It will use this corpus to identify key representative and influential texts for social network analysis\, generate visualisations of networks and their development\, apply intersectional (gender\, class\, ethnicity) analysis to network components\, and engage in intensive critical analysis. The objective of the project is to compare gender\, genre and the nationality of the author (or setting) in shaping social networks in fiction. Do the social networks mapped out by cumulative interactions between characters in Irish and English fiction differ from one another? Do the social networks represented in fiction differ substantially on the basis of genre or gender? How does this change across the time period? The historical range offers the opportunity for a longitudinal\, transhistorical analysis which can identify consistencies and changes. The aim of the project is not to substitute a quantitative\, computational approach for a critical and interpretative one\, but to explore ways in which these two approaches can be reconciled. This combination of digital and critical methodologies also offers a realistic and judicious way to reconcile the demands of a radically extended canon of fiction\, with its diversity of voices\, genres and perspectives\, and intense textual engagement. This paper will outline initial findings using Pride and Prejudice and Phineas Finn as examples. \nGerardine Meaney is Professor of Cultural Theory\, Director of the UCD Humanities Institute and PI of Nation\, Gender\, Genre. Recent publications include Reading the Irish Woman: Cultural Encounter and Exchange\, 1714-1960\, with Bernadette Whelan and Mary O’Dowd (2013)\, Gender\, Ireland and Cultural Change (2010) and an iPad app of James Joyce’s short story ‘The Dead’ (2014). \nSeminars are open to all and conclude with discussion over lunch \nFor further informatition\, contact: Dr PÌÁdraic Moran (padraic.moran@nuigalway.ie)\, \nor Dr Justitin Tonra (justitin.tonra@nuigalway.ie) \nwww.nuigalway.ie/digital-seminar ‰ۢ www.facebook.com/nuigdss URL:https://mooreinstitute.ie/event/digital-scholarship-seminargerardine-meaney-university-college-dublin-a-comparative-social-network-analysis-of-irish-and-english-fiction-1800-1922/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20151109T200000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20151109T200000 DTSTAMP:20260404T002946 CREATED:20160824T134659Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160824T134659Z UID:2061-1447099200-1447099200@mooreinstitute.ie SUMMARY:Dr BrÌ_d McGrath - Managing the Windsor of Ireland: Galway's Town Council From 1603-1653 DESCRIPTION:Dr BrÌ_d McGrath \nManaging the Windsor of Ireland: Galway’s Town Council From 1603-1653 \nMonday\, 9 November at 8pm \nHarbour Hotel\, Dock Road\, Galway \nDr. McGrath’s talk explores one of Galway’s most outstanding treasures\, the ‰Û÷Liber A’ manuscript\, preserved in the James Hardiman Library at NUI Galway \nThe lecture\, sponsored by the Galway Archaeological and Historical Society\, is based on Dr. McGrath’s research as a Moore Institute Visiting Fellow. \nIn this public talk\, Dr. McGrath will describe the membership of Galway’s town council and the people who controlled and managed the city in the first half of the 17th century.

Although this law no longer stands\, it reflects the widespread prejudice against the LGBTI community in Uganda; it is within this climate that Sandra works. The organisation she works with\, the National LGBTI Security Committee\, is a safety and protection body in Uganda that deals with emergencies of sexual minorities. They provide a hotline service for LGBTI community members and track and monitor abuses motivated by prejudice against the community. The political and social climate for human rights defenders\, particularly for those working for LGBTI rights\, is dangerous\, with hostility from both the government and society. Although fearful of the dangers and prejudices she faces daily\, Sandra continues her work and recognizes its importance in this increasingly difficult environment. \nSandra’s talk will touch upon a short history of Ugandan politics and society\, the general situation for human rights defenders in Uganda and the situation for LGBTI rights defenders in Uganda. Finally\, she will talk about her personal story\, as how governmental and societal issues affect her life and work. \nAll are welcome! \nFor more information please contact t.ananthavinayagan1@nuigalway.ie URL:https://mooreinstitute.ie/event/human-rights-lunchtime-seminar-series-lgbti-rights-in-uganda-the-state-of-human-rights-defenders-in-peril-by-sandra-namutebi-human-rights-defender-from-uganda/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20151106T173000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20151106T173000 DTSTAMP:20260404T002946 CREATED:20160824T134659Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160824T134659Z UID:2059-1446831000-1446831000@mooreinstitute.ie SUMMARY:Book Launch: Engendering Ireland : New Reflections on Modern History and Literature DESCRIPTION:Engendering Ireland\nNew Reflections on Modern History and Literature\nEditor(s):Rebecca Anne Barr\, Sarah-Anne Buckley\, Laura Kelly \nContributors: Laura Mernie Pomeroy\, Katharina Walter\, Eleanor O’Leary\, Myrtle Hill\, Declan O’Keeffe\, Marion Krauthaker\, Evelyn Glynn\, Mary Muldowney\, Claire McGing\, Charlotte McIvor; \nBook Description\nEngendering Ireland is a collection of ten essays showcasing the importance of gender in a variety of disciplines. These essays