This workshop addresses two deficits in the associated debates\, accentuating contributions derived from observed ‰Û÷wise‰۪ practices in the West of Ireland. Wisdom is generally regarded as a form of reasoning which responds to pressing life-problems without clear solutions in either expert or everyday knowledge. This workshop explores a) how such forms of reasoning can operate under conditions of social and intellectual diversity; b) the role of imagination in envisaging novel solutions. \nSince Socrates‰۪ time\, commentators on wisdom have commended slowness to rush to judgement\, even in dilemmas which initially seem clear. Contemporary work on wisdom foregrounds tolerance and a capacity to understand how others see the world differently from oneself\, while remaining committed to one‰۪s own core values. However\, closer studies of what people really mean when they believe they are being tolerant show strong tendencies to expect others to converge with their own ideas under more apposite temporal or social circumstances. \nPapers at the workshop respond to this observation and to evidence collected in Galway and Connemara\, analysing selected local practices as effecting forms of social wisdom which illustrate more genuine forms of tolerance. It also draws on empirical and theoretical research into confronting cultural diversity both in Galway City and in Canada. Finally\, we focus on the role in both wisdom and tolerance of uses of the imagination in comprehending other (world-)views\, explored in historical travel literature and the sociology of tourism\, and to the roles in ‰Û÷wise‰۪ discourse of Irish proverbs\, triads and epigrams.

During this period\, the American media abandoned a previously close connection with the military and government and instead moved independently through various mediums to denounce the Vietnam War. This dramatic period transformed the way American journalists cover conflicts and also significantly altered the relationship between the American media\, government and military officials. \nAbout Gavin Wilk: A Visiting Lecturer in History at the University of Limerick\, Gavin recently completed a PhD in History and was an IRCHSS Postgraduate Scholar from 2008-11. His thesis examines the militant Irish republican movement in the United States from 1923 to 1939 and focuses on the important role of Irish Republican Army (IRA) veterans in the US-based Irish republican movement. Gavin has completed a number of articles for reference works in American history\, including a recent contribution of fourteen articles to the M.E. Sharpe publication\, America in World History\, an encyclopaedia which presents American history through an international context. \nFor more see http://gasforum.blogspot.com/ URL:https://mooreinstitute.ie/event/destroying-the-silver-linings-the-american-media-and-the-vietnam-war-1968-71-with-guest-speaker-gavin-wilk-university-of-limerick/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20120601T200000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20120601T200000 DTSTAMP:20260405T224452 CREATED:20160824T134741Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160824T134741Z UID:2630-1338580800-1338580800@mooreinstitute.ie SUMMARY:Joyce's Galway\, Galway's Joyce: A Centenary to Celebrate - Frank Shovlin\, the Institute of Irish Studies\, University of Liverpool DESCRIPTION:The Moore Institute is pleased to promote a lecture on James Joyce and Galway by Dr. Frank Shovlin of the Institute of Irish Studies\, University of Liverpool\, and incoming Leverhulme Fellow at the Moore Institute during the next academic year.

With MÌÁirtÌ_n ÌÒ DireÌÁin and SeÌÁn ÌÒ RÌ_ordÌÁin\, she revolutionised the practice of poetry in Irish in the 1940s and 50s and paved the way for a new generation of women poets who emerged in Irish and in English in the 1970s and 80s. A generation before Nuala NÌ_ Dhomhnaill and Eavan Boland\, and in more difficult circumstances\, MÌÁire Mhac an tSaoi gave voice to the intimate and subversive aspects of women’s experience in poems that challenged the moral orthodoxies of the time. \n‰Û÷Although her work and influence is acknowledged by poets and critics alike\,’ according to Louis de Paor\, Director of the Centre for Irish Studies\, ‰Û÷this is the first such event dedicated entirely to her work and includes contributions from some of the finest scholars and critics of poetry in Irish.

