SUMMARY:Modernist Studies Ireland  Works in Progress
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \nTom Walker\, Trinity College Dublin \nW.B. Yeats\, Scholastic Aestheticism\, and Cultural Authority in Late Nineteenth-Century Ireland \nChris Collins\, University of Nottingham \n‘The man went queer in his head’: Synge and the cultural politics of mental health\, 1871-1909 \nRefreshments will be served! \n[NB UPDATE: change of 2nd speaker & venue]\nJoin us for exiting talks by two current Moore Institute Visiting Fellows. Part of MSI’s Works in Progress series\, these talks come ahead of the inaugural MODERNIST STUDIES IRELAND conference Fri 17 Sat 18 May 2019 in the Hardiman Research Building. Full programme to follow. https://modstudiesireland.wordpress.com/ \nDr Tom Walker is Ussher Assistant Professor in Irish Writing at Trinity College Dublin. \nDr Walker’s monograph Louis MacNeice and the Irish Poetry of his Time was published 2015 by Oxford University Press. This drew on extensive archival research on both sides of the Irish Sea and the Atlantic to illuminate MacNeice’s considerable contact with Irish literary networks and with contemporaneous Irish poetry. It was awarded the 2015 Robert Rhodes Prize for Books on Literature by the American Conference for Irish Studies. Other publications include research on the work of John McGahern\, the place of the literary within Northern Irish writing\, the radio poetry of Richard Murphy\, and Irish-British poetic relations at mid-century. He has also recently co-edited a special issue of the journal Modernist Cultures on ‘Collaborative Poetics’. \nHis current research project is provisionally entitled ‘Yeats and the Writing of Art’. It examines the work of W.B. Yeats through the prism of nineteenth and twentieth-century art writing – encompassing the many textual forms through which art spectatorship and writing were combined during the period\, ranging from aesthetic philosophy to art history to exhibition reviews to ekphrastic poems. The project was supported by an Irish Research Council New Horizons Research Project Grant. \nDr Chris Collins is Assistant Professor of Drama at the University of Nottingham.  \nDr Collins has published widely on Irish theatre\, including two monographs on the work of Irish writer\, J.M. Synge (Theatre and Residual Culture [Palgrave: 2016]\, and J.M. Synge’s The Playboy of the Western World [Routledge: 2016]). He is currently writing his third book entitled J.M. Synge and The Time of His Life\, which considers how Synge’s writings offer an alternative social history of Ireland during the playwright’s lifetime. Synge witnessed and wrote about profound changes to Irish society and culture during his short lifetime: 1871-1909. This was a Victorian age of progress\, and everything needed to be clocked: from the time it took the Galway train to travel to Dublin\, to those cultures of the empire that had supposedly failed to evolve. Synge had a keen interest in how progress should be measured\, and his plays and prose offer unique perspectives on the measurement of time and the modernisation of Irish society. Synge’s fascination with time also had a particular personal appeal. As early as 1899 Synge knew he was dying young. Immediately thereafter he set about travelling Ireland\, writing prose\, verse and plays about spaces and places that were rapidly changing in front of his eyes. A mixture of biography\, social history and critical analysis of his plays and prose\, the significance of this project is that it will explore how Synge staged and wrote about linear and non-linear time in the Ireland of his time\, both as a reflection on modernisation and as a coping mechanism for the finiteness of time in his personal life. \nChris will be using his time at the Moore Institute to consult the digital archives of Synge’s diaries\, journals and notebooks\, as well as Abbey Theatre and Druid Theatre digital archives. \nNB Dr Antonio Bibbò of the Unversity of Manchester\, originally advertised as speaker\, has kindly agreed to give a talk later in the academic year. He is currently completing a monograph titled Reception and Perception of Irish Culture in Early Twentieth-Century Italy: Imagining Ireland in Italy. During his time at the Moore Institute\, Dr Bibbò intends to investigate understudied aspects of the literary relationship between Italy and Ireland at the beginning of the twentieth century. \n

