SUMMARY:Translating the Landscape-one-day methodological workshop for early career researchers in the humanities\, social studies\, and visual arts
DESCRIPTION:Translating the Landscape  \n“Translating the Landscape” is a one-day methodological workshop for early career researchers in the humanities\, social studies\, and visual arts\, taking place on 18 May 2023 at the Burren College of Art’s campus in Ballyvaughan. The workshop is developed as a collaboration between the Moore Institute for Research in the Humanities and Social Studies at the University of Galway and the Burren College of Art. The objectives of the workshop are: \n\nDiscuss different ways of creating knowledge on the relation between human culture\, human languages\, and the landscape;\nExplore links between creative arts and social/cultural research to create transdisciplinary paths towards a deeper understanding of place;\nFoster reflection on the researchers’ ethical responsibilities towards human relationship with the environment.\n\nThe workshop is aimed at early career researchers (PhD candidates\, recent PhD graduates\, postdoctoral researchers) in any field of humanities and social studies. Previous knowledge or work in ecocritical/ecological approaches is not required. The workshop will encourage researchers to reflect on how ecological thought and different types of attention to the landscape can be incorporated into their methodologies. The workshop intends to provide food for thought for both the participants’ current and future research projects. \n“Translating the Landscape” will rely on expertise from the Burren College (and especially the staff from the MFA/MA in Art & Ecology)\, from the University of Galway (especially from the School of Languages and the School of Philosophy)\, and other guest speakers\, to engage participants in practical activities situated in the Burren landscape\, such as: \n\nSensory walks;\nMap-making and other creative map-based activities;\nExplorations via photography;\nGroup discussions.\n\nThrough the workshop\, we aim to generate discussions and transdisciplinary conversations between participants and practitioners on how to think ecologically in the humanities\, social studies\, and visual art. \n“Translating the landscape” is free of charge to University of Galway/Burren College students\, staff\, and recent graduates. Transportation to and from the University of Galway will be provided\, as well as lunch. \nIf you are interested\, please contact the organizers Andrea Ciribuco (andrea.ciribuco@universityofgalway.ie)\, Michela Dianetti (m.dianetti1@nuigalway.ie)\, Lucy Elvis (lucy.elvis@universityofgalway.ie)\, Eileen Hutton (ehutton@burrencollege.ie)\, Maria Roca Lizarazu (maria.rocalizarazu@universityofgalway.ie) by 28 February 2023.

SUMMARY:Living amidst conflict and insecurity
DESCRIPTION:Living amidst conflict and insecurity \nWorkshop Program  \nThis one-day research workshop at the University of Galway brings together scholars in the field – including Roger Mac Ginty (Durham University) Caitríona Dowd (Dublin City University)\, Niall Ó Dochartaigh (University of Galway)\, and Sarah Jenkins (University of Galway) – alongside Early Career Researchers from Ulster University and University College Dublin to explore the broad themes of everyday peace\, resistance and conflict in a wide range of contexts. It is organised by the Power\, Conflict & Ideologies Research Cluster of the School of Political Science and Sociology at Galway with the support of the Political Studies Association of Ireland’s Peace and Conflict Specialist Group. \nAlmost one quarter of the world’s population live in fragile\, insecure\, or conflict-affected states. Yet amidst uncertainty\, individuals\, communities\, local leaders\, and groups often develop innovative ways to navigate everyday life\, to mitigate violence\, to open channels of communication\, and to build peace. Failure to fully understand and engage with these local\, bottom-up efforts can overlook important opportunities for peace and can undermine the effectiveness of peacebuilding interventions. This event will bring together researchers from the political and social sciences to explore these dynamics in diverse contexts around the world and will examine the various avenues to peace\, justice\, and reconciliation from a range of different perspectives. \nThose interested in attending the event should register by emailing sarah.jenkins@universityofgalway.ie. \n  \nPROGRAMME (living amidst conflict may 2023) \n10am-10.30am: Registration and welcome \n10.30am-11.45am: Panel 1 – Gender\, race\, and sexualities in peace and conflict  \nChair: Niall Ó Dochartaigh \nPapers: \nCaitríona Dowd (DCU) – Gendered dimensions of hunger in peacebuilding \nMarianna Espinos Blasco (Ulster University) – Seeing gender and race in peace and security: The politics of (in)visibility in the Women\, Peace and Security agenda \nYuliang Lu (UCD) – Peace and conflict in a queer colour: A case study of how Chinese NGOs fight anti-LGBT violence \n11.45am-12.00pm: Break \n12pm-1.30pm: Panel 2: Avenues to peace and justice \nChair: Sarah Jenkins \nPapers: \nDana Guy (UCD) – From the battlefield to the battle on the feed: How do Israelis use social media to construct\, communicate and engage with alternative narratives about the conflict with the Palestinians?  \nKelsey Rhude (University of Galway) – Alternative approaches to post-conflict peace and justice: Analysing the interconnections between local justice\, peacebuilding and reconciliation in post-conflict Liberia \nNiall Ó Dochartaigh (University of Galway) – Back-channel negotiations in the Northern Ireland Conflict \n1.30pm – 2.15pm:  Lunch \n2.15-3.45pm: Panel 3: Everyday peace and conflict: representations and practices \nChair: Caitríona Dowd \nPapers: \nDave Banks (UCD) – Integrated team sport and intergroup relations in a post-conflict society: The case of club rugby in Northern Ireland \nSarah Jenkins (University of Galway) – Everyday peace and democracy: Navigating violent elections and ethnic politics in Kenya \nMichael Breslin (UCD) – Feud violence in Ireland and Northern Ireland: A sociological analysis \nMaria Guilia Molinaro Vitale (UCD) – Responsibilities of contemporary representations of war: Merlau-Ponty\, Sontag\, and Hollywood \n 3.45pm-4pm: Break \n 4pm-5.30pm: Keynote and round table: Everyday peace \nRoger Mac Ginty (Durham University): Everyday peace \n6.15pm – Book Launch:  Deniable Contact: Back-channel negotiation in Northern Ireland by Niall Ó Dochartaigh.

SUMMARY:Centre for Irish Studies Seminar: Heroes of the Gaelic World in the Digital Age: The Fionn Folklore Database
DESCRIPTION:Heroes of the Gaelic World in the Digital Age: The Fionn Folklore Database \nDr Pádraig Fhia Ó Mathúna \nYou are warmly invited to attend an in-person seminar with Dr Pádraig Fhia Ó Mathúna\, ‘The Fionn Folklore Database: Irish Myths in the Digital Age’ on Thursday 18 May. The seminar will take place in the Seminar Room\, Centre for Irish Studies\, Distillery Road. This seminar is based on Pádraig’s bilingual postdoctoral work with the Fionn Folklore Database Digital Humanities Project\, in association with Harvard University and University College Dublin. Full details are available below. \nThe Fionn Folklore Database (fionnfolklore.org) is a collaborative project between Harvard University and the Irish Government’s Emigrant Support Scheme. The site contains the details of approximately 3\,500 orally collected tales\, poems\, songs and proverbs relating to Fionn mac Cumhaill and the legendary Fianna. In addition to the stories themselves\, the site contains a number of educational tools\, including glossaries\, character lists\, digital maps\, and summaries\, which help to make these legends accessible for a new generation. In this talk\, project researcher Pádraig Fhia Ó Mathúna will provide insight into the site’s background and resources\, conveying how everyone from researchers to teachers\, writers\, and the general public can benefit from this innovative digital humanities initiative.  \nDr Pádraig Fhia Ó Mathúna is currently a Postdoctoral Researcher with the Fionn Cycle Folklore Project with Harvard University and University College Dublin\,  and a researcher for the ÚRSCÉAL digital humanities project based in the University of Galway.   \nA former Fulbright Scholar at the University of Galway\, he was a Caspersen Doctoral Fellow at Drew University\, and was awarded the Tadhg Foley MA Fellowship from the University of Galway\, where he completed his MA in Irish Studies (2013). His book ‘From a Land Beyond the Wave’: Connecticut’s Irish Rebels\, 1798-1916 (2017) won the Connecticut League of History Organizations’ Publication Prize (2018). His research focuses primarily on the interactions between Irish-American nationalists\, indigenous peoples\, and other ethno-political groups in the North American Borderlands and the Caribbean during the mid-nineteenth century. As a Fulbright scholar in the archives at University of Galway\, Pádraig conducted research on the writings of nineteenth century Irish emigrant Eoin Ua Cathail\, and  published a critical volume of the translated works of Irish language writer Eoin Ua Cathail\, entitled Recovering an Irish Voice from the American Frontier: The Prose Writings of Eoin Ua Cathail in 2021.

