheating and assessment to examine a deeper issue: how AI is reshaping the production, ownership and governance of knowledge.

They argue that universities must consider how growing reliance on AI could affect independent thought, critical judgement and our relationship with knowledge itself.

On Monday evening, colleagues, friends and family gathered to celebrate Professor Gerard McHugh and mark his retirement after an extraordinary 41 years of service to Trinity Business School.

The occasion was thoughtfully organised by Una Hennigan, and Dr Norah Campbell delivered a memorable speech that captured Gerard's remarkable contribution to the School, the University and the many people whose lives he has influenced.

Gerard's career at Trinity has been defined by leadership, vision, dedication and an unwavering commitment to generations of students whom he has taught, mentored, supported and inspired.