SUMMARY:Gaelic Games on Film: From silent films to Hollywood hurling\, horror and the emergence of Irish cinema-by Seán Crosson
DESCRIPTION:Introduced by Professor Philip Dine \nAll welcome \n \nThis study provides the first major monograph examination of filmic representations of Gaelic games\, charting these representations from the earliest years of the twentieth century\, including silent films such as Knocknagow (1918) to more recent productions Michael Collins (1996) and The Wind that Shakes the Barley (2006). Among the areas examined are newsreel depictions of Gaelic games; Hollywood’s fascination with hurling in the mid-20th century (including in the work of Oscar-winning director John Ford)\, which led to a range of productions featuring the sport culminating with the Oscar-nominated short Three Kisses (Paramount\, 1955); the importance of the depictions of Gaelic games to the emergence of a distinctive Irish film culture post WWII; and the role of Gaelic games in contemporary cinema. \nSeán Crosson is Co-Director of the MA (Sports Journalism and Communication) and Director of Graduate Research and Teaching in the Huston School of Film & Digital Media\, National University of Ireland Galway. His previous publications include Sport and Film (Routledge\, 2013) and (as co-editor) Sport\, Representation and Evolving Identities in Europe (Peter Lang\, 2010). \n

SUMMARY:GREEN THINKING: HOW 20TH CENTURY BRITISH ENVIRONMENTAL LITERATURE SHAPES THE STORY OF CLIMATE CHANGE
DESCRIPTION:The Gender ARC (Gender\, Discourse and Identity) at the Moore Institute presents \nDR KELLY SULTZBACH\, UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN\, LA CROSSE \nUS Fulbright Scholar through the Fulbright Inter-country Program \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nThis talk considers how the experience of a muddy\, apocalyptic war and the metroland octopus of suburban development influenced the pastoral imagination of environmental writing between the wars. It addresses popular literature and nature writing\, much of it penned by veterans of the First World War\, including Edmund Blunden\, J.B. Priestly\, and R.C. Sherriff.  Their stories raise messy questions about rural nostalgia\, preservation and prejudice\, as well as the fickleness of human nature when confronted with choices about our own consumerist desires and what is best for a thriving countryside.  These stories are less engaged with the progressive posthumanism of contemporary scholarship; instead\, they illuminate some of the more contested social struggles of 21st century climate change:  What kinds of narratives motivate people to support environmental agendas?  Are the reasons most of us love and cherish nature compatible with preserving it?  How do we create stories that don’t just speak to fellow activists\, but subtly\, compellingly\, begin to listen to and cultivate wider fields of green public thinking?  Using examples from both my published work and new research\, this talk will explore the continued relevance of environmental modernism to a 21st century Anthropocene awareness.

SUMMARY:Cultural Climates - Public Seminar -  'Fostering Art for Sustainability - Time for a New Cultural Policy?'
DESCRIPTION:   Iain Biggs\, Flight/Paths: (Her bones…) 2018.  \nCultural Climates is a two-part lecture and public forum which explores how research and policy in relation to climate change can be engaged with across the cultural and arts sectors in Ireland today. In particular\, it explores how culture and the arts are key to addressing issues associated with the climate emergency\, and how the arts and sustainability sectors need to be more integrated in their approach to addressing social\, political and environmental challenges in the Age of the Capitalocene. The presentations from Dr Iain Biggs and Dr Cathy Fitzgerald will be followed by a public forum and discussion on what role the arts and cultural sectors can\, and need to\, play in addressing the issues of ecological crisis in this a time of climate emergency. \nCultural Climates: This public seminar emerges from research\, teaching and public engagement events in the areas of Irish Studies\, Art\, Geography and socially-engaged research developed between Dr Nessa Cronin at NUI Galway and Professor Karen E. Till and Professor Gerry Kearns at Maynooth University since 2012. \nSupported by the Centre for Irish Studies\, Moore Institute\, and the Research Support Scheme\, CASSCS\, NUI Galway\, 2018-19 and the Irish Research Council’s Creative Connections Scheme.

