SUMMARY:The Child Sex Scandal and Modern Irish Literature: Writing the Unspeakable
DESCRIPTION:Irish Studies’ Seminar Series-Spring 2021 – School of Geography\, Archaeology and Irish Studies\, in association with the Moore Institute\, NUI Galway. \nDistinguished Professor in English and Disability Studies Joseph Valente\, PhD\, and the John and Rebecca Moores Professor of English at the University of Houston Margot Gayle Backus\, PhD\, will speak on their newly published book The Child Sex Scandal and Modern Irish Literature: Writing the Unspeakable. The authors examine modern cultural responses to child sex abuse in Ireland. Beginning with James Joyce\, they offer historically contextualized and psychoanalytically informed readings of scandal narratives by nine notable modern Irish authors who actively\, pointedly\, and persistently question Ireland’s responsibilities regarding its children. Through close\, critical readings\, a more nuanced and troubling account emerges of how Ireland’s postcolonial heritage has served to enable such abuse. \nWith a Foreword by Fintan O’Toole\, The Child Sex Scandal and Modern Irish Literature refines the debates on why so many Irish children were lost by offering insight into the lived experience of both the children and those who failed them. \nSpeakers\n\nProfessor Margot Backus (University of Houston)\nProfessor Joseph Valente (University at Buffalo\, SUNY)\n\nChair: Dr Nessa Cronin\, Centre for Irish Studies\, School of Geography\, Archaeology and Irish Studies\, NUI Galway. \nRegistration\nPlease register for this Zoom webinar at: https://nuigalway-ie.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_IViKcWogTpeu3Gnon1QNZA.

SUMMARY:May Day webinar: Revolution? Ireland from below\, c.1919-1923
DESCRIPTION:This webinar\, hosted by the Irish Centre for Histories of Labour and Class and the Moore Institute\, looks at Ireland from below in the Revolutionary period. During the Irish struggle for independence\, and underpinning that struggle\, a number of grassroots social movements – including general strikes\, land seizures\, and the munitions boycott by transport workers – developed. In recent commemorative events\, this aspect of the history of the period has frequently been overlooked. The panel will discuss various social struggles of 1919-1923\, considering the objectives of those involved\, their notions of justice and equity\, and their connections with political and military organisations. \nPanellists\n\nDr Anne Boran\nFrancis Devine\nDr Terry Dunne\nMs Moira Leyden\nDr Peter Rigney\n\nMODERATOR: \nDr John Cunningham\, Director – ICHLC \nFollowed by the launch of Peter Rigney’s How Railwaymen and Dockers Defied an Empire: The Irish Munitions Embargo of 1920\, launched by Tish Gibbons. \nRegistration\nTo attend\, please register via: https://nuigalway-ie.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_VfbdNcjSSD6fx9B9UIhplA. The session will also be streamed live on the Moore Institute’s Facebook page. \nEvent Recording
