SUMMARY:The School of Political Science and Sociology research seminar: ‘Spoiled for choice: The effects of negative political messaging in multiparty systems with multimember electoral districts’
DESCRIPTION:The School of Political Science and Sociology invite you to a research seminar with: \nMichele Crepaz (Queen’s University Belfast) \nSupported by the Power\, Conflict and Ideologies Research Cluster \n ‘Spoiled for choice: The effects of negative political messaging in multiparty systems with multimember electoral districts’ \n Abstract: \nClassical electoral behaviour theories associate the use of negative campaigning with two-party plurality systems. Nevertheless\, negative campaigning has become a widely used electoral strategy also outside of these contexts\, despite scant scholarly evidence of its benefits for political parties and candidates who employ it. Our research question is simple – is negative campaign messaging effective in multiparty systems with multimember districts? Or does it create a ‘boomerang effect’ in this context\, for which the producer of the message faces a backlash? Multiparty systems with multimember districts should\, according to the literature\, be least-likely scenarios\, where the effects of negative campaigning are most complex if not unpredictable. If found to be effective\, this could be evidence that the strategy of attacking political opponents is less context dependent than previously assumed. This paper uses the newly available archive of Facebook political ads to inform a survey experiment design that tests the effects of negative political messages on voters. We employ this survey in Ireland\, which uses the single transferable vote system\, as a suitable least-likely case. Our results suggest some preliminary evidence in support of the efficacy of negative campaigning in these contexts which invalidate previously held assumptions. We also probe the causal mechanisms that underlie the effects of negative messages in this context. \nPaper Authors: \nAlan Duggan (University of Nottingham) \nMichele Crepaz (Queen’s University Belfast) \nLiam Kneafsey (Trinity College Dublin) \nAll Welcome!

SUMMARY:Breaking Ground: Diversity and Inclusivity in Ireland’s Literary and Publishing Communities
DESCRIPTION:Breaking Ground: Diversity and Inclusivity in Ireland’s Literary and Publishing Communities   \nTo mark Nelson Mandela Anti-Racism Week at the University of Galway\, this event addresses the following question: how can we develop more inclusive literary and publishing industries that reflect Ireland’s rich and diverse culture? In the first part of the event (1:00-2:00 pm)\, authors from Breaking Ground Ireland (Ashwin Chacko\, Charlotte Rea-Patel\, Mary Watson) will deliver readings from their creative work. Launched in 2022\, Breaking Ground Ireland\, is a groundbreaking publication that profiles emerging and established writers and illustrators from ethnic minority backgrounds\, including those from Irish Traveller backgrounds. Refreshments will be served during a social interval (2:00-2:30 pm). In the second part of the event (2:30-4:00 pm)\, speakers (Sharmilla Beezmohun of Speaking Volumes and Chandrika Narayanan-Mohan of Skein Press) will address different aspects of inclusion and diversity in the literary and publishing industries in Ireland\, referring to their personal experiences of advocacy and activism in this area. Both will examine the current state of the field and make recommendations on best practices for building inclusivity in those environments. The event will conclude with a roundtable discussion featuring all invited speakers. This event is co-organised and moderated by Dr Justin Tonra and Dr Lindsay Reid of the School of English and Creative Arts. \nFurther information and registration at: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/breaking-ground-diversity-inclusivity-in-literature-publishing-tickets-526493485187 \n

SUMMARY:Margaret Heavey Memorial Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Margaret Heavey Memorial Lecture \nby Dr Eoghan Moloney\, Maynooth University:\n‘Old New Kings: Alexander the Great and the Presentation of Power’ \n\nAbstract: This talk will look at the literary presentation of the Macedonian kings in early history\, aiming to reconsider how the rule of the Argead kings was presented and understood by contemporaries. At the heart of this investigation is the inevitable contrast of Philip II and Alexander III\, emphasizing the limits of many stock comparisons and highlighting\, instead\, the subtlety of the approach of the ancient Macedonians. \nSpeaker: Dr Eoghan Moloney is Lecturer in Ancient History in the Department of Ancient Classics\, returning to Maynooth having formerly been senior lecturer in Classical Studies at the University of Winchester (2015–2022) as well as lecturer in Ancient History at the University of Adelaide (2006–2012). Eoghan took both BA & MA in Maynooth and then then moved to Darwin College\, Cambridge\, where he completed his PhD on the cultural history of the ancient Macedonians in the Faculty of Classics. That remains a key topic of interest\, with a new History of Macedonia in preparation for publication by Bloomsbury. But Eoghan has also published on the reception of Classics in Ireland and on the topic of peace in antiquity (Peace and Reconciliation in the Classical World (Routledge 2017\, with Michael Williams). \nReception to follow. All welcome!