SUMMARY:NUIG Classics book launch De origine scoticae linguae\, a new edition by Pádraic Moran of a seventh-century Irish scholarly text on the origins of the Irish language.
DESCRIPTION:To be launched by Prof. Dáibhí Ó Cróinín. \nAll welcome. (Refreshments will be served.) \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nDe Origine Scoticae Linguae (O’Mulconry’s Glossary): An early Irish linguistic tract\, edited with a related glossary\, Irsan\, Corpus Christianorum\, Lexica Latina Medii Aevi 7 (Turnhout\, Brepols: 2019) \nA new edition of the earliest etymological study of a European vernacular language. \nDe Origine Scoticae Linguae (also known as O’Mulconry’s Glossary) is a text originating in seventh-century Ireland that provides etymologies for c. 880 Irish words\, mostly drawn from Latin\, Greek\, and Hebrew. Its Latin prologue declares its affiliation to the Graeco-Roman linguistic tradition\, claiming an origin for the Irish language in the Greek dialects Attic\, Doric and Aeolic. The glossary attests to the transmission and reception of the Latin grammatical tradition in Ireland and shines light in particular on the Irish knowledge of Greek and Hebrew. The text also represents a milestone in the history of European linguistics\, as the earliest etymological study of a European vernacular language. \nThe glossary was published once before\, by Whitley Stokes in 1898. This new edition provides the first translation and textual commentary\, clarifying the sense of difficult entries and discussing sources. The introduction analyses the structure and contents\, origins and development\, linguistic issues\, and relationships to other texts. The text is edited here along with a shorter related glossary of 232 entries\, entitled Irsan\, which includes shared material and sheds further light on its development.

SUMMARY:Psychology Matters Day :The Psychology of Brexit -Prof. Brian Hughes
DESCRIPTION:  \nUnlike most cultural upheavals\, Brexit is not the result of accidental tragedy or spontaneous economic turmoil. Rather\, Brexit was contrived by politicians\, was voted for by citizens\, and is now being implemented by bureaucrats. Brexit did not ‘just happen’; it exists because people decided to make it exist. It is therefore hugely influenced by a myriad of psychological factors as experienced across many social groups. Brexit is the combined reflection of a multitude of perceptions\, preferences\, choices\, self-images\, attitudes\, ideas\, assumptions\, and reasoned (or ill-reasoned) conclusions. \nThis lecture will examine the Psychology of Brexit. We will look at the psychological factors that influenced the dawn of Brexit\, such as optimism biases\, causal attribution errors\, and illusions of control. We will consider how cognitive dissonance\, social stereotypes\, and motivated irrationality help otherwise groundless beliefs to thrive in everyday culture\, leading to group polarisation\, rejectionism\, and echo-chamber reasoning. We will see how individual political figures become associated with ideas\, and how cultural biases (such as sexism) shape how politicians are portrayed and perceived. And we will consider the psychological impact of Brexit: its effect on social attitudes\, future thinking\, and collective and individual mental health. \nWe will conclude by examining how Ireland views Brexit. Are we Irish capable of an objective assessment of the Brexit project? Are we aware of our own biases when seeking to summarise its progress? And does Brexit help focus Irish minds on positive ideas such as collaborative problem-solving — or does it provoke unhealthy social attitudes such as nationalistic self-regard\, delusional optimism\, and passive coping? \nAs with its origins and progress\, the future impact of Brexit will be shaped by its psychological aspects. This lecture will show how psychology research can shed light on events such as Brexit and position us best to learn from them. \nSpeaker \nBrian Hughes is a Professor of Psychology at NUI Galway. He is a Fellow and former President of the Psychological Society of Ireland. A prolific researcher in the field of mental stress and health\, Brian is a prominent advocate for scientific psychology\, evidence-based policy\, scientific outreach and the role of psychology in society. His latest book is Psychology in Crisis (London: Palgrave\, 2018). \nSee https://www.psychologicalsociety.ie/event/Psychology-of-Brexit-with-Prof-Brian-Hughes

SUMMARY:Modernist Legacies and Futures:
DESCRIPTION:  \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nModernist Studies Ireland   \nNational University of Ireland Galway \nPlenary Speaker: Dr Ben Levitas\, Goldsmiths University of London \nOpening address: Prof Daniel Carey  \nThe inaugural conference of Modernist Studies Ireland\, ‘Modernist Legacies and Futures’ seeks to bring together Irish and international scholars to initiate an exchange and review of current research\, trends\, and findings in modernist studies. \nWe ask scholars to consider how modernists created or negated the future in their work? Did modernist artists conceive of the future as a prerequisite of the work itself and\, if so\, how did they attempt to secure their legacy? What does the digital landscape achieve for modernism studies? What future does modernist studies have? If modernism was a radical attempt to reshape culture and art did it succeed and how can we as scholars perpetuate this radicalism? Do current attempts to democratise the study of literature and unsettle canonicity impact future research? What modernisms are missing from the field of modernist study? What does modernism mean to minority languages\, cultures\, and to a \nnon-western canon? \n  \nModernist Studies Ireland (MSI) is a new organisation that aims to facilitate the sharing of interests\, research\, and pedagogical approaches to modernism and modernity in the Republic and Northern Ireland. We very much welcome new members to helps us shape the goals and initiatives of MSI. Our current activities include a monthly Works in Progress seminar series. \nFurther information about the organisation\, our monthly events and the full CFP can be found here:  https://modstudiesireland.wordpress.com \nThe conference is sponsored by the Moore Institute and the Explore Fund. \n

