SUMMARY:Political Science and Sociology Research Seminar: Humanitarian expressions of solidarity during the Cold War
DESCRIPTION:This is an in-person event held in the Hardiman Research Building’s Bridge Seminar Room\, THB-1001 (1st floor).\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nHumanitarian expressions of solidarity during the Cold War: a comparison of how the volatile security situation in Honduras conditioned the engagements of Oxfam and Médecins Sans Frontières with the principle of neutrality in the Salvadoran refugee camps\, 1980-1982. \nIn the Salvadoran refugee camps in Honduras\, NGOs encountered a Cold War humanitarian crisis that posed a very specific challenge to humanitarian action. What was the role of humanitarian actors when faced with a refugee population often treated as criminals by the host government? How should humanitarians have reacted when it turned out that the refugee camps at the border between El Salvador and Honduras were not in fact spaces of refuge at all\, but spaces of danger\, where the refugees remained targets of military harassment and violence\, and where there was no guarantee that refugees would be safe from camp incursions by the Honduran or Salvadoran military\, and their para-military accomplices? What is the meaning of the humanitarian principle of ‘neutrality’ in such a context? \nThis paper will compare the interventions of Oxfam and Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) to examine how the particularly volatile security conditions in the Salvadoran refugee crisis determined the parameters of humanitarian action. How did both NGOs engage with the principle of neutrality differently\, and in what ways were their actions either constrained or pushed to reflect a more radical stance by security considerations? How far was each NGO willing to go in adopting a more contextual understanding of ethical action that reflected the imperatives of solidarity and human rights? This paper will examine the initial phase of the humanitarian relief programme\, from 1980 to 1982\, in which both Oxfam and MSF established and crystallised their roles in the humanitarian programme in the face of intense controversy over allegations of collusion by World Vision with the Honduran army\, and the question of relocation of camps away from the border against the refugees’ wishes. In so doing\, it will focus on how the security situation itself directly affected each organisation’s decision-making process\, arguing that it simultaneously had the effect of radicalising and constraining humanitarian expressions of solidarity in Honduras. \nMaria Cullen is a fourth year PhD candidate in the History Department at NUI Galway\, working under the supervision of Dr. Kevin O’Sullivan. Her research is supported by the Irish Research Council (Government of Ireland Postgraduate Scholarship) and the National University of Ireland (NUI Travelling Studentship). The PhD project is a comparative study of the approach to ethical humanitarian action adopted by Médecins Sans Frontières and Oxfam in the 1980s. In particular\, it looks at the issues surrounding the integration of human rights discourse into humanitarian relief within the polarised political context of the Cold War. \nRegistration\nTo attend this event\, please register via Eventbrite at: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/humanitarian-expressions-of-solidarity-during-the-cold-war-tickets-303645540987

SUMMARY:Irish Studies Seminar Series\, 2021-22: “An Uneven Score: Gender Balance Investigation for Publicly Funded Composer Opportunities on the Island of Ireland (2004-2019)”
DESCRIPTION:“An Uneven Score: Gender Balance Investigation for Publicly Funded Composer Opportunities on the Island of Ireland (2004-2019)”\n by Laura Watson (Dept. of Music\, Maynooth University) and Michael Lydon (Centre for Irish Studies\, NUI Galway) \nLaura and Michael will speak on “An Uneven Score: Gender Balance Investigation for Publicly Funded Composer Opportunities on the Island of Ireland (2004-2019)”\, in relation to an ongoing research project investigating the gender balance of publicly-funded composer opportunities on the island of Ireland from 2004-2019. \nMs Róisín Maher (Cork School of Music\, MTU and PhD Scholar at DCU) and Dr Aileen Dillane (Irish World Academy of Music and Dance\, University of Limerick) will join conversation as Guest Respondents\, with Dr Verena Commins (Centre for Irish Studies\, NUI Galway) as expert Chair for the session. \nAbstract\nThis seminar outlines an ongoing research project investigating the gender balance of publicly funded composer opportunities on the island of Ireland from 2004-2019. The Research Project is being conducted over two phases by the Contemporary Music Centre\, Ireland (CMC) and Sounding the Feminists (STF) in partnership. Upon a successful completion of Phase One\, the project’s Research Associate Dr Michael Lydon began Phase Two in December 2021. Phase Two of this project is funded by the Arts Council of Ireland/An Chomhairle Ealaíon\, through CMC Strategic Funding. \nThe completion of Phase One was achieved by Dr Ciara Murphy\, resulting in ‘Scoping the Project Report’. This detailed report considers the feasibility of the project\, while also establishing an authoritative list of funding and commissioning organisations that offer specific composer funded opportunities\, while determining the availability of relevant records for the project. Phase Two is scheduled for completion in September 2022\, at which point a detailed report will reveal the gender balance of composer funded opportunities on the island of Ireland. \nThe seminar begins by establishing the impetus behind the project\, while offering a brief insight into Sounding the Feminists. Next\, it considers the finding from Phase One\, before focusing on Phase Two. Specially\, this entails outlining the methodology\, the progress of the project\, while also considering any initially challenges. Ultimately\, the seminar presents preliminary findings from this necessary investigation into the gender balance of publicly funded composer opportunities on the island of Ireland from 2004-2019. \nContemporary Music Centre (https://www.cmc.ie/) \nSounding the Feminists (https://www.soundingthefeminists.com/) \nBiography\nDr Laura Watson is Associate Professor of Music at Maynooth University\, where she also directs the MA Musicology.

SUMMARY:CALM seminar: The CEFR at 20: What have we gained from it?
DESCRIPTION:CALM seminar: The CEFR at 20: What have we gained from it?\nDr Dorothy Ní Uigín\, NUI Galway \nThe Common European Framework of Reference for Languages was developed by the Council of Europe in the 1990s and published officially in 2001\, with its principal aim being to establish transparency in language competency.  While the CEFR is widely used throughout Europe and beyond\, it is on occasion over-simplified\, with people focusing on the one-page\, six-level grid (A1 – C2) that describes the Framework\, without really interrogating how it can be best used in language testing and assessment\, and in authentic language learning.  This talk hopes to move beyond the ‘grid’\, and will focus on three aspects in particular of the CEFR and its influence over the past 20 years:  language testing and self-assessment; language and cultural competences and lesser-spoken / heritage languages and the Framework.  This investigation will help us to answer the question posed in the title of the talk: what have we gained from the CEFR? \nBiographical Note\nDr Dorothy Ní Uigín is the Director of the Teaching of Irish in Acadamh na hOllscolaíochta Gaeilge\, NUI Galway\, where the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) was first adopted for Irish-language courses in 2005.  She has a particular interest in language acquisition\, translation\, academic writing and integrity\, as well as bilingualism and biculturalism.  She has also published widely on the history of Irish-language journalism. \nRegistration\nPlease register at: https://nuigalway-ie.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_GU5GccVmSY24sZsQSS1-Zw \n \n\nVideo Recording