SUMMARY:Beyond ‘victim’ and ‘perpetrator’ working in the grey zone of the modern academy: the paradoxical ‘problem spaces’ of implicated post-colonial scholars in exile
DESCRIPTION:Beyond ‘victim’ and ‘perpetrator’ working in the grey zone of the modern academy: the paradoxical ‘problem spaces’ of implicated post-colonial scholars in exile \nJo Dillabough\, Professor\, Sociology & Sociology of Education \nIf self-reflexive critical postcolonial intellectuals view themselves as implicated in machinations of power beyond their control\, then arguably such recognition should produce political subjectivities and political actions that seek to operate beyond the confines of the academy. This recognition itself would generate a striving towards alternative forms of knowledge production\, ’epistemic attachments’ and ‘public belongings’ which engage diverse communities (academic\, social\, political\, activist) driven by a desire to address global injustices. Drawing upon interview data collected from Turkish and Syrian scholars living in exile in Europe and the UK\, I will discuss the different ways in which implication is navigated by exiled scholars who carry first-hand experience of conflict\, detainment\, and forced displacement in authoritarian regimes. Revealing the different ‘problem spaces’ the postcolonial exilic intellectual inhabits and the temporalities of injustice they grapple with in navigating power\, crises\, and the modern academy\, I seek to demonstrate more concretely the conceptual specificity and analytical purchase of the ‘implicated postcolonial critical intellectual’ —in contradistinction from the institutionalised authorial assertions made by those who live within the governing rationales of the ’reasoned’ academy. An important intervention is to therefore explore\, albeit indirectly\, the ways in which intellectuals reveal HE experiences of conflict through the figure of the exilic scholar whilst simultaneously confronting the bio-politically driven nation-building forces of university life and as a living embodiment of wider transnational ‘imperial blueprints’ (see Arendt\, 1950). In so doing\, a number of questions arise for us as researchers. How can such moments\, captured through memory research in HE\, help us to identify the central mediating structural and affective relations between modern state institutions driven by authoritarianism – in this case HE and conflict – and the politics of memory work (see Al-Azmeh\, 2021)? What might be the associated dilemmas emerging from research seeking to expose human experience derived from spaces of exile through HE and in articulating a sense of meaning through wounded memory? And how do we re-represent memory of ‘totalitarian crimes against humanity’ in relational\, dialogical and multi-directional ways (see Rothberg\, 2015) rather than as a singular or essentialised story of a ‘national tragedy’ and a revered sacred identity in HE\, thereby challenging ‘monumentalizing victim narratives’ or\, as Nietzsche claimed in a much earlier historical moment\, as a critical historiography of a ‘monumental crises of humanity’\, modernity and its associated modern institutions (see Felman\, 2001). \nProfessor Jo-Anne Dillabough\, University of Cambridge \nJo-Anne Dillabough is Professor in Sociology and Sociology of Education\, Faculty of Education\, University of Cambridge. She has been a visiting scholar at universities in Australia\, Argentina\, Norway\, Finland\, Italy\, Portugal and Sweden and was the former David Lam Chair in Multicultural Education\, UBC. Recent chapter and article publications include:  Higher Education\, Violent Modernities and the ‘Global Present’: The Paradox of Politics and New Populist Imaginaries in HE\, Authorial power\, authoritarianism\, and exiled intellectuals: Syria and Turkey (with Al-Azmeh\, forthcoming) and Identity as Other and the Promise of the Narrative Imagination in Educational Theorising: Arendt and Ricoeur  (Bloomsbury\, 2020\, editors Gunter\, H. &  Veck\, W.)\, Her work focuses largely on the spatialisation of youth disadvantage in ‘global cities’; sociology of education; urban youth histories\, race and colonial transformations; history and memory studies and education; and Higher Education\, State Crises and Populist Imaginaries (Syria\, Turkey\, South Africa). She is lead investigator (with Elizabeth Buckner\, Susan Robertson & Liz Maber) on a large 2020 ESRC grant entitled Higher Education\, Political Crises and States of Conflict. Dillabough is currently working on a monograph on the work of Hannah Arendt and 21st century populist imaginaries.

