SUMMARY:May Day webinar: Revolution? Ireland from below\, c.1919-1923
DESCRIPTION:This webinar\, hosted by the Irish Centre for Histories of Labour and Class and the Moore Institute\, looks at Ireland from below in the Revolutionary period. During the Irish struggle for independence\, and underpinning that struggle\, a number of grassroots social movements – including general strikes\, land seizures\, and the munitions boycott by transport workers – developed. In recent commemorative events\, this aspect of the history of the period has frequently been overlooked. The panel will discuss various social struggles of 1919-1923\, considering the objectives of those involved\, their notions of justice and equity\, and their connections with political and military organisations. \nPanellists\n\nDr Anne Boran\nFrancis Devine\nDr Terry Dunne\nMs Moira Leyden\nDr Peter Rigney\n\nMODERATOR: \nDr John Cunningham\, Director – ICHLC \nFollowed by the launch of Peter Rigney’s How Railwaymen and Dockers Defied an Empire: The Irish Munitions Embargo of 1920\, launched by Tish Gibbons. \nRegistration\nTo attend\, please register via: https://nuigalway-ie.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_VfbdNcjSSD6fx9B9UIhplA. The session will also be streamed live on the Moore Institute’s Facebook page. \nEvent Recording

SUMMARY:Naming the Traces: (Re)Constructing an Irish-Canadian Family Narrative of Emigration\, Place-Making\, and Return
DESCRIPTION:Irish Studies’ Seminar Series-Spring 2021 – School of Geography\, Archaeology and Irish Studies\, in association with the Moore Institute\, NUI Galway. \nOn what narrative\, mnemonic\, and spatial scaffolding is an intergenerational family story built? How\, as writers and historians\, can we access the family memories that inform these stories\, and reconstruct the past\, despite the gaps and silences that are present in the narrative? This research-creation dissertation project addresses these questions through the medium of an intergenerational family memoir. The narrative reconstructs my great-grandmother Norah Davin’s journey in 1928 from her home in the village of Shrule\, County Mayo\, Ireland to Montreal\, where she gave birth to my grandmother Rose in a home for unmarried mothers. It then follows several generational strands of my family’s “emplaced” memories in Montreal\, focusing—in the tradition of memoirs of working-class family life by Annette Kuhn\, Christine Walley\, Carolyn Steedman\, and Sharon O’Brien—primarily\, though not exclusively\, on the stories of the women in my family. Here\, I reflect upon how\, as an adult\, I have forged my own relationship with specific regions in the west of Ireland\, illustrating that despite the “estranging power of displacement” that many families experience after emigration\, connections can be re-configured\, and established anew. \nSpeaker\nMs Kelly Norah Drukker (Michael Smith Foreign Study Scholar\, Centre for Irish Studies\, NUI Galway 2021-22 and Humanities Doctoral Candidate\, School of Irish Studies\,Concordia University\, Montreal). \nGuest Respondent: Dr Barbara Lorenzkowski (Department of History\,Concordia University\, Montreal). \nChair: Dr Nessa Cronin\, Centre for Irish Studies\, School of Geography\, Archaeology and Irish Studies\, NUI Galway. \nRegistration\nPlease register for this Zoom webinar at: https://nuigalway-ie.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_EOwbgP9iTVemSng6oNT-gQ.

