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:Geopolitics and Justice Cluster: Human Security Talk
DESCRIPTION:Dorothy Estrada-Tanck (University of Murcia\, Spain) \n“Human security and international human rights law in the Mediterranean crisis” \nAbstract: \nThe unspeakable tragedy faced by thousands of migrant persons dying at sea trying to reach the European Mediterranean coast from the Middle East and North Africa has resulted in nearly 2\,000 registered deaths in 2018. This situation\, deriving from the protection gaps and deficient and unjust migration policies of national\, EU and international legal systems\, compel us to propose novel theoretical frameworks for thought and action. Human security has been advanced as the protection of the vital core of all human lives in ways that enhance human freedoms and human fulfillment\, and safeguarding people from critical and pervasive threats and situations. I make the argument that a human security approach adds significant value to the traditional purely legal analysis of human rights. Drawing on UN and European human rights law and jurisprudence\, I will explore the concrete ways in which this may play out in practice. I contend that human security and human rights can act together as a blueprint to address the Mediterranean crisis in a more just and efficient manner\, and thus address one of the greatest challenges of our time. \nAbout the speaker:  Dorothy Estrada-Tanck is Assistant Professor of International Law at the University of Murcia\, Spain. She holds a PhD in Law from the European University Institute\, an MSc in Political Theory from LSE and a law degree (Mexico City). She enjoys broad academic and professional experience in the United Nations\, State bodies and NGOs in Mexico\, Italy\, the U.S. and Spain\, focusing on issues of human rights\, gender\, and socio-economic justice. She is the author of Human Security and Human Rights under International Law: The Protections Offered to Persons Confronting Structural Vulnerability (Hart Publishing\, Oxford\, 2016). \nContact details: +34 868883259; dorothyestrada@um.es