SUMMARY:'The Sport in European Cinema Database: From Rogues of the Turf (UK 1910) to Russian Sport Cinema'
DESCRIPTION:‘The Sport in European Cinema Database: From Rogues of the Turf (UK 1910) to Russian Sport Cinema’  \nwith Dr. Seán Crosson \n Wednesday June 7\, 6pm (Irish time) / 7pm (CET) \n  \nAll welcome at: uvic-cat.zoom.us/j/96387596986 \nSport cinema has been among the most enduring and popular genres within American cinema; however\, limited research has been undertaken as yet of the European experience. Though a less prominent feature of European cinema\, the European sports film has had a long history dating back to the earliest Lumière brothers productions. This paper provides some initial findings from the research undertaken of European sport cinema as part of the establishment of an online database on the subject – now available at https://sportandfilm.eu/. The paper argues for the importance of these depictions as a significant component of European cinema providing sometimes unique insights into the development of sport and society across the continent. Some salient points regarding sport in European film (and the development of the genre) will be identified\, with particular attention paid to the increasing importance of sport cinema within the Russian context and its role in grooming a domestic audience for the prevailing political discourse in that country\, and military action in Ukraine.

SUMMARY:Open Scholarship Café: E-textbook emergency: OER to the rescue?
DESCRIPTION:Open Scholarship Café: E-textbook emergency: OER to the rescue? In-Person / Online\n\nStudents in Galway and elsewhere are at an ever-sharpening point of an affordability crisis that threatens their education. The fatalistic common-place that ‘students don’t buy their textbooks’ or required readings conceals the fact that among those who ‘don’t’ are those who don’t because they can’t – and the latter can only be growing in number. Students’ ability to purchase textbooks declines as affordable accommodation options shrink and the price of groceries grow and grow; students who can’t access education resources are at a disadvantage. Can Open Educational Resources (OER) help make sure that all students have access to essential learning materials like textbooks? \nAmong their other uses – they make use of open licenses allowing them to be revised and remixed – OER are free to use and redistribute\, suggesting themselves as possible strategies in addressing overlapping crises of affordability in higher education. The COVID-era shift to online\, for example\, included a rapid shift towards ebooks from print textbooks. While useful in overcoming the limitations of print\, this shift has exposed weaknesses in prevailing models of ebook provision – including runaway inflation in terms of ebook and ebook platform pricing and license terms that are not favourable in terms of providing reliable\, equitable access to students. These factors have put pressure on university libraries and their budgets\, with attendant knock-on effects for staff and students who depend on these learning resources for their studies and for their student success. \nThe speakers:\n1. Ronán Kennedy (University of Galway Library\, Head of Collections): #ebooksos – a primer \nThe academic ebook market has long been a cause for concern due to market manipulation\, excessive pricing and exploitation of events such as COVID-19. #ebooksos was conceived as a call for action to investigate the academic ebook market and has gathered international momentum. This paper will give a brief overview of the rationale behind #ebooksos\, as well as offering suggestions for alternative routes to academic content provision in teaching\, learning and research. \n2. Marguerita McGovern (University of Galway Lecturer\, School of Political Science & Sociology): ‘Lights\, camera\, action!’ Extending the brief. – The use of videos and podcasts within eBooks. \nThe making of an E-book series for Social Work students that helps them to see beyond the written text and experience the spoken word of professionals in their field of expertise. \n3. Jacqueline Murphy (University of Galway\, Lecturer School of Political Science and Sociology): Opening the Sociological Imagination \nCreating an open textbook for first-year sociological students. The aim of this project is to use education technology to create an accessible and interactive learning object.  This talk will focus on two interconnected themes- the capacity of OER to promote equity and inclusivity in Irish Education whilst being mindful of the importance of building critical analysis skills so students can question\, evaluate and analyze the sea of information available to them. \n\nRelated LibGuide: Open Educational Resources (OER) by Kristopher Meen \n\n\nRegistration\nRegistration is required. There are 25 in-person seats available. There are 30 online seats available. \nRegistration TypeFor events that support both registration types\, registration must be for either the in-person location or online. \n\nIn-Person Registration\nOnline Registration\n\n\n\nBEGIN REGISTRATION

SUMMARY:Open Scholarship Café: Predatory publishing - How to identify questionable journals
