SUMMARY:Dr Justin Dolan Stover Moore Institute Visiting Fellow
DESCRIPTION:  \nDigitizing Revolutionary Violence against Irish Environments \n  \n \n  \nAbstract: \nThe Irish Revolution demonstrates the importance of initiative\, ingenuity\, and familiarity with various landscapes and peoples as intangible necessities of guerrilla warfare. County-based studies of the Irish Revolution often confine these features to administrative and political boundaries\, which fail to convey the truly organic complexity of revolutionary activism\, violence\, and environmental destruction. Natural features\, such as mountains\, bogs\, and rivers\, and spatial considerations\, such as transportation routes and proximity to urban centres\, very much directed the pace and scale of revolutionary violence and counter-insurgency measures. In many ways\, the scope of damage wrought upon built and natural landscapes exceeded human casualties. This paper will help re-conceptualize revolutionary violence in Ireland through digital humanities tools to present a more complex representation of the period. \nBio: \nJustin Dolan Stover holds a B.S. in History from Central Michigan University\, a M.A. in Twentieth Century Irish History from University College Dublin\, and a Ph.D. in History from Trinity College Dublin. His research has explored the social impacts of war and violence in Europe during the First World War and Irish Revolution. Dr Stover’s current work considers the environmental impact of the Irish Revolution\, which provides contrasting guerrilla and counter-insurgency examples to larger-scale war damage\, displacement\, and environmental nationalism in modern Europe. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:NUI Galway Innocence Clinic Hosts Conversation with Guildford Four Member Paddy Armstrong and Journalist Mary-Elaine Tynan
DESCRIPTION:  \nStudents to highlight their investigations into wrongful convictions \nThe NUI Galway Innocence Clinic will host an onstage-conversation with Paddy Armstrong\, wrongfully convicted as part of the Guildford Four\, and journalist Mary-Elaine Tynan in their first ever appearance in the west of Ireland on Tuesday\, 2 April\, 2019 at the Aras Moyola Large Lecture Theatre. As part of the programme\, NUI Galway students\, who have been investigating wrongful convictions with the NUI Galway Innocence Clinic\, will also highlight their work in a panel discussion moderated by Mary-Elaine Tynan. \nArmstrong and Tynan collaborated on Life After Life: A Guildford Four Memoir\, which was published two years ago\, the book is a nakedly honest and compelling exposure of Armstrong’s experience being wrongfully convicted\, its crushing aftermath and the ultimate restoration of his life. \nThe NUI Galway Innocence Clinic is a fledgling initiative launched in September 2018 with the cooperation of the School of Law\, Journalism Programme and Irish Centre for Human Rights\, NUI Galway under the guidance of Anne Driscoll\, a visiting US Fulbright Scholar and award-winning journalist. During the first semester\, Driscoll taught students about wrongful convictions\, how they happen and why\, as well as how to use journalism techniques and skills to investigate wrongful conviction cases. In the second semester\, the students have been applying those lessons in an investigation of the Maamtrasna murders case. Myles Joyce\, who was wrongfully convicted and hanged in 1882\, received the second posthumous presidential pardon in Irish history by President Michael D. Higgins on 4 April\, 2018. Students have been looking at the claims of innocence made by four other men who falsely pleaded guilty in the case – Myles’ brothers Martin\, Patrick\, and Patrick’s son Thomas Joyce\, along with John Casey. \nAnne Driscoll\, US Fulbright Scholar at NUI Galway\, said: “We are thrilled that Paddy Armstrong and Mary-Elaine Tynan have agreed to share their story with the students of the NUI Galway Innocence Clinic\, the greater NUI Galway community and the public at large. There is an important role for both law and journalism in addressing the injustice of a wrongful conviction and we hope this programme will explore that very idea. This special event is the culmination of a year of extraordinary exploration and learning by the law\, journalism and human rights students who have participated in the Innocence Clinic. And as my Fulbright scholarship comes to a conclusion\, I want to express how profoundly grateful I am to NUI Galway for having the vision and commitment to offer students this unique and valuable learning opportunity. Having an Innocence Clinic is both good for students and good for society.” \nThe event is free and open to the public but registration is required at Eventbrite here https://innocenceclinic.eventbrite.ie. \nLife After Life: A Guildford Four Memoir will be available for sale and for signing by Paddy Armstrong and Mary-Elaine Tynan beginning at 5pm outside the Aras Moyola Large Lecture Theatre. The programme will begin at 5:30pm followed by a reception afterwards. \nFor more information visit: https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/nui-galway-innocence-clinic-hosts-life-after-life-tickets-59045844711?aff=ebdshpsearchautocomplete \nFor further information about the NUI Galway Innocence Clinic contact Anne Driscoll\, NUI Galway at annemdriscoll@gmail.com or +353 (0) 87 0696613. \nFor Press contact Gwen O’Sullivan\, Press and Information Executive\, NUI Galway at gwen.osullivan@nuigalway.ie or 091 495695. \nPhoto PA_0093.jpg: Paddy Armstrong.

Photo: Gill Books \nNotes to Editors \nAbout the Book – Life After Life: A Guildford Four Memoir \n“Looking back over the last six\, almost seven decades\, the images that flash through my mind are hardly believable – sometimes\, it feels like I’m remembering someone else’s life. The truth is\, I’ve lived three very different lives: the one before prison; the one in prison; and my life since then. It has taken years to make sense of it all\, but now I’ve found a voice to speak about it.” Paddy Armstrong \nPaddy Armstrong was one of four people falsely convicted of The Guildford Bombing in 1975. He spent fifteen years in prison for a crime he did not commit. Today\, as a husband and father\, life is wonderfully ordinary\, but the memory of his ordeal lives on. Here\, for the first time and with unflinching candour\, he lays bare the experiences of those years and their aftermath. \nLife after Life is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of forgiveness. It reminds us of the privilege of freedom\, and how the balm of love\, family and everyday life can restore us and mend the scars of even the most savage injustice. \n“This book captures the sweet soul of Paddy. Beautifully written. For lovers of freedom everywhere.” Jim Sheridan\, Film Director \n“Paddy Armstrong’s account of his wrongful conviction and imprisonment is as gripping as a work of fiction. It is an extraordinary\, terrifying story. I am familiar with just about all the considerable body of memoirs arising from the miscarriages of justice of the 1970s\, but I can say without equivocation that this is the best. Beautifully written. If it were a work of fiction\, it would be worthy of the Man Booker shortlist.” Chris Mullin\, The Observer \n“Couldn’t put it down\, stunningly written\, honest\, shocking\, harrowing. A horrendous story\, populated with some real heroes.” Noel Whelan\, Barrister and Irish Times columnist \nAbout the Author \nPaddy Armstrong is a native of Belfast\, Northern Ireland. In 1975 he was falsely convicted of helping carry out the Guildford and Woolwich bombings\, a conviction for which he spent 15 years in prison. Today\, he lives in Clontarf\, Dublin\, with his wife and children. \nMary-Elaine Tynan worked with Paddy for almost two years to produce Life after Life: A Guildford Four Memoir.