SUMMARY:CAMPS: 8th International Conference on the Science of Computus in Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages\, 17-19 June 2021
DESCRIPTION:8th International Conference on the Science of Computus in Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages\, Galway 17-19 June 2021 \nSince 2006\, the Moore Institute of the National University of Ireland in Galway has hosted\, under the direction of Dáibhí Ó Cróinín\, a biannual conference on the science of computus in the Middle Ages. Computus – the mathematics required to calculate the date of Easter\, and related topics – straddles the fields of mathematics and astronomy\, biblical interpretation and cosmology\, empirical astronomical observation\, and the perennial quest to understand the concepts of time and time-Reckoning. \nThe core period covered by the Galway Conference stretches from the beginnings of Easter calculations in the third century to the introduction of Arabic and Greek science in the Latin West in the 12th century\, but papers on the reckoning of time and its cultural context in the later Middle Ages have also always been welcome. Each conference has had a special theme (e.g.\, the formation of computus in Late Antiquity; the rise of prognostications in the early Middle Ages; the revolution of computus in the 11th and 12th centuries; computus in the Carolingian Age; computus and the vernacular; etc.). \nThe upcoming conference will start on 17 June with a special panel addressing the following fundamental conceptual question: \nWhat is early medieval Latin science? \nWe are very happy to confirm that the following scholars have accepted to present in this panel: Faith Wallis (Montreal)\, John J. Contreni (Purdue)\, Philipp Nothaft (Dublin)\, James T. Palmer (St. Andrews). \n18 June and 19 June will be devoted to thematic sessions covering topics of computistical interest from Late Antiquity to the Early Modern Period. The conference will end on 19 June with a show-case of three websites recently developed as part of the following three projects: \nIFCE – The Irish Foundation of Carolingian Europe: the case of calendrical science (funded by the Irish Research Council Laureate Programme) \nIRCABRITT – Ireland and Carolingian Brittany: Texts and Transmission (funded by the Irish Research Council Laureate Programme) \nInnovating Knowledge – Isidore’s Etymologiae in the Carolingian Period (funded by the Nederlandse Wetenschapelijke Organisatie) \nRegistration: \nThis conference will be held digitally through Zoom. A link will be sent to all registered participants a day in advance\, for each conference day.

SUMMARY:Imagining inclusivity: The role of language in an increasingly diverse Ireland
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is designed to facilitate dialogue between academics\, policymakers\, practitioners\, and NGOs in imagining a more inclusive Ireland\, and the role that language plays in how we envisage this inclusivity. The event stems from the project ‘Languages\, Families\, and Society’ (LaFS) at NUI Galway\, which uses an ethnographic approach to understand more about the everyday lived experiences families who speak Irish as a home language; Polish as a home language; and Kurdish as a home language\, and how these experiences intersect with language policy and support (or lack thereof) at the wider level. \nThe workshop will consist of five 10-minute presentations\, followed by 5 minutes for questions. We will then break out into groups and take part in a targeted discussions about key issues before coming back together as a whole group. Our collective thoughts and recommendations will form the basis of a document to be published on the project’s website. Even if you do not wish to participate in the group discussions\, we warmly invite you to attend this workshop. \nPresenters\nDr. Cassie Smith-Christmas (Roinn na Gaeilge\, NUI Galway) is the research fellow with LaFS. This project builds on her extensive research within the area of ‘Family Language Policy’ which encompasses work with in the Corca Dhuibhne Gaeltacht and the Hebrides of Scotland. \nProfessor Tadhg Ó hIfearnáin (Roinn na Gaeilge\, NUI Galway) is the mentor with LaFS. He is a pioneer of ‘Family Language Policy’ in an Irish language context and has conducted research in Gaeltacht communities\, across Ireland and in other minoritised language settings in Europe\, as well as advising state and community language planning agencies. \nAnnie Asgard (Claddagh National School\, Galway) is an EAL teacher and Chairperson of English Language Support Teachers’ Association of Ireland (ELSTA). Annie has extensive experience working with EAL learners of different backgrounds in different contexts\, ranging from primary schools to refugee camps. \nDr. Lorraine Connaughton-Crean (Institute of Education\, Dublin City University) helped design the NCAA Primary Curriculum for Languages (2019). She recently completed her PhD thesis (2020) which explored the linguistic experiences of Polish-speaking families in Ireland. \nDr. Carmen Kealy (UNESCO Child and Family Research Centre\, NUI Galway) is part of the research team Crisis Coping: Living and Learning through COVID-19 which is a HRB and IRC funded study (collaboration between UCFRC and the School of Education). With a strong research interest in parenting and migration\, she completed her PhD thesis (2019) on the experience of Polish parents in Galway. \nRegistration\nEvent is free but please register by June 29\, 2021: https://forms.office.com/r/QWG4Y66k02. \n  \n \n“This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 794800”.