DESCRIPTION:Open Scholarship Café: Predatory publishing – How to identify questionable journals In-Person / Online\n\nThis is a hybrid event! We would like to meet you in person in the Hardiman Building\, G010 (on ground floor) where we will finish with a free slice of fresh vegetarian pizza! But if you can’t join us on campus you are very welcome to join us online for the presentation and discussion. Please choose below if you join us in person or online. We need to know for catering purposes! \n\nPublish or Perish! This is the world many researchers find themselves in. Questionable and sometimes fraudulent actors try to take advantage of the pressure on authors by offering to publish their research for a fee\, but without the proper checks and processes expected from academic journals. These outlets are labelled predatory journals\, and they seem to multiply in number year on year! They are seen by many as a genuine threat to the Open Access movement because they weaken the credibility of genuine OA journals. \nThe aim of this Open Scholarship Café is to look at the phenonomen of predatory publishing in a critical way. Is this real threat to academics or are we in a stage of “moral panic”? We will look at how to detect signs of predatory behaviour and how you can check if a journal adheres to academic standards. One of the tools we will look at is the Think Check Submit website. \nThe Café also aims to draw on the knowledge and experiences of the participants with regards to publishing. To draw on real world examples please forward emails of potentially predatory journals to Hardy (hardy.schwamm@universityofgalway.ie) in advance of the Café so we can look at them jointly. \nThe facilitator:\nHardy Schwamm is the Open Scholarship Librarian at University of Galway Library. Hardy is a member of the IReL Steering Group that negotioates Open Access agreements with publishers. Hardy is also interested in how the scholarly communications landscape is going to develop given the technological and policy changes of the last few years. This is the first time he is organising a sessin looking at the phenomenon of predatory publishing and he hopes participants will share experiences with him. \n\nRelated LibGuide: Publishing your research by Rosie Dunne \nRegistration\n\n\nRegistration is required.

SUMMARY:Social Network Analysis of Career Trajectories in Polish Literature After 1989
DESCRIPTION:Talk by Visiting CLS INFRA Fellow \nDr Maciej Maryl \n Social Network Analysis of Career Trajectories in Polish Literature After 1989 \nThe project aims to provide insights into literary reception of the Polish authors after the cultural transition of 1989 by applying social network analysis (SNA) methods to analyse relationships mined from bibliographical and textual data. The project will produce several case studies on the material derived from Polish Literary Bibliography (PBL) and the Corpus of Literary Discourse 1822-2022 (KDL). The case studies will employ network analysis and visualisation techniques to study the relationships between the actors of literary life and provide data-stories of career trajectories and success (or failure) patterns of particular writers (with a focus on Olga Tokarczuk). \nDr Maciej Maryl is Assistant Professor and founding Director of the Digital Humanities Centre at the Institute of Literary Research of the Polish Academy of Sciences. He is a Visiting Translational Access Fellow on the CLS INFRA project. \nFor further details\, please contact Emily Ridge emily.ridge@universityofgalway.ie or Justin Tonra justin.tonra@universityofgalway.ie.

SUMMARY:Geography Research Seminar on Culture and Sustainability
DESCRIPTION:Geography Research Seminar on Culture and Sustainability  \nProfessor Janet Stephenson\, Otago University\, New Zealand  \n2pm Wednesday July 12th\, AC113 Geography Seminar room   \n  \nHow does culture relate to sustainability? Janet Stephenson draws from her new book Culture and Sustainability to show how cultural analysis can help with sustainability endeavours in research and policy.  She introduces the cultures framework\, a well-tested approach for analysing culture at any scale and in any context.  Using examples of its diverse applications around the world\, Stephenson illustrates how culture can in some circumstances be highly resistant to change\, and in other circumstances can change rapidly. Cultural analysis can assist with policy development and reveal why some policy interventions have unintended consequences. Understanding sustainability problems through a cultural lens can bring new insights into the potential for transformational change. \nBio \nJanet Stephenson is a research professor at the Centre for Sustainability\, an interdisciplinary research centre at the University of Otago\, New Zealand.  A social scientist\, she is interested in the challenges of transitioning to a sustainable future and the influence of culture in seemingly intractable problems.  Much of her research in recent years has focused on energy and transport issues as well as the challenges of climate change adaptation for place-based communities.  Her recent book Culture and Sustainability draws on one-and-a-half decades of research to offer theoretical and analytical insights into the role of culture in sustainability transitions.

