SUMMARY:Inaugural Prof. Turlough Fitzgerald Memorial Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Professor Richard Reynolds Deputy Head\, Division of Brain Sciences\,Wolfson Neuroscience LaboratoriesImperial College London\n“Knowledge\, gifting and passion: a recipe for success in Neuroscience”\nOrganised by the Discipline of Anatomy\, School of Medicine and the Galway Neuroscience Centre\, in remembrance of the outstanding contributions that the late Professor Turlough Fitzgerald made to Neuroscience and Anatomy research and teaching at UCG/NUIG. \nProfessor Richard Reynolds Bioprofile:  Professor Richard Reynolds studied Pharmacology at King’s College London from 1975 to 1981 before embarking on a career in MS research and has now been Professor of Cellular Neuroscience at Imperial College\, London\, for the last 13 years. He is the Scientific Director of the UK Multiple Sclerosis Tissue Bank and also heads an MS research unit at the Hammersmith Hospital. Professor Reynolds has been carrying out MS related research for the last 30 years and current research in the unit is designed to gain an understanding of the mechanisms involved in both neurodegeneration and repair processes in the brain in MS. This research is dependent on a supply of well characterised human brain tissue that has been collected by the UK MS Tissue Bank because of the desire of the MS community to contribute to the research in a practical way. This work has led him to be involved in teaching both science and medical students about MS and to travel around the British Isles helping people with the illness understand what is happening to them. At home he enjoys cooking\, relaxing with his family\, playing the guitar and travelling. Richard is married to Jane\, has four children\, three grandchildren\, and lives in Oxfordshire. \nLunch provided after the lecture\nFor more information contact david.finn@nuigalway.ie

SUMMARY:Gender ARC Lunchtime Seminar Series: Dr. Julie Gaucher\, PhD in French Literature and Sport History\, University of Lyon 1 Writing the Sportswomen: Between Tradition and Modernity
DESCRIPTION:Gender ARC Lunchtime Seminar Series\nDr. Julie Gaucher\,PhD in French Literature and Sport History\, University of Lyon 1\nWriting the Sportswomen: Between Tradition and Modernity\nThis New Character in French Literature from 1920’s to 1950’s  \nAbstract: Till now\, Gender Studies rarely focused on the fictive character of the sportswoman. Though it is an emblematic figure that makes visible the social norms and points out the rules of gendered relations. It also shows the mutations and/or the resistances to modernity. In the first part of the twentieth century\, literature was fascinated by this new figure\, and tried to understand and surround its identity. Descriptions and narrations hesitated between the respect of a traditional femininity and the construction of new gendered references. \n\nThis presentation will study French fictions about sports like poems and novels\, including popular literature. We will focus on the first part of the twentieth century\, when modernity implicated a new gendered order. On one hand\, sportswoman could appear as a symbol of emancipation: this character was in link with the ‰Û÷tomboy’. On the other hand\, this figure could be understood as an original translation of the traditional ideal of femininity: sportswomen could represent mothers and wives of exception. Thus this article will aim at showing how\, through a series of stylistic\, narrative and semiotic processes\, the fiction tried to understand one of the new female models. Dr Julie Gaucher’s research falls within an approach of Cultural History\, in the intersection of different disciplines: French Literature\, History of Sport\, Gender and Women History. Her investigations focus on models of gender proposed in Sport Literature. In other words\, she tries to define the characteristic and the values of femininities and masculinities in this specific corpus\, from 1920’s to 1950’s. Her recent investigations question the representation of the body in graphic novels.  \nAll Welcome\nFor more information please contact gillian.browne@nuigalway.ie
