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: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). For those of you not able to attend in person\, the talk will also be streamed on Zoom: https://universityofgalway-ie.zoom.us/j/98858688716. To attend via Zoom\, please register at: https://forms.office.com/e/2vsTD6QxRE. \nThis seminar is organised jointly with the Centre for the Study of Religion at the Moore Institute\, University of Galway.  \nThe talk will be preceded at 3.30pm by a reception to mark the beginning of the new academic year. All are welcome! \nA copy of the full seminar programme for Semester 1\, 2023-24\, is available here: University_Of_Galway_History_Seminar_2023-24_Semester_01. \nImage: Detail from Boekverkoper\, Simon Guillain (II)\, after Annibale Carracci (etching\, 1646)\, Rijksmuseum: https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/en/collection/RP-P-2015-26-926.

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.

SUMMARY:Open Scholarship Café - Open Access Publishing
DESCRIPTION:Open Access Publishing – everything you need to know In-Person / Online\n\nOpen Scholarship Café – Open Access Publishing\nIn recent years\, the rapidly evolving world of scholarly communication has been subjected to several divisive issues\, but none as hotly debated as the transition to Open Access publishing. It seems to be a good idea but also a bit daunting and you might have heard about large fees in order to publish Open Access? And how is this useful for you as a researcher and author? If these are the questions you are asking yourself then this hybrid Open Scholarship Café (in-person & on MS Teams) is for you! \nOpen Access is an academic publishing model which makes research freely available to read\, avoiding subscriptions or paywalls. Open Access comes in many flavours and this session will focus on the Library’s recent Open Access agreements (also called transformative agreements) with a number of publishers that allow you as the author to publish Open Access without cost to you. \nNo previous knowledge or publishing experience is needed for this session! The University of Galway Open Scholarship Librarian Hardy Schwamm will introduce the rationale and process of these Open Access agreements\, and the context in which these agreements have been developed. We will also look briefly at Green Open Access and how you can publish your research using our institutional repository ARAN. \nAt the end of this session you will: \n\nUnderstand the need for Open Access publishing\nKnow how to benefit from the Open Access agreements that are available to you\nBe familiar with the options that Green Open Access provides\n\nThis hybrid Open Scholarship Café will be for PhD students\, early career researchers\, researchers who recently joined the University of Galway and everyone who wants to find out more about Open Access. \nOpen Scholarship Cafés are organised by the Library of the University of Galway in partnership with the Open Scholarship Community Galway. \nImage used by Chaosheng Zhang. \n\nRelated LibGuide: Open Access Publishing by Trish Finnan \nRegistration\nRegistration is required.

SUMMARY:'On Constellations of Populism’
DESCRIPTION:‘On Constellations of Populism’  \nOliver Simpson (Lancaster University)  \nOne of the consistently slippery and illusive aspects of populism for social and political research is specifying exactly what the term designates. Attempts to define populism as a political ideology often leave one with a definition so broad it seems to apply to all politics\, or a definition so narrow it can be undermined with a few empirical examples. To be sure\, populism is a highly politicized term\, often used by apologists for the status quo who claim populism is an aberration of the “normal” operations of democratic politics.  The use of the term populism to conjure up the image of a dangerous and regressive mob presenting an external threat to the internal order ironically mirrors what is generally understood to be the populist framing of politics: to find an external enemy (refugees\, immigrants\, the poor) to which all social problems can be attributed. In this respect populism can be simultaneously attributed to the exterior and interior of politics today. In this context\, rather than trying to resolve the paradoxes\, ambiguities and indistinctions of populism as a signifier\, I instead focus on and intensify these very inconsistencies and ambiguities as a productive feature for thinking populisms multiple instantiations across a range of historical\, intellectual\, and literary milieus. I argue populism can be understood as a constellation of concepts which are as follows: perversion\, superstition\, carnival\, spectacle\, sovereignty\, the masses. My use of the term constellations I take in part from Walter Benjamin’s introduction to The Origin of German Tragic Drama in which he argues that in order to grasp an idea which cannot be directly represented one must explore the concepts that gather themselves around this idea (Benjamin 1995:37). Constellations then have their actual contents\, the key concepts and a virtual excess\, the idea of populism they animate\, mobilise and refract depending on their proximities to one another within a given context. Populism is the virtual idea and the constellations of concepts I develop throughout the thesis are a map through which this idea can be understood and framed in a manner that is not reducible to the deadlock I outlined above characteristic of the contemporary political situation and the meaning of populism within it. \nAll welcome!