SUMMARY:Irish Performance and Social Change: Politics and Aesthetics
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Ciara Murphy and Dr. Emer O’Toole have both recently published books on the relationship between Irish theatre and social change. Dr. Murphy’s book encapsulates The Troubles\, the Peace Process\, Second-Wave Feminism\, the Celtic Tiger\, social revolution\, and the COVID-19 pandemic. It uses lenses of place\, performance form\, and social context to complicate narratives of nationhood. Dr. O’Toole’s study ranges from the decriminalisation of homosexuality in 1993 to the repeal of the 8th amendment in 2018. It has an aesthetic focus\, asking what happens to beauty\, meaning\, and affect when artists’ aims are activist. \nThis event will begin as a conversation between the authors\, then open up to a broader discussion with attendees. All welcome. If you’d like to read some of the texts beforehand but don’t have access\, please get in touch with Dr. O’Toole at emer.otoole@concordia.ca. \nDr Emer O’Toole\, Associate Professor\, School of Irish Studies\, Concordia University\, Montreal. \nDr Ciara Murphy\, Assistant Lecturer\, Department of Creative Arts\, Media\, and Music\, Dundalk Institute of Technology\, Dundalk.

SUMMARY:Good Practice in terms of Developing Educational Provision and Teaching in a Minoritised Language at University Level: Examples from Ireland and Wales
DESCRIPTION:Good Practice in terms of Developing Educational Provision and Teaching in a Minoritised Language at University Level: Examples from Ireland and Wales \nIn this presentation\, I will share best practice in terms of developing educational provision and teaching in a minoritised language at university level. The good practice discussed in this presentation emerge from focus groups that were conducted with lecturers and students in Acadamh na hOllscolaíochta Gaeilge as well as other universities in Ireland and Wales. \nI will discuss good practice in terms of encouraging students to study in a minoritised language; developing provision and teaching in a minoritised language; supporting students and marking assessments that are presented in a minoritised language and normalizing the use of minoritised languages among students. \nBiography \nDr Siôn Llewelyn Jones is a lecturer in the School of Social Sciences\, who is responsible for developing and delivering Welsh medium educational provision in the School of Social Sciences. In addition to carrying out research exploring the experiences of lecturers and students of Welsh-medium and Irish-medium provision in higher education\, Siôn has also conducted other research on the Welsh language and education including the impact of Welsh-medium schooling on young people’s aspirations. \nThe talk will be streamed simultaneously on Zoom: https://nuigalway-ie.zoom.us/j/96096037513

SUMMARY:University of Galway History Research Seminar: Documenting the History of Popular Religious Print in Early Modern Italy: Printed prayers\, c.1460-1660
DESCRIPTION:University of Galway History Research Seminar \nDocumenting the History of Popular Religious Print in Early Modern Italy: \nPrinted Prayers\, c.1460-1660\nDr Katherine Tycz\nUniversity of Galway \n  \nAbstract \nIn this paper\, I will discuss the preliminary outcomes of my Printed Prayers in Italy\, c. 1460–1660 research project\, which has been undertaken during an Irish Research Council Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of Galway (2021–2023). This presentation will explore how this project’s goal of aggregating cheap devotional pamphlets\, broadsheets\, and popular prints from early modern Italy and analysing them as a corpus reveals information about the production\, distribution\, and consumption of cheap religious print in early modern Italy.  \nPopular pious print has thus far received less scholarly attention than elite devotional books and theological treatises from Italy in this period. However\, scholarship of Italian book history has recently revived interest in exploring the ephemeral print production of the early modern print world. My research focuses on those that were devotional in nature\, a subset that has still received less comprehensive attention. To-date\, I have catalogued more than 350 examples of printed prayers and have performed a close analysis of about half of these examples. Many of the examples catalogued do not include full bibliographic information regarding printers\, publication places\, or dates. This presentation will highlight how my Printed Prayers project’s approach of comprehensively documenting these printed prayers in a database coupled with close material\, visual\, and textual analysis of textual contents\, typefaces\, page design\, and images allows us to better understand their place in book history and early modern culture.  \nSpeaker Biography\nKatherine Tycz is an Irish Research Council Postdoctoral Fellow in the Discipline of Italian at the University of Galway\, where she is based in the Moore Institute. Katherine’s interdisciplinary research engages with early modern Italian devotional practices and material culture\, focusing on the material text. From 2018-2019\, Katherine was an Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow at the Wolf Humanities Center at the University of Pennsylvania. Katherine earned her PhD in Italian from the University of Cambridge in 2018.She has taught Italian literature\, the history of medieval and Renaissance religion\, and the history of material culture and decorative arts. Katherine has also worked on curatorial and collections research projects for permanent collections and for exhibitions in museums in the US and UK. She has published on Italian decorative arts and material culture\, women in early modern Italy\, early modern devotional objects and practices\, print culture\, and daily life in Renaissance Europe.   \nRegistration\nThis is an in-person event\, in Room G010\, Hardiman Research Building\, University of Galway (ground floor).

SUMMARY:University of Galway History Research Seminar: Edward Carpenter’s Irish World:  Socialism\, Spiritualism and Queer Sexuality in Ireland\, 1890s-1920s
DESCRIPTION:University of Galway History Research Seminar \nDr Maurice J. Casey (Queen’s University Belfast) \nEdward Carpenter’s Irish World:  \nSocialism\, Spiritualism and Queer Sexuality in Ireland\, 1890s-1920s  \n\nAbstract\nWas there a sexual revolution within the Irish revolution? While recent work has sought to uncover experiences of queer sexuality in early twentieth century Ireland\, less has been said about how Irish intellectuals and political radicals discussed and imagined sexual modernity. Ireland’s ‘revolutionary generation’ emerged precisely as terms like ‘homosexual’\, ‘lesbian’ and ‘invert’ began to circulate within closed intellectual networks in Europe and beyond. By focusing on the Irish people and migrant intellectuals within Ireland who encountered the works of the socialist sage of sexuality Edward Carpenter (1844-1929)\, this talk will explore how new conceptions of human sexuality were discussed and encountered within Ireland in the decades before and after independence. \nThe protagonists of this talk are a collection of largely obscure and loosely interlinked figures. They include Chester A. Arthur III\, the assertively queer grandson of a US President who joined the Dublin republican social elite during the Irish Civil War\, Lily Kirkpatrick\, an Irish artist who fell in love with the English feminist Edith Ellis in 1890s Cornwall\, and Arthur Kingsley Porter\, a Harvard academic who grappled with his sexuality in his adopted home of Donegal in the late 1920s. Alongside these central characters\, we will discuss their Irish friends\, among them many much better known figures\, including Charlotte Despard\, Ella Young\, George Russell (‘AE’) and Jim Larkin. Following these interconnected lives\, this talk traces the contours of an ephemeral space in early twentieth century Ireland where queer identities were discussed and even accepted. \nSpeaker Biography\nMaurice J. Casey is a Research Fellow in the School of History\, Anthropology\, Philosophy and Politics at Queen’s University Belfast\, where he works on the AHRC-funded project ‘Queer Northern Ireland: Sexuality before Liberation’. His first book Hotel Lux: An Intimate History of World Revolution will be published by Footnote Press in late 2024. Exploring the social circle of an Irish woman who lived in a Moscow hotel in the 1920s\, the book traces a 20th century story that lies at the intersection of Irish history\, queer history and the history of international communism. \nRegistration \nThis is an online-only event\, streamed via Zoom: https://universityofgalway-ie.zoom.us/j/91293716806. \nTo attend\, please register at: https://forms.office.com/e/nNfYbQz28C \nAll are welcome! \nThis talk is part of the University of Galway History Seminar series. \nImage: Chester A. Arthur III\, queer grandson of a US President\, on a horse\, outside a cottage destroyed by “the ‘Tans”\, in Kerry\, during the Civil War.
