Diversity in Initial Teacher Education and Teaching
Diversity in Initial Teacher Education, and in Teaching, featuring two presentations:
The Cultural Diversification of the Teaching Profession: How Effective is it?
Prof. Ninetta Santoro, Strathclyde University,Glasgow,Scotland
http://www.strath.ac.uk/humanities/courses/education/staff/santoroninettaprofessor/
Diversity in Initial Teacher Education (DITE) in Ireland: A Rationale and Initial Analysis.
Dr. Elaine Keane, Dr. Manuela Heinz, and Dr. Conor Foley, School of Education, NUI Galway
http://www.nuigalway.ie/education/research/dite/dite.html
The event will be officially opened by Prof. Chris Curtin, Vice-President for Innovation and Performance,NUI Galway and seminar attendees will be welcomed by Dr. Mary Fleming, Head, School of Education.
1. The Cultural Diversification of the Teaching Profession: How Effective Is It?
Teaching and educating for social justice features strongly in how many teachers envision the purpose oftheir work. However, despite the best of teacher intentions, some culturally diverse groups of pupils aredisadvantaged by, and within schooling systems that fail to address their needs. Black students, immigrantsand refugees are often marginalised by ineffective education practices and thus, denied access to the socialand material resources that facilitate their full participation in society. One way of addressing this problem inmany places in the world has been to diversify the teaching profession so that it is more representative of thecultural makeup of the student population. Such a strategy is based on assumptions that teachers who are ofethnic and racial minority are well placed to act as role models for minority students, will understandstudents’ cultural practices and beliefs and how they shape them as learners, and will contribute diversecultural perspectives to school curricula. Drawing on research I have conducted over a 10 year period, as wellas the work of key scholars in the field, I suggest that the diversification of the profession is potentiallycounterproductive unless teachers drawn from the dominant cultural ‘mainstream’ work in partnership withtheir culturally and ethnically diverse colleagues to address practices that sustain inequality and injusticewithin education. This requires all teachers to be culturally responsive and critically aware practitioners. Iconclude by arguing the need for a critical teacher education, that is, teacher education that developsteachers’ critical awareness about how relations of power and historical and socio-political discoursesconstruct ‘difference’, education, teachers and teaching.
2. Diversity in Initial Teacher Education (DITE) in Ireland: A Rationale and Initial Analysis
The DITE team will present on their national Irish Research Council-funded research project, Diversity inInitial Teacher Education (DITE) in Ireland, which explores the socio-demographic profile, diversityexperiences and career motivations of both applicants and entrants to initial teacher education programmesin Ireland. In our presentation, we examine the rationale for and design of the project, along with initialfindings from the first implementation of the online questionnaire. In addition, we consider the secondimplementation of the questionnaire, and outline our next steps in the project.

Gender ARC lunchtime seminar series: The Rhetoric and the Reality of being a Female Accountant in Ireland: Exploring Gender Barriers
2014-10-22 13:00
Gender ARC and Global Women’s Studies
at NUI Galway are pleased to invite you to a lunchtime seminar:
The Rhetoric and the Reality of being a Female Accountant in Ireland: Exploring Gender Barriers
Dr. Antoinette Flynn, Department of Accounting and Finance, Kemmy Business School, University of Limerick.
Abstract: This study is set in the context of a steady rise in the total proportion of female members across the six chartered accountancy bodies worldwide. Little is known about the career progression experiences of these new female accountants, or of their aspirations for senior management positions. This study investigates the perceptions of both male and female accountants on a range of previously identified gender progression barriers. We find evidence of a divergence between the perception and the reality of the lived-experience of female accountants, across the gender divide. It is clear that rather than address corporate cultural barriers the rhetoric of being a female accountant does not meet the reality. These findings contribute to the existing Irish accounting gender research and augment the female management and career development literature.

Professor Jonathan Wolff, as part of the President of Ireland's Ethics Initiative will deliver a public lecture on 'Social Equality and Poverty'
2014-10-10 16:00
The discipline of Philosophy is delighted to welcome Professor Jonathan Wolff to NUI, Galway, as part of the President of
Ireland’s Ethics Initiative. He will deliver a public lecture on ‘Social Equality and Poverty’, to which you are warmly invited.
Date: Friday 10th October, 2014.
Time: 4pm.
Venue: Aula Maxima Lower.
Title: ‘Social Equality and Poverty’.
A note about the Lecture:
A society of equals is a society that avoids a range of destructive asymmetrical social relations, including domination, exploitation, snobbery, servility and social exclusion. But how, in the highly unequal societies in which we live, can we begin to make progress on eliminating social inequality? This talk explores how thinking about relative poverty can help illuminate one highly important aspect of social inequality: social exclusion. At the same time reflecting on relative poverty, and the steps people take to overcome it, can help us to understand some of the considerable structural obstacles that stand in the way of achieving a society of equals.
A note about Professor Jonathan Wolff:
Jonathan Wolff is Professor of Philosophy and Dean of Arts and Humanities at University College London. He is the author of several books on political philosophy, including Disadvantage (with Avner de-Shalit) 2007, Ethics and Public Policy 2011, and The Human Right to Health. He has been a member of the Nuffield Council on Bioethics, the Gambling Review Body, and the Board of Science of the British Medical Association. He writes a regular column on higher education for the Guardian.
We look forward to seeing you there on Friday 10th
