SOAS began its centenary celebrations this year and what began as a colonial institution has, of course, changed and evolved over time. It's slogan Knowledge is Power has evolved too. It's the university which decides what is considered real or legitimate knowledge. As we leave the university, this will apply to most of the things we do in life. Publishing firms decide who deserves to be published, media outlets deem what is worthy of news and what is not, and some of us, as I have begun to do, are applying for graduate schemes, painstakingly constructing our cover letters and CVs for powerful firms to decide whether we deserve to be hired or not. Power is one of those unavoidable realities of the world. Some of us are lucky enough to access it, some of us less so, and we are never going to live in a world without it. History and world events this year particularly have shown us what misplaced power or power in the wrong hands has done and is doing. But one of the things I've learnt during my time at SOAS is how beautiful it is when power is challenged or redistributed. Whether it's seeing the cleaners challenging management to be treated as equal members of the SOAS community or students starting the discussion on what the process of decolonising an institution would look like. From SOAS students mobilising to join the marchers to shut down immigration detention centres like Yellswoods to students mobilising to provide food aid and other essentials to refugees in Calais. These moments make me proud to have been a part of SOAS. It is in these moments where I feel I have learnt the most. I'll never forget the hour-long conversations in the JCR or the corridors of SOAS, which for me were as valuable as the lectures or tutorials. This might be because I'd missed these lectures because I was having these hour-long conversations somewhere else, but still the point still stands. Learning takes place in many different ways. We go through processes of education throughout our time here, informal and formal, both in class and outside. Whether it's at the bus stop, talking with a stranger, or stumbling upon a book in the SOAS library, which wasn't on our curriculums. Knowledge and, more importantly, wisdom can come from the most unexpected sources. Sometimes these sources aren't considered legitimate by society, but are worth their weight in what they give us. In one of the student union lectures we put on this year, internationally acclaimed writer Teju Cole told us that his grandma knew more than most of his college professors. Teju explained that his grandma's lived experiences, underlined by her race and class, informed her education in different ways. So we might not be qualified enough to society standards to challenge power, but that should not stop us from speaking truth to it. Despite entering an insecure world, the phrase knowledge is power, which usually alludes to domination and subjugation, so power us moving forward. We make our mark on the world, not like the colonists of 100 years ago who left the institution, but today to absorb, listen, learn, and centre the voices who weren't lucky enough to be in the room with us today. Thank you for listening and congratulations.
