SUMMARY:Political Science and Sociology Research Seminar: "Beyond the Binary: Civic Parties in Post-Agreement Northern Ireland"
DESCRIPTION:This is an in-person event held in is room 306 in Aras Moyola\, NUI Galway.\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nThis presentation will outline a book currently being developed about civic parties in deeply divided societies\, focusing on the case of Northern Ireland after the 1998 Good Friday Agreement. The book explores the place of civic parties – those that organize on the basis of issues\, allegiances and identity categories other than ethno-national – within a political space structured along binary ethno-national lines. In particular\, it addresses the puzzle of how these parties have managed to survive and grow in post-Agreement Northern Ireland in the context of a consociational power-sharing system explicitly designed to accommodate ethno-national groups. The book assesses the opportunities and barriers civic parties encounter in the power-sharing landscape and the strategies they have used to navigate those structures. Through an in-depth examination of the case of Northern Ireland\, which is placed in dialogue with evidence from other post-conflict cases\, the book aims to elucidate the phenomenon of civic parties in deeply-divided places and their potential to contribute to post-conflict transitions. \nCera Murtagh is Assistant Professor in Irish Politics and Comparative Politics at Villanova University and Visiting Scholar in the School of Political Science and Sociology and the Moore Institute at NUI Galway in 2021-22. Her research concerns conflict and peace and gender politics\, focusing particularly on the mobilization of civic political parties and movements in deeply divided societies. Her work has been published in a number of journals including International Political Science Review and Nations and Nationalism. Dr Murtagh previously worked as Research Fellow at Queen’s University Belfast on an Economic and Social Research Council project entitled Exclusion amid Inclusion: Power-Sharing and Non-Dominant Minorities. She holds a PhD and an MSc from the University of Edinburgh and a BA from NUI Galway. She previously worked as a political journalist in Edinburgh and political researcher in the Scottish Parliament. \nRegistration\nTo attend\, please register via Eventbrite here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/beyond-the-binary-civic-parties-in-post-agreement-northern-ireland-tickets-276925891797

SUMMARY:Arts in Action presents: Julie Comparini & Yonit Kosovske Performing the Song Cycle ‘Watershed’ 
DESCRIPTION:Hermit Songs (1953) by Samuel Barber  \nWatershed (2020) by Ailís Ní Ríain  \nWatershed is a new song cycle for voice and piano inspired by the natural bodies of water and land in Ireland’s midwest region and along the Atlantic coast.  With music by renowned Irish composer Ailís Ní Ríain and text by Ballina-Killaloe resident\, poet Jessica Brown\, it is a song cycle inextricably rooted in place and in nature.  Central to the song-texts – which are taken from Jessica’s superb collection\, And Say (Revival Press\, Limerick 2019) – are themes informed by the writer’s personal interaction with water and the surrounding landscapes in counties Clare and Tipperary: Holy Island\, the hills of Moylussa and Tountinna overlooking Lough Derg\, the dunes of Fanore\, the Burren cliffs\, and the forest paths of the Galtees and the Silvermines. \nMusicians Julie Comparini and Yonit Kosovske perform this new work as part of a contemporary Art Song programme titled Lough Derg 1& 2 in which they present two song cycles\, new and slightly older: Aislís Ní Ríain’s Watershed (2020) alongside Samuel Barber’s Hermit Songs (1953) composed on texts by medieval monks and poets writing about Lough Derg in Donegal.  The Watershed song cycle was made possible through funding received from the Arts Council Music Commissions Award in 2020.  The Watershed CD\, produced by Now and Then Media\, was released in November 2021 and features the song cycle\, poetry readings\, and field recordings of soundscapes along and near Lough Derg in County Clare. \n \nJulie Comparini\, mezzo-soprano | Yonit Kosovske\, piano \nRegistration\nTickets available on Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/julie-comparini-yonit-kosovske-tickets-274654708627

SUMMARY:History Research Seminar Series: "Peace of Mind: Social Psychiatry\, Universal Basic Income and Preventing Mental Illness in the USA"
DESCRIPTION:Professor Matthew Smith (University of Strathclyde) \nPeace of Mind: Social Psychiatry\, Universal Basic Income and Preventing Mental Illness in the USA \nAbstract\nFollowing the Second World War\, a new\, interdisciplinary and preventive approach to psychiatry gained influence in the US.  Social psychiatry involved teams of social scientists and psychiatrists which explored the environmental causes of mental illness.  Although social psychiatry triggered deinstitutionalisation and the community mental health movement\, it is little known or understood today.  By exploring the four most important social psychiatry research projects\, this paper argues that not only should social psychiatry feature more in the historiography of twentieth-century mental health and psychiatry\, but it also should inform current attempts to prevent mental illness\, redirecting us to focus more on addressing systemic factors\, such as poverty\, inequality and social isolation\, through progressive policies\, such as Universal Basic Income (UBI). \nSpeaker Biography\nProfessor Matthew Smith is Professor in History at the University of Strathclyde and the Centre for the Social History of Health and Healthcare. He is the author of three monographs: An Alternative History of Hyperactivity: Food Additives and the Feingold Diet (Rutgers University Press\, 2011); Hyperactive: The Controversial History of ADHD (Reaktion\, 2012); and Another Person’s Poison: A History of Food Allergy (Columbia University Press\, 2015)\, which was reviewed in the New York Times and given honourable mention in the Association of American Publishers’ Prose Awards for 2016. He is currently working on a monograph project on the history of social psychiatry in the United States.  Funded by an AHRC Early Career Fellowship\, this project investigates how American psychiatrists and social scientists viewed the connection between mental illness and social deprivation during the decades that followed the Second World War. This funding has resulted in a special issue of Palgrave Communications (co-edited with Lucas Richert) and two edited volumes\, Deinstitutionalisation and After: Post-War Psychiatry in the Western World (2016) and Preventing Mental Illness: Past\, Present and Future (2018)\, both co-edited by Despo Kritsotaki and Vicky Long\, and published in the Palgrave series\, Mental Health in Historical Perspective. Professor Smith also currently co-leads (with Mike Danton) a Scottish Universities Insight Initiative project called Peace of Mind: Exploring Universal Basic Income’s Potential to Improve Mental Health. \nRegistration\nTo attend\, please register at: https://forms.office.com/r/mhpkVrqy0s. \nThis event will take place online\, via Zoom: https://nuigalway-ie.zoom.us/j/98951084778.
