SUMMARY:Impact Lecture: “What the future could hold” - postponed – a new date and further detail will be advised shortly.
DESCRIPTION:postponed – a new date and further detail will be advised shortly \nCASSCS colleagues are warmly invited to attend a lecture on research impact by Dr Mark Mann (University of Oxford) \nLECTURE: “What the future could hold”  \nAll welcome; no registration necessary \nFor a 40 minute presentation we will present example-driven illustrations of what you could do with innovations and new ideas emerging from SSAH. Mark Mann Limited has a bank of examples from which it can draw upon from a variety of universities to show how the different commercialisation (and broader knowledge exchange) pathways can be used to grow impact from an idea. These examples will be chosen so that they best align with Galway’s research base. Here we will cover all the main modes of transfer used in SSAH through examples and what academics might need to think about with their projects. \n\nConsultancy\nStartups and Social Enterprise\nFranchises\nServices\nPartnerships\nPolicy interventions\nPublic engagement\n\nThe target will be to inspire and broaden the horizons of the attendees by convincing them that they could look at their research in a different way. The key to the session is to not focus on intellectual property but to tell stories that will stick and are relevant to Galway’s academic research. This will then be followed by 20 minutes of questions

SUMMARY:School of Political Science and Sociology research seminar: “Moral obligation as a conclusive reason: On Bernard Williams’ critique of the morality system”
DESCRIPTION:The School of Political Science and Sociology invite you to a research seminar with  \nDr Allyn Fives (Discipline of Politics; Power\, Conflict\, and Ideologies research cluster)  \n“Moral obligation as a conclusive reason:   \n On Bernard Williams’ critique of the morality system”  \n  \nBernard Williams’ critique of the morality system\, as illustrated in his reading of Aeschylus’ Agamemnon\, is intended to show both that real moral conflicts can arise\, and that a moral obligation is merely one reason among others and can be defeated by the thick concepts of a shared ethical life. I want to advance two lines of argument. First\, when Williams argues that a moral obligation can be the locus of moral conflict\, a further step is required to explain why one should feel regret for not acting on a defeated reason. Second\, Williams presupposes that\, when a conflict is resolved\, the conclusive reason will be a thick concept\, but there is no compelling justification for that assumption. \nPlease note – the draft paper on which this talk is based is available HERE \nImage: ‘At the feet of Athena\, Greek warriors draw lots for the armour of Achilles’.

SUMMARY:Impact Workshop: “Be the Magpie” - postponed – a new date and further detail will be advised shortly
DESCRIPTION:postponed – a new date and further detail will be advised shortly \nCASSCS colleagues are warmly invited to attend a workshop on research impact by Dr Mark Mann (University of Oxford) \nWORSKHOP: “Be the Magpie” \nLimited to 15 places. Registration required – please email patrick.lonergan@universityofgalway.ie to participate \nIn order to successfully spot potential transfer projects\, staff and academics will be introduced\, through examples that they will work on\, to look for the following factors: \n\nSolving a problem:\n\no             Does the research output solve a problem for someone or something? \n\nExternal influence:\n\nO                             What are the factors that are outside the research group for which a research project might be relevant? This will include \n            University priorities \n            Funders and other key organisations \n            Local and National Government priorities \n            International Priorities \nWe will then look at the key elements that make a successful transfer possible. This will include: \n\nAcademic and university reputation\nExternal participants already being worked with\nValue created or that could be created in the future; intellectual property types and what to do with them.\nThe motivation of key people that will be needed to make things happen.\n\nAcademics will be invited to pair up with each other or with a research manager (depending on the balance of numbers) to look at their own research in turn to see where they fit in. To do this they will be introduced to a methodology\, KT3\, which is a framework which will enable to them to work out where the opportunity exists in a systematic way. \nThe session will be designed with fun at its core\, but also aims to provide as much practical knowledge to be taken away and applied as possible. The workshop will last 90 minutes. There will\, however\, be the option to either extend the workshop for a further 30 minutes\, or use those last 30 minutes to answer any further questions anyone may have. \nMARK MANN LIMITED \nMark Mann Limited and its sister company Mark Mann OÜ were founded in 2021 to provide strategic innovation services to technology transfer offices\, corporations and institutions across the UK and Europe wishing to expand and diversify their impact offering.

SUMMARY:University of Galway History Seminar: ‘How should I raise and care for my child?’  Early child health writing for a general audience in Europe (1850-1914)
DESCRIPTION:University of Galway History Research Seminar \n‘How should I raise and care for my child?’ Early child health writing for a general audience in Europe (1850-1914) \nDr Anna Gasperini (University of Galway)  \nAbstract\nThe period between mid-nineteenth and the early twentieth century saw the rise of childcare handbooks written for a general audience in Europe and North America. Still a popular genre after almost two centuries\, childcare manuals were usually penned by medical specialists to educate the public\, mostly mothers\, about how to ensure that a child survived their first years of life. These texts came in a range of formats: from booklets and pamphlets\, cheaper or sometimes even distributed for free\, containing few key-instructions on child nutrition and management; to expensive\, exquisitely decorated hardbacks\, covering a broad variety of topics. Sometimes they addressed the reader directly\, even simulating a conversation; sometimes they simply consisted of a list of instructions\, with little to no acknowledgment of the reader. \nWhy did such a genre start at this time\, and how? What do these texts tell us about cultural and social notions and hierarchies underpinning child health writing in the early days of pediatrics? What do they tell us about how pediatricians started talking about child health to a general audience? This talk addresses these questions based on the preliminary findings of the IRC Starting Laureate project MILC – MedIcal Literature and Communication about Child health (1850-1914). The talk examines a set of key-features of childcare handbooks in Italian\, French\, and English\, identifying transnational elements in the textual and discursive structure of the texts and highlighting the key-role literature played as the chosen medium for early conversations about childhood between pediatricians and the public. \nBiography\nDr Anna Gasperini holds an IRC Starting Laureate grant at University of Galway\, where she is Principal Investigator of MILC – MedIcal Literature and Communication about Child health (1850-1914)\, a comparative transnational study of childcare literature targeting the general public. From 2019 to 2021\, she was a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice\, Italy\, where she developed FED – Feeding\, Educating\, Dieting: A Transnational Approach to Nutrition Discourses in Children’s Narratives (Britain and Italy\, 1850-1900). She is the author of Nineteenth Century Popular Fiction\, Medicine\, and Anatomy – The Victorian Penny Blood and the 1832 Anatomy Act (Palgrave Macmillan\, 2019). \nRegistration\nThis is an in-person event\, in Room G010\, Hardiman Research Building\, University of Galway (ground floor). For those of you not able to attend in person\, the talk will also be streamed on Zoom: https://universityofgalway-ie.zoom.us/j/98396342366. \nTo attend via Zoom\, please register at: https://forms.office.com/e/08f42zgsmu \nThis talk is part of the University of Galway History Seminar series and organised jointly with the Centre for the Study of Religion at the Moore Institute.