SUMMARY:Geopolitics and Justice Cluster Seminar-'Technology as a Geographical Keyword'
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nby Prof. Scott Kirsch \nUniversity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill \n Abstract \nWhile for centuries technology referred to a systematic study of the ‘practical arts’ – typically in the form of a book or technical manual – the term’s usage has expanded so dramatically that today we think nothing of the same word being used to describe a set of methods\, a specific piece of machinery\, or the totality of our collective means and capabilities. From a textbook to an ethnological category\, and from mechanical objects to infrastructural networks and large technological systems\, historical geographers\, in turn\, have been left to explain the world technology has “made.” Through a materialist keyword approach to the career of technology\, this paper raises questions about what it means to think of things\, processes\, and relations as technological\, and explores the implications of the idea of technology – understood in terms of its integrative\, meaning-making\, cultural work – for the histories and geographies that we produce. \nBio\nScott Kirsch (kirsch@email.unc.edu) is Professor of Geography at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. His research interests include the politics and culture of technology; nuclear landscapes; 19th- and 20th-century US science; history of scientific exploration and cartography; US geopolitics and empire\, especially in the Philippines and Asia/Pacific; and geographies of war and peace. He is author of Proving Grounds: Project Plowshare and the Unrealized Dream of Nuclear Earthmoving (Rutgers University Press\, 2005) and editor (with Colin Flint) of Reconstructing Conflict: Integrating War and Post-War Geographies (Routledge 2011). He is currently writing a book about America’s “insular empire” in the Philippines.

SUMMARY:Print Culture and the Galway Poor Clares\, 1600-1800
DESCRIPTION:A talk by Moore Visiting Fellow Jaime Goodrich \nAbstract:  This talk will offer an introduction to the rare books owned by the Galway Poor Clares\, who recently reacquired several dozen volumes lent to the Franciscan House of Studies in Killiney during the 1970s.  In addition to providing an overview of the current collection’s scope and history\, I will discuss evidence of book circulation and ownership among the Galway nuns.  Finally\, I will consider the broader significance of this collection for scholars working on early modern print history.  As a particularly rich corpus of early modern Franciscan texts\, the rare books of the Galway Poor Clares should become a key resource for historians and literary scholars interested in monastic libraries\, convent reading practices\, and Franciscan spirituality during the 17th century.

SUMMARY:Riddling Discourse and Construction of Knowledge in Ancient Greek Literature and Early Irish Saga: The Case of Ogam
DESCRIPTION:  \nDr Federica Scicolone (King’s College London) Moore Visiting Fellow 2019 \nThis talk will consider a widespread motif in archaic Greek poetry\, the so-called ‘contest of wisdom’ between wise men\, usually bards or poets (e.g. Calchas and Mopsus in fr. 278 M-W; the Certamen Homeri et Hesiodi)\, in relation to the Hellenistic and later practice of ‘riddle’ funerary epigrams\, from both literary and inscriptional contexts (AP 7.422 and 429; SGO 09/05/17): here the passer-by is challenged by the deceased to decode the symbols carved on the tombstone\, and the resolution of the riddle depends entirely on the passer’s-by insight and sophia. The selected case studies will be compared with few references to Ogam enigmatic inscriptions in early Irish saga (e.g. the Táin\, 220ff.; Tochmarc Étaíne §18; Sanas Cormaic §1018) in order to observe that\, similarly as in the examined Greek texts\, the use of Ogam in literary contexts may serve the purpose of testing the interlocutors (and\, through them\, the readers) and of initiating them into wisdom by means of riddling discourse.