SUMMARY:Society for Folk Life Studies Annual Conference
DESCRIPTION:The Society for Folk Life Studies\n Online  \nAnnual Conference \n Galway\, Republic of Ireland \n 10-12 September 2021 \n**Music\, dance\, song\, story and related artefacts** \n**Vernacular buildings and interiors** \n  \nThe conference will be accessed by Zoom \nand hosted by The Moore Institute\, National University of Ireland\, Galway \n(Moore Institute for Research in the Humanities and Social Studies | NUI Galway | Ireland) \n  \n  \nPROGRAMME\n(Please note: Most lectures will be recorded) \n  \nFRIDAY\, 10 September \n  \n09.30                           Assemble online and technical briefing \n09.45-09.50                 Dr Dafydd Roberts (President\, Society for Folk Life Studies) \n  \nWelcome to the 2021 annual conference \n  \n09.50-10.00                 Lillis Ó Laoire: Welcome to The Moore Institute and NUI\, Galway \n  \n10.00-10.45                 Lecture 1: John Cunningham \n  \nPreserving livestock from “hogs\, dogs\, bogs and thieves”: The traditions and tribulations of herdsmen in nineteenth-century Connacht. \nAccording to one agriculturalist in the 1890s\, herdsmen in counties Galway and Roscommon were ‘distinct from any employed in any of the English districts\, being neither shepherds nor bailiffs and yet a compound of both’. Working for landlords and large graziers\, they were responsible workers\, liable for damage to their employers’ stock\, whether caused by ‘hogs\, dogs\, bogs\, or thieves’\, in their own phrase. The lecture will discuss the herdsmen’s attachment to their archaic working conditions\, their craft identity\, and the efforts of their herds’ associations through which they defended their position against both employers and tenants’ movements during the land war. \n  \n10.45-11.15                 Offline coffee break \n  \n11.15-12.00                 Lecture 2: Niall Ó Ciosáin \n  \nBook subscribers and readers in the Celtic languages in the 18th and 19th centuries.  \nIn the second half of the 18th century\, there was an expansion in the reading public of most European languages. The Celtic languages were no exception to this trend\, and there was a significant increase in the production of printed texts in Welsh\, Scottish Gaelic\, Irish and Breton. While the production end of these texts has been explored to an extent\, very little is known about their readers. Who bought and read books and pamphlets in the Celtic languages? This paper begins to explore this question by way of the lists of subscribers that were occasionally appended to song books and poetic miscellanies\, particularly in Welsh and Scottish Gaelic. The lists contain anything between a few dozen and many hundreds of names\, often with addresses and occupations included (more so than subscription lists in English). These are analysed in terms of geography and social status to give a picture of the different reading communities in the various languages. \n  \n12.00-14.00                 Offline lunch break \n  \n14.00-14.45                 Lecture 3: Ailbhe Nic Giolla Chomhaill \n  \n“Sin an áit a raibh an lúcháir/ That was the place of joy:” Craft\, creativity and context in the tales of a Co. Donegal female storyteller. \nIreland’s National Folklore Collection (NFC) is home to a large collection of folktales and traditional oral material narrated by Sorcha Chonaill Mhic Grianna (1875-1964)\, a storyteller from the Gaeltacht townland of Ranafast\, Co. Donegal\, in the 1930s. The large quantity of folktales in this collection is representative of the richness of women’s oral narrative tradition in Co. Donegal in the first half of the 20th century; it also reflects the remarkable skill of this storyteller\, whose vast folklore repertoire also included songs\, prayers\, Fenian lays\, and detailed accounts of historic events and local customs. This paper seeks to bridge the doorway between the archival folktale and the social meanings and understandings held within by analysing Sorcha Chonaill’s telling of international wonder tale ATU 707 The Three Golden Children. Before turning my attention to the folktale itself\, I will contextualise the storyteller’s repertoire within the broader context of women’s traditional storytelling in Ireland\, followed by the micro-level context of the storyteller’s socialisation in the rural Irish community of Ranafast in the latter half of the 19th century. \n  \n14.45-15.15                 Offline tea break \n  \n15.15-16.00                 Lecture 4: Róisín Nic Dhonnchadha \n  \nConamara