Abstract: This presentation introduces ‰Û÷1916: Home: 2016′ a national and international programme
of multi-disciplinary research and creative arts projects. ‰Û÷1916: Home: 2016′ focuses on two key

Magdalene Laundry. By grouping events together in time in October 2016 throughout the island of
Ireland and internationally (with events also taking place in Canada, the UK, the United States, and
Brazil), ‰Û÷1916: Home: 2016′ will create spaces to reflect on a spectrum of stories that expose hidden
lives and narratives, both in Ireland and elsewhere, from 1916 to 2016 and beyond.

Human Rights in ASEAN in times of democracy drawbacks by Dr.Sriprapha Petcharamesree (Institute of Human Rights and Peace Studies, Mahidol University)
2015-10-06 13:00
Lunchtime Seminar Series:
Human Rights in ASEAN in times of democracy drawbacks
Tuesday, 6th of October 2015, from 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm, Seminar Room, Irish Centre for Human Rights
by Dr.Sriprapha Petcharamesree (Institute of Human Rights and Peace Studies, Mahidol University).
Dr.Sriprapha Petcharamesree is currently a full time faculty member at the IHRP, Mahidol University. She is also chairing the SHAPE-SEA Program (Strengthening Human Rights and Peace Research and Education in Southeast Asia) which is very much needed. She has served as the Thai Representative to the ASEAN Intergovernmental Commission on Human Rights between 2009-2012. She is one of a very few scholars studying and advocating for better promotion and protection of human rights in ASEAN.
ASEAN is moving towards an ASEAN Community by the end of 2015. Not only the integration poses many challenges for ASEAN peoples but the national politics in ASEAN Member States are going through a rather volatile situation ranging from the uncertainty of elections in Myanmar in November 2015 to frequent protestations against ruling parties in Malaysia and military regime in Thailand as well as restrictions of freedoms in other ASEAN members. The “democracy drawbacks” or “democratic recession” in ASEAN has serious impacts on the human rights of ASEAN people.
Dr.Sriprapha will share her experiences and insights on human rights in ASEAN and analyse how, if at all, the existing ASEAN human rights regime could deal with the political challenges and human rights violations in the region.
All are welcome!

Book Launch: Steven G.Ellis Defending English Ground War & Peace in Meath & Northumberland, 1460-1542 (Oxford University Press, 2015)
2015-09-30 17:00 | Seminar Room G011 the Hardiman Reserach Building, Ireland
Steven G.Ellis Defending English Ground War & Peace in Meath & Northumberland, 1460-1542 (Oxford University Press, 2015)
A key duty of the Renaissance monarchy was the defence of its subjects. For the English monarchy, the subject’s rule and defence from enemies beyond the long-landed frontiers in Ireland and the English far-north proved an intractable problem. It was not, however, a duty which was accorded a high priority by successsive Yorkist and early Tudor kings, not is it an aspect of state formation which has attracted much attention from modern historians. This
study assesses traditional arrangements for defending English ground, the impact of the frontier on border society, and the way in which the topography and patterns of settlement in border regions shaped the character of the march and border itself.
Defending English Ground focuses on two English shires, Meath and Northumberland, in a period during which the ruling magnates of these shires who had hitherto supervised border rule and defence were mostly unavailable to the crown. Unwilling to foot the cost of large garrisons and extended fortifications, successive kings increasingly shifted the costs of defence onto the local population, prompting the border gentry and minor peers to organize themselves through county communities for the rule and defence of the region. This strategy was generally successful in Ireland where the military threat presented by ‘the wild Irish’ was not so formidable, but in the English far-north Tudor reform, centralized control, and the burden of defence against the Scots soon led to ‘the decay of the borders’.