SUMMARY:''Cultural Renaissance and Anti Colonialism in India and Ireland''
DESCRIPTION:Talk By Dr Jyoti Atwal Moore Visiting Fellow 2019 \n  \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nAtwal suggests that India and Ireland were both trying to identify symbols to create a national ideal in late nineteenth century. Theatre and music provided a fertile ground for this purpose. Through the Dublin life of James Cousins\, W.B Yeats\, Lady Gregory and Synge; and through exploration of early years of Abbey Theatre and Irish National Theatre Society\, she plans to capture this synergy. The leaders of the Abbey Theatre also embodied vegetarianism and occult. There were regular readings of the Hindu text ‘Bhagawat Gita’ in Dublin circles and promotion of vegetarian restaurants. There has been no study to look at these interactions as potential arenas of forging nationalisms through esoteric universalism and anti-colonial politics.\nShe shall be focusing on the poet and play writerJames Cousins\, who was married to Margaret Elizabeth Cousins (co-founder of the Irish Women’s Franchise League). They both moved to India in 1915 at the invitation of the Theosophist or a humanitarian worker or an anti coloniafl activist in India. Both were fiercelycommitted to voting rights campaign for women and other forms of public service; and most significantly they joined in the Gandhian challenge to colonialism after 1920s. The couple stayed in Dublin from 1902 till 1915 and actively participated in several sessions of occult and planchette writing with Yeats and his group. The politics of women’s voting rights (intertwined with British suffragettes) and anti-colonialism were the two main political agendas of the couple. \n

SUMMARY:A Foucauldian-Feminist Approach to Countering Sexual Violence and Sexual Humiliation by  Prof. Dianna Taylor
DESCRIPTION:Abstract \nHumiliation is a definitive but\, within the discipline of philosophy\, under-theorized harm of sexual violence against women. This talk draws upon the late work of Michel Foucault in order to provide an account of sexual humiliation resulting from sexual violence\, as well as to posit ways in which sexual violence and sexual humiliation might be effectively countered. Given that sexual humiliation manifests within the relation of self-to-self\, such countering calls for creation of new and subversive modes of self-relation.  The talk provides insight into what these alternative\, counter-humiliating modes of self-relation might look like by analyzing specific instances of verbal and embodied feminist anti-sexual violence protest. \nSpeaker Biography  \nDianna Taylor is Professor of Philosophy at John Carroll University in Cleveland\, Ohio\, USA. She has co-edited two volumes of essays\, Feminism and the Final Foucault (University of Illinois Press\, 2004) and Feminist Politics: Identity\, Difference\, Agency (Rowman and Littlefield\, 2007)\, and is editor of Michel Foucault: Key Concepts (Acumen Publishers\, 2010). Her book\, Sexual Violence and Humiliation: A Foucauldian-Feminist Perspective\, is forthcoming with Routledge.

SUMMARY:'The New Mythological Image of Ovidian Myrrha in William Barksted’s Myrrha\, The Mother of Adonis: Or\, Lustes Prodigies (1607)'
DESCRIPTION:  \nThis talk will be given by Moore Visiting Fellow Dr Agnès Lafont (University Paul Valery – Montpellier 3\, France) \nAbstract: William Barksted in Myrrha\, The Mother of Adonis: Or\, Lustes Prodigie (1607) uses  the classical story of Myrrha (Ovid\, Metamorphoses 10) in similar and divergent ways to create an erotic epyllion. This early modern adaptation of the Ovidian story offers a case point of the re-reading of the classical tradition of daughter-father incest to see whether there are no enjoyable feelings attached to this destructive erotic pulsion and how the moral reading of the fable can be subverted to titillate an early modern male reader. Barksted clearly knew his Ovid and the stock moralisations inherited from the Ovid Moralisé tradition and he uses them to probe erotic psyche. By tapping into subterraneuous connections\, the Myrrha story mirrors and decontracts desire and lust while simultaneously redefining the process of mythopoetics in the early modern genre of erotic narratives. \n

SUMMARY:"Getting it Down and Writing it Up: William Petty and Ireland's Contemporary Ambitions for Clinical Research"
DESCRIPTION:  \n \n  \n  \n  \nTalk by Helen Sonner Moore visiting  Fellow 2019 \nWilliam Petty is well known for conducting the Down Survey and for his contributions to the development of statistics\, demographics\, and economics. However\, his methods in the Down Survey can also be seen to have anticipated many of the methodologies used today in the conduct and management of clinical trials. This paper will contextualise contemporary efforts to create global standards for clinical research against William Petty’s methodological innovations in the seventeenth‑century Down Survey – and suggest that recognizing Petty’s connection to the rise of clinical trials raises interesting possibilities at NUIG for a practical response to the call by the Irish Humanities Alliance for ‘intensive engagement’ in developing interdisciplinary research between the sciences and the humanities. \n