Man: An English Language Gaeltacht Autobiography. \nHow can a self-authored personal narrative help to delineate the factors through which folk identities are formed? In this paper\, I discuss the curious instance of an English language Gaeltacht autobiography\, namely\, Conamara Man (1969) by Séamus Mac an Iomaire [Séamus Ridge]. An islander and a fisherman from the Carna area of County Galway\, Mac an Iomaire (1891-1967) gained renown for his classic publication\, Cladaigh Chonamara [The Shores of Connemara]\, an encyclopaedic account of shore life and the maritime traditions of south Connemara. Reminiscent of autoethnography\, Conamara Man reflects an innate affiliation of person with place and invites us to examine how aspects of folk identity are cultivated by the idea of topophilia. Recognising Mac an Iomaire’s intimate involvement with the sea\, I also address in this presentation the relationship between vocation and identity in the context of folk narratives. \n  \n16.00                           Offline tea break  \n  \n18.00-19.00                 Online pre-prandial drinks (an informal gathering with one’s own drinks) \n  \n19.00                           Offline supper \n  \n\nSATURDAY\, 11 September \n  \n09.45                           Assemble online and technical briefing \n  \n10..00-10.45                Lecture 5: Claudia Kinmonth \n  \nPost publication discoveries; readers’ responses to Irish country furniture and furnishings 1700-2000. \nOften after publishing a book\, new\, associated material comes out of the woodwork. Completing a book during the 2020 pandemic\, and then publishing it and receiving responses from readers\, during lockdown in Ireland\, revealed a mass of objects that I was unable to go and scrutinise first-hand. Normally I cannot to give opinions on art or furniture without checking it first-hand\, to ensure everything is genuine. Some professionally faked Irish furniture cannot necessarily be recognised from photographs. But lockdown forced me into a situation where I had no choice\, I couldn’t enter peoples’ houses\, or examine the subtleties of the undersides of chairs\, or the backs and surface details of paintings in the normal way. \nTaking to Twitter and Instagram to augment publicity in the absence of a launch\, produced a mass of poorly photographed images\, sometimes of fascinating objects. Correspondence with strangers about how best to photograph a chair produced some amusing results. The range of items that emerged was exciting\, especially of rare things which previously had only emerged from museum collections\, such as the slightly magical ‘God in a bottle’\, the first of which was produced by our local grocer\, who had one belonging to her grandmother. Slightly better known were ‘falling tables’\, but fresh examples with good stories about their makers arose from Counties Fermanagh\, and Wicklow. Súgán chairs were a familiar design\, but the first fork-legged one appeared one day on my screen via Instagram. Publishing a 1940s photograph of celebrated author Peig Sayers in her kitchen\, gave rise to ceramics identifiable from her dresser\, and other surviving items of her furniture\, being discovered. Likewise\, glass fishing floats arranged as dresser decoration turned out to be recycled to augment gateposts\, and intriguing in their own right. Broken glass and pottery were part of external cottage decoration\, so photography was easier. This paper takes the opportunity to showcase a scattered range of such ‘new’ historic material\, and some new avenues of research\, for the first time. \n  \n10.45-11.30                 Offline coffee break \n  \n11.30-12.15                 Lecture 6: Verena Commins \n  \nMonuments and commemoration: Realising an Irish traditional music heritage through visual culture.  \nAs public symbols\, monuments are part of a wider cultural landscape that reflect both perspectives on the past and their contemporary interpretation. This paper tracks the relatively recent (post-1974) monumentalisation of the oral tradition of Irish traditional music practice through the prism of commemoration: the raising of public monuments and statues to Irish traditional artists in civic spaces throughout Ireland. The materiality and physical presence of monuments in public squares and crossroads represents the tradition as visual culture in environments far distant from the intimate context of fireside or public house. In doing so\, it extends their associated meanings beyond a listening and performing community of practice