SUMMARY:University of Galway History Research Seminar: Ireland in the Ottoman press\, 1914-1918
DESCRIPTION:University of Galway History Research Seminar \nIreland in the Ottoman press\, 1914-1918  \nDr Merve Doğan Kader \nAbstract\nIn this study the news about Ireland in the Ottoman press between 1914-1918\, that is\, during the First World War\, is analysed. In the first months of 1914\, it is seen that the Curragh Incident was reported in detail in the Ottoman newspapers. After the outbreak of the war\, the press of the Ottoman state\, which was one of the Central Powers\, included news about Britain and the Entente states\, which were its enemies.  Therefore\, both the Home Rule Bill and other events in Ireland were reported in the newspapers at the end of 1914 and throughout 1915. It is observed that the most news about Ireland during the war appeared in 1916. The reason for this was the Easter Rising in Ireland.  Ottoman newspapers covered every detail about the Easter Rising and supported the Irish in this matter. Throughout 1917 and 1918\, the rise of Sinn Fein following the Easter Rising was frequently emphasised and the measures taken by the British on the island were highly criticised. \nSpeaker Biography\nDr Merve Doğan Kader is a lecturer in History at Biruni University. She completed her PhD at Celal Bayar University in 2021. She has written in Turkish and in English on Irish relations with the Ottoman Empire\, including an article (with Seán Patrick Smyth) in History Ireland (2020) on Kemalist support for the Irish War of Independence. \nRegistration\nThis is an in-person event\, in Room G010\, Hardiman Research Building\, University of Galway (ground floor). For those of you not able to attend in person\, the talk will also be streamed on Zoom: https://universityofgalway-ie.zoom.us/j/92995054484. \nTo attend via Zoom\, please register at: https://forms.office.com/e/T6uHWQeJvu \nThis talk is part of the University of Galway History Seminar series and organised jointly with the Centre for the Study of Religion at the Moore Institute. \nImage: Detail from Ralph Stockman Tarr and Frank Morton McMurry\, New Introductory Geography (MacMillan\, 1916)\, p. 152\, via Wikimedia Commons: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:1916_political_map_of_Europe.jpg

SUMMARY:World Crime Fiction and Comparison: Back to the Future
DESCRIPTION:Guest Lecture: Thursday 5th of October at 5 p.m. in THB-G010 \nWorld Crime Fiction and Comparison: Back to the Future \nStewart King. Monash University \n  \nAbstract \nThe transnational turn in literary studies has transformed the field of crime fiction\, challenging the hegemony of British and American models as the defining features of the genre. The increasing transnationalisation of the field has occurred through studies on discrete national traditions\, postcolonial and “international” crime fiction and\, most recently\, through the application of a world literature framework. While these studies have taught us much about the situated practice of crime fiction worldwide\, the circulation and translation of specific texts as well as the historical and ongoing dialogues between writers and texts across national\, cultural\, linguistic and temporal borders\, there are still important questions to be answered\, specifically how we engage with\, understand and incorporate different crime fiction traditions within a genre that is still largely characterised by British and American works. This article argues that in the shift from national to world literature studies\, crime fiction scholarship has to a large extent skipped over comparative literary approaches and that it is precisely these approaches that can help us to more fully comprehend the diverse practice of this global genre. \nBio: Stewart King is an Associate Professor in the School of Languages\, Literatures\, Cultures and Linguistics at Monash University\, Australia\, and is an elected Fellow of the Australian Academy of Humanities. Originally trained in Spanish and Catalan literary studies\, since 2013 he has pioneered the study of crime fiction as world literature. His contributions to crime fiction studies include the monograph\, Murder in the Multinational State: Crime Fiction from Spain (Routledge\, 2019) and the co-edited collections: Criminal Moves: Modes of Mobility in Crime Fiction (Liverpool UP\, 2019)\, The Routledge Companion to Crime Fiction (2020)\, winner of the 2020 ICFA Book prize\, and The Cambridge Companion to World Crime Fiction (2022). He is currently the co-editor of Crime Fiction Studies (Edinburgh UP).