Issues including homophily and related difficulties in findinghelpful mentors and role models\, along with unintended exclusion from informal social groups. These act to hamper women’s participation in important networks. Moreover\, commentators have argued that academia itself is founded on inherentlypatriarchical systems and structures\, and that these emerge in the gendering of the division of labour in relation to teaching\, research and administrative roles\, along with working practices that present obstacles to fulfilling familial responsibilities and caring roles. In contrast to this\, for others\, universities remain ‰Û÷gender blind’\, with career advancement and participation ostensibly open to all. In this seminar we are fortunate to bring together scholars from Ireland and the UK who will present recent empirical findings and new theoretical insights in this area. \nAll are welcome. Please contact Kate Kenny kate.kenny@nuigalway.ie to reserve a place. \nThe seminar is organized by NUI Galway’s Work Society and Governance cluster\, and the Public Policies and Gender cluster (Gender ARC). \nSchedule\n1.00 WelcomeMarianna Fotaki\, Reader in health policy and organisation studies.Manchester Business School\, University of Manchester.Of women\, gender and inequality in academe: Bringing feminism back to dispel yet another wicked issue \n2.00 Tea and Coffee \n2.30Kelly Coate\, Lecturer in teaching and learning in Higher Education and Vice Dean (Graduate Studies) in the College of Arts\, Social Sciences and Celtic Studies\, NUI Galway.Indicators of esteem: Gender and prestige in academic work \n3.30 Pat O’Connor\, Professor of Sociology and Social Policy\, University of Limerick.Organisational Culture in University Senior Management: A Cross National Perspective \n4.30 Discussion and reflection: Anne Byrne\, Lecturer at School of Political Science and Sociology\, NUI Galway. \n5.00 Close \nPlease join us for an informal dinner after the workshop \nPAPER ABSTRACTS:Of women\, gender and inequality in academe: Bringing feminism back to dispel yet another wicked issueMarianna FotakiWomen’s underrepresentation in senior ranks across academic disciplines is welldocumented. Yet\, the majority of analyses of women’s discrimination in academiacontinue to focus on the institutionally-oriented approaches\, and the importance ofstructural barriers of patriarchy. This leaves the issue of subjectivity untheorised andimpedes our understanding of gendered academic institutions at work. The aim of thisarticle is to apply psychosocial approaches enabling us to think differently about thesocially situated subject. First\, I draw on conceptions of women’s ‰Û÷otherness’ viaIrigaray and Kristeva\, and then turn to Butler’s (1997) idea of subject-ion\, which issustained and reproduced as an instrument of the subject becomingness and theprecondition for her agency. Second\, I apply the critique of post-feminism byMcRobbie (2009)\, with an intention to rehabilitate the demands of feminism aspertinent to dispelling the logic of inequality and subordination of women inacademia as yet another ‰Û÷wicked issue’. The findings of a study looking into theexperiences of women in management and business schools in England are thendiscussed in light of the proposed theory. \nIndicators of esteem: Gender and prestige in academic workKelly CoateThis paper draws on recent work on the prestige economy in relation to academicmotivation by developing a gendered notion of prestige. Blackmore and Kandiko(2011) have proposed a framework for interpreting aspects of academic work whichmotivate academics to achieve success. Aside from financial gain\, they propose thatacademics are motivated by the work itself and factors related to prestige. Given thatwomen are less well represented at senior levels in academia\, there is a question as towhether there are gendered aspects to these motivational factors. Far from suggestingthat women are less motivated than men\, I will use a feminist materialist analysis toargue that women\, for a number of socio-cultural reasons\, find it harder to enter theprestige economy in order to gain the indicators of esteem that they can trade forfurther advancement to their careers. Data from a recent survey of academics atNUIG on career progression will be used to illustrate how the prestige economyoperates to the advantages of those who have access to the masculine\, homosocialculture within this context. \nOrganisational Culture in University Senior Management: A Cross National PerspectivePat O’ConnorOrganisational culture is typically presented as meritocratic in universities. In thatcontext the under-representation of women in university senior management can beseen as reflecting that absence of merit. It will be suggested that such a conclusionignores the gendering of definitions of merit in academia and the importance of socialcapital in accessing such positions. Using data collected in a cross national study\, anddrawing on Sinclair’s (1998) analytical model\, the paper will present a typologyinvolving denial; identification of women as ‘the problem’; incremental adjustmentand commitment to a new culture. It will be suggested that\, using this model\, it ispossible to position the eight countries in the cross national study (i.e. Australia; NewZealand; Portugal; UK; Turkey; South Africa; Sweden and Ireland). The paper willconclude by suggesting that the organisational culture of Irish universities at seniormanagement level is not unrelated to the disinterest of the state in this issue. Thewider implications of the study for the perpetuation of gender as a social structure(Reisman\, 2004)\, with a particular focus on Ireland will be briefly discussed. \nThe event is supported by the Institute for Business\, Social Sciences and Public Policy at NUIGalway\, and URL:https://mooreinstitute.ie/event/gender-and-academic-work/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20120424T130000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20120424T130000 DTSTAMP:20260405T224452 CREATED:20160824T134735Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160824T134735Z UID:2573-1335272400-1335272400@mooreinstitute.ie SUMMARY:Dr. Marianna Fotaki - TCC Seminar Series - University of Manchester - Of women\, gender and inequality in academe: Bringing feminism back to dispel yet another wicked issue DESCRIPTION:Marianna Fotaki\, Reader in health policy and organisation studies.Manchester Business School\, University of Manchester.Of women\, gender and inequality in academe: Bringing feminism back todispel yet another wicked issue URL:https://mooreinstitute.ie/event/dr-marianna-fotaki-tcc-seminar-series-university-of-manchester-of-women-gender-and-inequality-in-academe-bringing-feminism-back-to-dispel-yet-another-wicked-issue/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20120423T160000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20120423T160000 DTSTAMP:20260405T224452 CREATED:20160824T134740Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160824T134740Z UID:2617-1335196800-1335196800@mooreinstitute.ie SUMMARY:Professor Claire Culleton - Kent State University - 'Life after the PhD: a series of conversations with visiting scholars' DESCRIPTION:Life after the PhD: a series of conversations with visiting scholars We are pleased to announce the second event of the ‰Û÷Life after the PhD‰۪ seminar series.