of Irish traditional music\, providing new access routes to what is a predominately sound and sounded culture. Furthermore\, it locates this development in local\, national and global contexts\, using specific examples to highlight the commemoration and iconisation of selected musicians and places\, as well as examining the broader aspects and implications of monument emplacement as both built objects and works of art in their own right. \n  \n12.15-14.00                 Offline lunch break  \n  \n14.00-14.45                 Lecture 7: Máirtín Mac Con Iomaire \n  \nReferences to food and drink in Traditional Gaelic Song. \nOver twenty years ago\, I heard Gerry O’Reilly sing ‘The Irish Jubilee’ in Hughes’ Pub as part of the annual Sean-nós Cois Life festival. There were so many food references in this comical song\, I knew I would have to learn it. I had been long aware of the food and beverage content of songs within the Gaelic tradition ranging from ‘An Faoitín’ to ‘Ólaim Punch’ not to mention the rich food descriptions in the pre-famine songs of Antaine Ó Raiftearaí (1784-1835). The catalyst for my exploration of food in the Irish song tradition\, however\, was a statement by Hasia Diner in her book Hungering for America: Italian\, Irish and Jewish Foodways in the Age of Migration (Harvard University Press\, 2002) where she argued that only the Irish—unlike the Italians and Jews who are also subjects of her book—did not have a richly developed food culture\, and that ‘unlike other peoples\, Irish writers of memoirs\, poems\, stories\, political tracts and songs rarely included the details of food in describing daily life’. I instinctively knew this to be false and set about to gather the evidence within the song and poetry to correct this statement. \n  \n14.45-15.15                 Offline tea break \n  \n15.15-16.30                Online excursion: Virtual tour of Galway City Museum\, followed by a live Q & A. \nLed by Damien Donnellan (Galway City Museum) \n  \n16.30-19.30                 Offline supper break  \n  \n19.30                           Informal\, post-prandial ‘show & tell’\, or ‘sing & tell’. \nConference delegates and speakers are invited to gather online to briefly share information about an interesting artefact or publication\, sing a song or tell a story. \n  \n\nSUNDAY\, 12 September \n  \n09.45                           Assemble online and technical briefing \n  \n10.00-10.45                 Presidential Address: Dafydd Roberts: \n  \nPower to the People. \nThis talk has been inspired by the success of the Ynni Ogwen scheme – a collaborative\, community-led project in the Ogwen Valley area of Gwynedd\, north-west Wales\, to capture power from the flow of the river\, and use this to generate hydro electricity. A community share offer raised half a million pounds\, all of the funding required to build and install the scheme. Its turbine house sits on land owned by the Penrhyn Slate Quarry\, and is within screaming distance of the fastest zip wires in Europe! The 500\,000KWH generated annually brings with it a range of benefits\, including supplying power at reduced prices. It’s also very clear that the scheme has been a catalyst for a still-evolving range of other community-based projects\, and that it’s raised confidence in local ability to take on and deliver these. \n  \n10.45-11.15                 Offline coffee break  \n  \n11.15-12.30                 Annual General Meeting of the Society for Folk Life Studies. \n  \n12.30-13.45                 Offline lunch break  \n  \n13.45-15.05                 Shorter Papers: \n  \n13.45-14.05                 Nikita Koptev \n  \nSelf-collection of folklore by Irish schoolchildren: strategies and outcomes. \nThe Schools’ Scheme of 1937/8\, initiated by the Irish Folklore Commission\, was an almost unprecedented experiment. Not only did it contribute to one of the biggest collections of folklore in Europe\, but it also arguably boosted the cultural development of children and created a catalyst for the intergenerational transmission of tales. Children from 26 counties collected folk materials on 55 topics indicated in the booklet Irish Folklore and Tradition (1937). While the majority of the texts in the Schools’ Collection of the National Folklore Collection of Ireland were collected from adults\, some\, arguably\, were produced by the children themselves. The fact that the texts in the Schools’ Collection were created in the school context as part of the Composition lessons predetermined several crucial features. Moreover\, the