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:Digital Scholarship Seminar 43: Peter Stokes
DESCRIPTION:Digital Scholarship Seminar 43: Peter Stokes \n12pm | Tues 20 Nov 2018 | Arts Millennium/Psychology Building G067 \nPeter Stokes (Paris\, École Pratique des Hautes Études\, Université PSL) \nModelling texts and manuscripts: some digital approaches to material texts \nPalaeographers\, codicologists and indeed textual editors have long engaged with technological developments and the challenges that they present\, and recent years are no exception to that. Developments in digital imaging\, the internet\, the availability of powerful computers and new algorithms in machine vision and artificial intelligence: all these are already transforming the way we study and understand books and the texts they contain. Nevertheless\, real questions remain here. What does it mean to represent a material object digitally: what do we gain and lose\, and when does it matter? Where are the foreseeable limits to what the computer can achieve? Conversely\, are we fully taking advantage of all the computer has to offer? Are we driving the technology\, or is it leading us? This talk will discuss these issues through consideration of some recent developments in the application of digital and computational methods to historical books and writing\, focussing particularly on the recently completed ‘Exon’ project on the Exon Domesday survey of South-West England.

SUMMARY:Creative Coding Meet-up
DESCRIPTION:This semester we’re going to run a weekly session for those interested in learning “creative coding”. This approach is a good way for those without any coding experience to develop a foundation in programming. The sessions will use online resources (see below) to guide self-directed learning. \n\nCreative coding is a different discipline than programming systems. The goal is to create something expressive instead of something functional. Interaction design\, information visualization and generative art are all different types of creative coding – which has become a household term describing artworks articulated as code. (via Awesome Creative Coding ) \n\nWhat can I expect?\n\nThis is a peer support group\, not an instructor-led workshop / class.\nIt’s an opportunity to schedule some time each week to develop your coding skills\, and to get some help\, if you need it.\nThere are a collection of tutorial videos (bring headphones)\, online courses and reference material linked to in the “Further Details” section below\, for you to work through at your own pace.\n\nIf you have no coding experience\, and aren’t sure where or how to start\, someone will help you. \nCome along\, meet people who are also learning to code\, and get help if you run into any problems. Showing what you’re working on would be great too. \nFurther details\nYou can find further details\, and learning resources\, at: https://github.com/dh-nuigalway/Creative-Coding-Meetup. We are planning on hosting the sessions on Tuesdays from 3pm – 4pm\, in the “Bridge Room”\, on the first floor of the Hardiman Research Building. \nAny questions?: Contact David Kelly (david.d.kelly@nuigalway.ie)

SUMMARY:Talk on Islam and Comparative Theology  “The People of The Book\, ahl al-kitāb: A Modern Comparative Theological Exploration” by Richard Kimball (TCD)
DESCRIPTION:This paper examines the use of the Qur’ānic term ahl al-kitāb by several contemporary Muslim and Christian scholars in the context of our increasingly interconnected and pluralist societies. The Arabic term ahl al-kitāb is frequently translated as the People of the Book. The People of the Book are the religious communities that the Qur’ān identifies as following divine revelation in the form of a book. Traditionally these communities are Jews\, Christians\, Sabians and to a lesser extent Zoroastrians. Sometimes the Qur’ān praises these communities and their sacred texts and other times they are criticised. Therefore\, what the Qur’ān has to say about these communities and their texts is highly contextual\, requiring nuanced understanding of any verse in question. \nFor Islamic scholars\, the application of the Qur’ānic commentary tradition\, known as tafsīr allows for an authoritative link to the past that anchors their contribution in modern discourse. Variations from past interpretations of particular social issues\, due to modern social pressures like participation as equal citizens in multi-faith and multi-cultural societies\, often follow formal reflection on past scholarship\, combined with the introduction of new modern contexts as variables in the decision-making process. The research subsequently demonstrates the resilience of the parameters set within the traditional commentary for Muslim interlocutors. Therefore\, this paper posits\, greater awareness by Christians of the application of the traditional commentary\, can play an important role in the development of improved dialogue and cooperation\, whereby each may respect the other as fully Muslim and fully Christian. \n  \nKey words: ahl al-kitāb\, asbâb an-nuzûl\, bid‘ah\, fitra\, hadīth\, People of the Book\, ra’y\, sahabah\, tafsīr\, tabi’un\, taqlīd. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Modernist Studies Ireland's: Works in Progress
DESCRIPTION:Modernist Studies Ireland’s monthly forum for new on-going work in Irish modernist studies—Works in Progress—cordially invites you to its third session of this autumnal season\, taking place on Tuesday\, 20th Nov.\, from 6-8 pm in The Bridge Room (THB)\, as per usual with nibbles and wine. This seminar will open to view the much understudied literary modernism of Irish language writers in the twentieth century. We’re honoured to welcome two speakers from NUI Galway’s Centre for Irish studies for the occasion. Hardiman and IRC scholar Eoin Byrne will be speaking about ‘Semantic Succour: The Languages of Irish Modernism’ in the context of the works of Samuel Beckett\, Máirtín Ó Cadhain\, and Brian Ó Nualláin (Flann O’Brien)\, illuminating the late-modernist cultural production during Ireland’s postcolonial moment. A multilingual approach to this cultural moment\, Eoin’s paper posits\, not only strengthens the New Modernist Studies’ ‘vertical expansion’; it also helps in better sketching the blurred borders between modernist and postmodernist aesthetics more generally. Our second speaker is IRC and Hardiman scholar Síobhra Aiken\, who recently curated the exhibition Máirtín Ó Direáin: Fathach File/Reluctant Modernist\, held in NUI Galway from March-July 2018\, and currently on tour. Síobhra’s talk\, entitled ‘“Ní file ach filíocht an bhean”: Towards a Gendered Reading of Irish Language Modernist Poetry’\, will put the gendered streak of Irish language modernist poetry centre stage. Please join us for what promises to be a most intriguing event\, keen to shine a light on many severely neglected dimensions of Irish modernism and its critical apprehension. \n
