SUMMARY:Climate-Themed Art Exhibition by Gordon Bromley
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nNUI Galway’s Moore Institute and Galway University Foundation will host a climate-themed exhibition\, Art on the Edge\, in the Hardiman Research Building during the month of November. Featuring original artwork by NUI Galway physical geographer\, Dr Gordon Bromley\, the exhibition includes a mix of drawings and paintings captured from his international field research. \nThe exhibition will be launched at 5pm on Thursday\, 1 November followed by a seminar at 6pm by Dr Bromley on The business end of climate research\, showcasing ongoing climate research at NUI Galway. The event and exhibition is free and open to the public. \nArt on the Edge displays science-inspired artwork from almost two decades of field research into earth’s climate system. Dr Gordon Bromley\, an NUI Galway Foundation Research Leader\, describes the exhibition as “bringing the public face-to-face with climate science – and climate scientists – through a lens of art.” It will feature Dr Bromley’s artwork from the high deserts of Peru to the edge of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet\, coupled with human artefacts (scientific and everyday items left on the ice such as drink cans\, old radiosondes\, and a geologic pick axe). It will also feature photographs and video footage from Dr Bromley’s field work in Antarctica\, Greenland\, Peru\, Colombia\, and Scotland\, demonstrating how everyday people use our landscapes as laboratories and fostering the notion of climate science as a vital element of our community. \nSpeaking about the seminar\, Dr Bromley from the School of Geography and Archaeology at NUI Galway\, said: “The seminar will consider the consequences of climate in flux\, including today’s rapid global warming. Earth’s climate is inherently changeable. Human-induced climate change represents one of the greatest uncertainties we face in the 21st Century and beyond. This topic is a highly visible source of public disquiet and political controversy\, but the actual science feeding our climatologic knowledge remains mysterious to the vast majority. And it is this disconnect\, between science and the public that funds it\, that is the biggest challenge to our society’s effective preparation for future ‘climate shock’. \n“The seminar will serve as an opportunity for us to explore exactly what climate is\, how we think it behaves based on scientific research\, and plausible scenarios for our future climate and sea level\, highlighting the new and ongoing climate research being conducted at NUI Galway.” \nProfessor Daniel Carey\, Director of the Moore Institute\, said: “This exhibition of stunning artwork will inspire much-needed discussion and reflection on climate change. The conjunction of art and science reminds us that only by convening a wider conversation that includes the humanities and Science\, Technology\, Engineering and Maths (STEM) can we make progress in public and academic understanding.” \nAs part of his international field research in these various locations\, Dr Bromley primarily uses the geologic record of glaciation to establish two things: the timing and magnitude of past abrupt climate change events\, and the impact of abrupt climate change on Earth’s ecosystems. He also continues to work towards understanding the cause of the ice ages and the sensitivity of our climate to carbon dioxide (for example\, if CO2 concentrations double\, what exactly will be the magnitude of atmospheric warming?). \n  \n

SUMMARY:Irish Studies Seminar Series: Woolfs in Ireland: The Lure of Language and Place by Anne Byrne
DESCRIPTION:Dr Anne Byrne (Sociology & Politics\, NUI Galway) will deliver her seminar\, “Woolfs in Ireland: The Lure of Language and Place”\, based on her ongoing research investigating the links between Virginia and Leonard Woolf and twentieth-century Ireland. For further details on the seminar and Dr Byrne’s work in this area please see below. \nThe seminar will take place at 4pm\, Thursday 1 November\, at the Seminar Room\, Centre for Irish Studies\, Distillery Road. \nBeidh an-fáilte roimh chách\, and do arrive early as seating is limited! \nWoolfs in Ireland: The Lure of Language and Place \nThe Woolfs record of their 10-day tour of Ireland in April-May 1934 neglects to mention meetings with indigenous Irish\, or so it seems. From a close reading of letters and diaries\, the Woolfs\, particularly Virginia\, experienced an unanticipated immersion in indigenous Irish culture\, albeit a mediated one. The Woolfs met with Apostle\, Celtic scholar and classicist George Derwent Thomson in Galway\, an English intellectual with intimate knowledge of the Irish language and life on the Blasket Islands. \nIn Dublin\, Virginia observed the cast and crew of The Man of Aran (1934)\, a documentary of the Aran Islands filmed by the Canadian\, Robert Flaherty. Woolf’s fascination with the Irish language and the Aran Islands are the subjects of this article. I argue that experiences of immersion in Irish culture\, despite herself\, led to the realization that Ireland was no country for Woolf\, and not only because of Irish loquacity or ‘the talk’. Virginia was animated and overwhelmed by Irish language and indigenous culture as re-represented by J.M. Synge\, Thomson and the Aran Islanders. Consequently\, she understood the magnitude of her separation from Ireland as artist and writer. \nThe distance and barrier created by an oral culture\, a vernacular language\, an historical and contemporary non-Anglophone literary tradition\, continuing conflicts over belonging and representations of Irishness by cultural nationalists\, could not be crossed without prodigious investment of time and effort and with little or no guarantee of success. Ireland\, in the midst of its own history\, could not offer refuge for the Woolfs\, personally\, professionally or politically. \nByrne\, Anne and Gosling\, Paul. 2018.