way the collection process was organised by the Folklore Commission influenced the outcome as well. This paper will examine prominent features of the texts\, strategies employed by children and influential factors that could have changed the outcome of the Schools’ Scheme of 1937/8. \n  \n14.05-14.25                 Eugene Costello \n  \nUpland pastoralism as social practice: commons\, gendered labour and landscape. \nThis paper will outline the social structures and practices associated with traditional livestock herding in upland areas of north-west Europe. It deals particularly with transhumance or ‘booleying’ in the west of Ireland in the period\, 1600-1900\, but includes comparisons with Scotland\, Iceland and Sweden. The main focus will be on the organisation and recognition of grazing rights\, the different roles of men and women in herding and\, above all\, how these social aspects tied back into the physical environment. The paper will also include a short discussion on the medieval origins of the social role of pastoralism. \n  \n14.25-14.45                 Muireann Ní Cheannabháin \n  \nGo n-éirí do chodladh leat/May your sleep be restful: Revealing secrets and repelling threats in Gaelic lullabies. \nA clear aim of the lullaby is to put a child to sleep. Less overtly\, however\, lullabies convey a wide range of themes and emotions that contrast sharply with their soothing melodies. Lullabies belong to genres of song associated with women and family life\, -a domestic sphere that gives us clues as to why so few of them are found in Irish folklore collections. This paper will discuss the opportunities that lullabies gave women to express themselves\, as well as fulfilling their duty to protect the infant and repel threats\, especially the threat of fairy interference. Examining the songs sung by women gives a distinctive insight into the position of women in society\, showing\, as well\, their participation in life’s rituals; from birth to death\, and all that lay between them. \n  \n14.45-15.05                 Ciaran McDonough \n  \n“I have lately been annoyed by so many blockheads\, I do not know whom to treat civilly”: The Ordnance Survey of Ireland’s folklore informants. \nAs well as collecting information pertaining to Ireland’s toponomy during the Ordnance Survey of Ireland\, the Topographical Department\, consisting of some of the finest Irish scholars of the day\, were also instructed to make the most of such a large endeavour and to collect folkloric material in addition to names for and remains on the physical landscape. In addition to the official name books and Memoirs\, collected by the surveyors (who often were unable to speak Irish fluently\, if at all)\, the Ordnance Survey Letters were written by members of the Topographical Department as they filled in the gaps left by the surveyors. This paper looks at the informants for this folkloric material as it is presented in the Ordnance Survey Letters. Focusing largely on the province of Connacht\, I will examine who the informants were and present their contributions\, investigating how the situation of Irish in their townlands may have influenced the type of material presented. \n  \n15.10-15.15                 Concluding remarks \n  \n15.15                           Online tea\, cakes (bring your own!) and farewells  \n  \nEnd of conference \n  \n\nREGISTRATION\nIf you wish to attend this year’s conference\, please contact the Conference Secretary (Steph Mastoris steph.mastoris@museumwales.ac.uk) by Friday 3 September. \nThe cost of attending the whole conference is: \n\nSFLS member: £25\nNon-member: £45\nFull time student: £12\n\n  \nOn receipt of your conference fee you will be sent the codes for joining each part of the conference online. \n  \nPlease send a cheque\, or notification of bank transfer to: \nSteph Mastoris \nNational Waterfront Museum\, \nOystermouth Road\, Maritime Quarter\, Swansea SA1 3RD \n(steph.mastoris@museumwales.ac.uk) \n  \nPlease pay either \nby cheque payable to The Society for Folk Life Studies \nor \nby BACS transfer to the Society’s bank account: \nSort code:  40-35-18                       Account number: 11226363 \nInternational Bank Account Number: GB61HBUK4035181 1226363 \nBranch Identifier Code: HBUKGB4108N \n(Please identify the transfer as ‘Conference 2021 + [your surname]’) \nNOTE: The Conference fee does not apply to the Moore Institute students who can join the event for free (please contact Professor Lillis Ó Laoire at lillis.olaoire@oegaillimh.ie for further information).