interrogate gender as a concept which encompasses both masculinity and femininity\, and which permeates history and literature\, culture and society in the modern period. The collection includes historical research which situates Irish women workers within an international economic context; textual analysis which sheds light on the effects of modernity on the home and rising female expectations in the post-war era; the rediscovery of significant Irish women modernists such as Mary Devenport O’Neill; and changing representations of masculinity\, race\, ethnicity and interculturalism in modern Irish theatre. Each of these ten essays provides a thought-provoking picture of the complex and hitherto unrecognised roles gender has played in Ireland over the last century. While each of these chapters offers a fresh perspective on familiar themes in Irish gender studies\, they also illustrate the importance and relevance of gender studies to contemporary debates in Irish society. \nFor more information please contact sarahanne.buckley@nuigalway.ie URL:https://mooreinstitute.ie/event/book-launch-engendering-ireland-new-reflections-on-modern-history-and-literature/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20151106T120000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20151106T120000 DTSTAMP:20260404T002946 CREATED:20160824T134656Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160824T134656Z UID:2016-1446811200-1446811200@mooreinstitute.ie SUMMARY:CAMPS Labs: Prof. John Waddell (Archaeology\, NUIG) 'Medieval Windows on a Pagan Past' DESCRIPTION:Prof. John Waddell (Archaeology\, NUIG) \n ‘Medieval Windows on a Pagan Past’ \nFollowed by discussion & light lunch\nEveryone welcome – FÌÁilte roimh chÌÁch\nFor more information please contact mairin.nidhonnchadha@nuigalway.ie URL:https://mooreinstitute.ie/event/camps-labs-prof-john-waddell-archaeology-nuig-medieval-windows-on-a-pagan-past/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20151105T140000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20151105T140000 DTSTAMP:20260404T002946 CREATED:20160824T134655Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160824T134655Z UID:1994-1446732000-1446732000@mooreinstitute.ie SUMMARY:Journalism guest speaker series: Sally Galiana\, President AMARC Europe DESCRIPTION:Journalism Guest Speaker Series\nSally Galiana\, President AMARC Europe.\nAMARC is the international organisation for community radio.

This group was mainly active between 1641 and 1661\, and included well-known figures such as Robert Boyle\, Henry Oldenburg\, and Benjamin Worsley. However\, the network also had female members\, such as Lady Ranelagh\, and Dorothy Moore – and these women will be the focus of this talk. Through an extensive analysis of the Hartlib database this talk will introduce these women’s involvement in this network\, focusing on their participation in religious and scientific activities. Then\, using social network analysis\, this talk will interrogate the importance of these women’s involvement\, questioning whether they were important to the way information flowed through this network\, and whether their position in the network granted them influence over other members. \nConnect with DSS: Website | Facebook | Mailing list \nSeminars are open to all and conclude with discussion over lunch \nFor further informatition\, contact: Dr PÌÁdraic Moran (padraic.moran@nuigalway.ie)\, \nor Dr Justitin Tonra (justitin.tonra@nuigalway.ie) URL:https://mooreinstitute.ie/event/digital-scholarship-seminar-evan-bourke-nui-galway-female-involvement-membership-and-centrality-a-social-network-analysis-of-the-hartlib-circle/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20151103T160000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20151103T160000 DTSTAMP:20260404T002946 CREATED:20160824T134659Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160824T134659Z UID:2056-1446566400-1446566400@mooreinstitute.ie SUMMARY:Archaeology research seminar series: Yolande O'Brien DESCRIPTION:Archaeology research seminar series:\n \nYolande O’Brien – doctoral candidate in Archaeology \nAll welcome! \n\nfor more information please contact maggie.ronayne@nuigalway.ie URL:https://mooreinstitute.ie/event/archaeology-research-seminar-series-yolande-obrien/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20151102T180000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20151102T180000 DTSTAMP:20260404T002946 CREATED:20160824T134659Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160824T134659Z UID:2057-1446487200-1446487200@mooreinstitute.ie SUMMARY:Performance Matters - Irish Theatre Discussion Group DESCRIPTION:Performance Matters\nIrish Theatre Discussion Group\nhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/PerformanceMatters/ \nFor more information please contact n.barre8@nuigalway.ie \nAll theatre practitioners\, theorists and students are welcome to attend URL:https://mooreinstitute.ie/event/performance-matters-irish-theatre-discussion-group-10/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20151102T180000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20151102T180000 DTSTAMP:20260404T002946 CREATED:20160824T134659Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160824T134659Z UID:2058-1446487200-1446487200@mooreinstitute.ie SUMMARY:The Rory Kavanagh Bursary DESCRIPTION:THE RORY KAVANAGH BURSARY\nThe Bursary has been made possible by a generous donation from the family of the late Rory Kavanagh (1971-1996)\, a 1993 B.A. graduate of National University of Ireland\, Galway.