SUMMARY:Spotlight on Research Lecture Series-'Why Consent? Why Multidiscliplinary? Why Now?:  Making the Case for the Active Consent Programme’s  Multi-Sectoral Plan for 2019-2023'
DESCRIPTION:  \nDr Charlotte McIvor (Drama and Theatre Studies)\, Dr. Pádraig Mac Neela\,  \nDr Siobhán O’Higgins &  Kate Dawson (School of Psychology) \n  \nAbstract \nThis talk theorises the signature approach of the Active Consent programme team comprised of researchers from Psychology\, Health Promotion\, and Drama and Theatre Studies in relationship to the current policy and educational landscape around sexual health education and assault prevention in Ireland and internationally. Working together since 2014\, this team designs evidence-informed tools (based on survey and qualitative data)\, including workshops and creative arts interventions\, which in turn facilitate dialogue regarding consent and sexual health. The team’s embrace of consent as an active\, positive educational paradigm – inclusive of all genders\, all relationships and all sexualities – is intended to empower young people as active agents in the negotiation of their sexual relationships. Now funded between 2019-2023 by the Lifes2good Foundation with support from the National University of Ireland\, Galway\, the Active Consent programme has set the objective of unifying third-level\, secondary school and sporting organisations’ provision of consent-focused sexual health education.  This talk will reflect on the team’s learning since 2014 in partnership with young people\, trends in third-level Irish sexual health data that they have observed over this period\, and why they believe that a multi-disciplinary approach\, which considers interdependent educational and community sectors\, is essential for sustainable change in social and personal attitudes towards consent within sexual relationships in a post-#MeToo era. The team will describe the importance of sexual consent as a window on young people’s openness in talking about sensitive topics\, and the scope to expand this conversation into mental health and the use of alcohol and drugs. \nDr Pádraig MacNeela leads the SMART Consent project and Active Consent programme. He is a senior lecturer at the School of Psychology\, NUI Galway\, where he has worked since 2004. He works mainly on youth research\, especially in relation to sexual health\, mental health\, and alcohol use\, and on community research projects. He began working on sexual health initiatives following a project with RCNI in 2013 and served on the board of management of Galway Rape Crisis Centre 2014-18. He is co-investigator on the multidisciplinary YOULead doctoral training scheme on youth mental health 2018-2022 and the NUI Galway Resilience Project / Student Information Project – both of which demonstrate the importance of expanding the conversation about sexual health into other areas of well-being in young people’s lives. \nDr Charlotte McIvor is a Lecturer in Drama and Theatre Studies at NUI Galway in the O’Donoghue Centre for Drama\, Theatre and Performance. She is the author of the book Migration and Performance in Contemporary Ireland: Towards A New Interculturalism\, and multiple articles and edited collections focused on contemporary performance\, identity\, and interculturalism. Other creative projects on sexual consent include an original devised play 100 Shades of Grey co-created with NUI Galway students and co-direction of Lucy’s House Party (with Mick Ruane) for the Manuela Riedo Foundation’s Manuela Programme secondary school education project on sexual consent. \nDr Siobhán O’Higgins is research fellow on the Active and SMART Consent programme\,  School of Psychology. A sexologist and sexual health promoter\, Siobhán has worked\, since 1990\, developing and evaluating programmes on sexuality and relationships – for third level students\, primary and secondary pupils\, parents\, prisoners and those with intellectual disabilities. Her PhD in 2011\, explored secondary school children’s perceptions on what young people need to know and how they would like to be taught about sexuality and relationships and teachers’ ideas on how to meet those needs. The insights and knowledge gained during her PhD were translated into practice in the WISER programme\, presently delivered in over 50 schools in the West of Ireland. She developed the SMART Consent workshop and train the trainer programme with Dr MacNeela to raise awareness and challenge existing worrying social norms about how to be a sexually active young person. \nKate Dawson is currently finishing her PhD research in the School of Psychology on Pornography. Since completing her Masters in Health Promotion she has been delivering workshops in schools as a sexuality and relationship educator on the WISER programme and co-created the website for that intervention. \n