SUMMARY:Sport & Exercise Research Group Seminar Series: "Sport and Identity: from local pastimes to global games"
DESCRIPTION:Sport and Identity: from local pastimes to global games\nProfessor Philip Dine\, Discipline of French\, NUI Galway. \n[ONLINE LECTURE: https://eu.bbcollab.com/guest/af1fce62e92d4befb6fe95fe8732d90a ] \nHow does sport shape society? From local origins in the later nineteenth and early twentieth centuries\, modern sports were first nationally and then internationally regulated\, enabling novel personal interactions and unprecedented cultural exchanges. This sporting internationalization was to culminate in such global mega-events as the Olympic Games and the football World Cup. These most intensely mediatized spectacles today attract television audiences in their billions\, as the apex of modern sport’s complex network of tangible and intangible exchanges. Mobilizing enormous resources based on strategic alliances between national sports industries\, international governing bodies and transnational media corporations\, they are amongst the modern world’s most powerful producers of locally and globally resonant meanings. In terms of its availability\, sport has now achieved near-saturation coverage\, certainly within the developed world. Yet\, paradoxically\, sport’s traditional emphasis on the local has\, if anything\, been reinforced by the challenges of globalization. This seminar seeks to explore sport’s social significance by offering a case study of France\, focusing on the contribution of organized games to the historical construction and continuing reconfiguration of a variety of local\, national and\, increasingly\, transnational identities. \nPhilip Dine is Personal Professor in the Discipline of French at the National University of Ireland Galway. He has published widely on representations of the French empire\, particularly decolonization\, in fields ranging from children’s literature to professional sport. Further projects have targeted sport and identity-construction in France and the Francophone world.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED - Sport & Exercise Research Group Seminar Series: "Lance Armstrong and suiveur reporting in Libération\, 1999–2013: A Case Study in Sports Journalism"
DESCRIPTION:Dear Colleagues\, \nUnfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances this week’s Research in Sport lecture by Ruadhán Cooke –  Lance Armstrong and suiveur reporting in Libération\, 1999–2013: A Case Stu​dy in Sports Journalism – has had to be postponed. We hope to reschedule this lecture for a later date\, to be confirmed.  \nOur next lecture will be on Sep. 28th (12pm in The Bridge) when Dr. Eoin Whelan (J.E. Cairnes School of Business & Economics\, NUI Galway) will address the topic of  ‘How are advances in digital technologies impacting sports and exercise?’  – further details to follow later this week. \nLance Armstrong and suiveur reporting in Libération\, 1999–2013: A Case Study in Sports Journalism\nRuadhán Cooke\, Discipline of French\, School of Languages\, Literatures and Cultures\, NUI Galway. \nAs national institution and site of memory for France for over a century\, the Tour de France is a privileged locus for investigating the interactions between sport and cultural meaning. Literary journalism chronicling the race has a long history of representing the multiple meanings and dimensions of physical performance\, particularly of heroic champions\, in the Tour. During the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries the Tour itself and French culture more widely were destabilised by the ambiguous hero Lance Armstrong\, and\, in a context of guarded reporting on the facts of doping\, literary journalism was able to give a creative account of complex sporting performances. This lecture examines the journalism of Jean-Louis Le Touzet in Libération as an example of suiveur reporting in the tradition of Antoine Blondin\, and shows how the freedom of literary journalism allows Le Touzet to accurately reflect academic perspectives on Armstrong\, politics\, culture and sport. \nRuadhán Cooke teaches French in the School of Languages\, Literatures and Cultures. Research interests include the overlaps between sport and literature\, sports journalism and the cultural impact of sport.

SUMMARY:CALM Seminar Series 2021-2022: "Saibhreas and society: intergenerational language transmission in Irish-speaking\, Kurdish-speaking\, and Polish-speaking families"
DESCRIPTION:This talk will explore a model developed to give a holistic account of caregivers’ goals for successful intergenerational language transmission\, referred to as the ‘saibhreas’ model. This model was developed within an autochthonous minority language context (Irish in Corca Dhuibhne\, Co. Kerry with the ’Sustaining Minoritized Languages in Europe’ initiative)\, but the talk will show the relevance of the model to conceptualising intergenerational transmission of heritage languages\, specifically the Polish and Kurdish languages in Ireland through the project Languages\, Families\, and Society. The talk will outline the various challenges families encounter in reaching their goals for successful intergenerational language transmission and will discuss possible societal interventions that could help mitigate these obstacles. \nSpeaker: Dr. Cassie Smith-Christmas\, NUI Galway. Part of the CALM (Centre for Applied Linguistics and Multilingualism) Seminar Series for 2021-2022. \nRegistration\nTo attend this online webinar via Zoom\, please register HERE.

SUMMARY:The Future of the Humanities: Challenges and Opportunities
DESCRIPTION:This autumn the UCD Humanities Institute celebrates its 20th anniversary. We can look back over a successful history. Generations of PhDs and postdoctoral fellows have benefitted from the unique research environment offered by the Humanities Institute . Hundreds of conferences\, workshops and Distinguished Guest Lectures have placed the Humanities Institute on the national and international maps\, and collaborations with external partners and with the other research institutes in UCD have created a vibrant interdisciplinary network spanning the Humanities\, Social Sciences and STEM areas. Our Soundcloud is attracting a growing public audience. So there is much to celebrate. \nAnd yet\, in recent years the humanities have come under pressure\, nationally and internationally. Celebrating the humanities therefore also means articulating a vision for the 21st century. \nWe would like to invite you to the following special lecture: \nProfessor Dan Carey (MRIA\, Director of the Moore Institute\, NUI Galway) \nThe Future of the Humanities: Challenges and Opportunities \nDaniel Carey is a board member of the Irish Research Council and has served as chair of the Irish Humanities Alliance (2014-16). He has held grants from the Mellon Foundation\, the IRC\, the AHRC\, British Academy\, MHRA\, and other sources\, and has mentored 12 postdoctoral fellows funded by Marie Skłodowska Curie actions\, the IRC\, and other schemes. His current research is a major international project to edit the work of Richard Hakluyt (www.hakluyt.org) and has published widely on intellectual history\, colonialism\, and economic thought. \nRegistration\nRegister for free on Eventbrite. The Zoom link for this talk will be emailed to all registered participants the day before the event.

SUMMARY:Being in the air: An intellectual and aesthetic history of climate
DESCRIPTION:Current conceptualizations of climate and climate change are dominated by the abstract idea of climate as “the average weather.” This scientific understanding needs to be complemented by a cultural concept of climate which has a long tradition from Antiquity to the Enlightenment. In order to understand what it means to “be in the air” culturally\, politically\, and medically\, we need a cultural conception of climate as an environment. This talk by Professor Eva Horn\, University of Vienna\, provides historical and literary examples of what it might mean to understand the air from the inside\, as an element of individual\, social\, and cultural life.

SUMMARY:Political Science and Sociology Research Seminar: "Beyond the Binary: Civic Parties in Post-Agreement Northern Ireland"
DESCRIPTION:This is an in-person event held in is room 306 in Aras Moyola\, NUI Galway.\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nThis presentation will outline a book currently being developed about civic parties in deeply divided societies\, focusing on the case of Northern Ireland after the 1998 Good Friday Agreement. The book explores the place of civic parties – those that organize on the basis of issues\, allegiances and identity categories other than ethno-national – within a political space structured along binary ethno-national lines. In particular\, it addresses the puzzle of how these parties have managed to survive and grow in post-Agreement Northern Ireland in the context of a consociational power-sharing system explicitly designed to accommodate ethno-national groups. The book assesses the opportunities and barriers civic parties encounter in the power-sharing landscape and the strategies they have used to navigate those structures. Through an in-depth examination of the case of Northern Ireland\, which is placed in dialogue with evidence from other post-conflict cases\, the book aims to elucidate the phenomenon of civic parties in deeply-divided places and their potential to contribute to post-conflict transitions. \nCera Murtagh is Assistant Professor in Irish Politics and Comparative Politics at Villanova University and Visiting Scholar in the School of Political Science and Sociology and the Moore Institute at NUI Galway in 2021-22. Her research concerns conflict and peace and gender politics\, focusing particularly on the mobilization of civic political parties and movements in deeply divided societies. Her work has been published in a number of journals including International Political Science Review and Nations and Nationalism. Dr Murtagh previously worked as Research Fellow at Queen’s University Belfast on an Economic and Social Research Council project entitled Exclusion amid Inclusion: Power-Sharing and Non-Dominant Minorities. She holds a PhD and an MSc from the University of Edinburgh and a BA from NUI Galway. She previously worked as a political journalist in Edinburgh and political researcher in the Scottish Parliament. \nRegistration\nTo attend\, please register via Eventbrite here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/beyond-the-binary-civic-parties-in-post-agreement-northern-ireland-tickets-276925891797