SUMMARY:University of Galway History Research Seminar: Writing Haughey: Ethics and Dilemmas in Political Biography
DESCRIPTION:University of Galway History Research Seminar  \nWriting Haughey: Ethics and Dilemmas in Political Biography \nProfessor Gary Murphy (Dublin City University) \nAbstract\nOn his death in June 2006\, Charles Haughey was little mourned. Beyond his circle of family and close friends his death was met largely with indifference by the Irish public. Yet during his political life Haughey rarely engendered public indifference. Instead\, he inspired feelings of devotion and hatred amongst his followers and enemies. The roots of his success and failure in politics – his charisma\, his intelligence\, his ruthlessness\, his secrecy – rendered almost impossible any objective evaluation of his life and work. In late 2021 Gary Murphy published a widely acclaimed\, if at times criticised\, biography\, of Haughey. Based on exclusive access to the Haughey archives\, held at Dublin City University\, and interviews with over a hundred of Haughey’s contemporaries\, it offered a major reassessment of one of Ireland’s most significant and controversial politicians. Containing new information on almost every aspect of Haughey’s life\, the book provided an encompassing view of a man of prodigious gifts and fatal flaws. In this paper Gary Murphy explores and reassess Haughey’s role at heart of Irish political life for over three and a half decades\, his legacy in the intervening years\, and examines the difficulties and opportunities of writing authorised biography. \nSpeaker Biography\nGary Murphy is Professor of Politics in the School of Law and Government at Dublin City University. He has held visiting professorships at the University of North Carolina\, Chapel Hill\, and the University of Notre Dame. He has published extensively on modern Irish politics and regularly appears in the print and broadcast media. Among his books are: In Search of the Promised Land; The Politics of Post War Ireland\, Electoral Competition in Ireland since 1987: The Politics of Triumph and Despair\, and most recently Haughey\, the best-selling biography of the former Fianna Fáil leader\, and Taoiseach\, Charles J.

SUMMARY:Flow Art\, Space and Wellbeing
DESCRIPTION:Flow Art\, Space and Wellbeing \nDr Heta Mulari\, Tampere University\, heta.mulari@tuni.fi\nMA Maaria Hartman\, Tampere University\, maaria.hartman@tuni.fi \nZoom link: https://universityofgalway-ie.zoom.us/j/97532199773?pwd=TG41bUxLUGNWNzNpNDJwNzRXdnp5dz09 \n“You learn to see the world as a playground. Instead of everyone trying to guide us to follow certain routes. What if you just break the rules\, go all over the place\, and do handstands in a weird place?” Luna 24 yo \n“Yep\, I feel that there’s a will to spread that kind of state of mind\, a way of thinking that we’re all equal. And that it’s important to respect life and other people\, it is visible there.” Linda 34 yo \n  \nHow is flow art used to playfully challenge and rethink urban and rural spaces? What kind of communities are built around the artform? And further\, how is ‘flow’ linked to creating individual and collective wellbeing? \nThis presentation will provide an understanding of how Finnish flow art communities occupy and transform different urban and rural spaces with the means of their embodied and collective art. These creative and situational take-overs include\, for example\, park rehearsals\, demonstrations\, forest festivals and planned as well as spontaneous performances. Further\, flow art is deeply connected to community building and creating wellbeing. \nWe understand flow art as an embodied\, movement-based art discipline\, which makes use of several props familiar from circus\, such as sticks\, fans\, hoops\, and poi. Flow art is closely intertwined into music\, especially rave\, psychedelic trance and electronic music in general. Further\, the communities shared an understanding of the importance of achieving a state of flow (Csikszentmihalyi 1990)\, through constant interaction between the prop\, movement\, music\, and one’s own body. They frequently linked ‘flow’ to\, not only personal wellbeing but critical potential for wider change\, including positive impact on communities and the society (Helne 2021; Vasileva & Honkatukia 2022). \nThe presentation is based on ethnographic fieldwork in flow art communities including participatory observation and interviews with the flow artists. The participants of the research are young adults and adults\, many of whom are active performers in led and fire art groups. In terms of theory\, the presentation is located at the intersection of urban studies (Lefebvre 1974/1991; Georgiou 2013; Tani & Pyyry 2017)\, performance studies and studies connected with art in urban spaces (see\, e.g. Meehan et al 2021; Järviluoma et al 2021) and studies on wellbeing in contemporary societies (Helne 2021; Vasileva & Honkatukia 2022). \nDr Heta Mulari is a post-doctoral researcher at the Unit of Social Research\, Faculty of Social Sciences\, Tampere University\, Finland. She is currently working in the research project Into the Flow (2021-2023)\, funded by the Kone Foundation\, which focuses on flow art in Finland from the perspectives of space\, community\, and subculture. Mulari’s current research interests include youth and subculture studies\, circus studies\, urban studies\, and feminist ethnography. She is co-editor of Nordic Girlhoods – New Perspectives and Outlooks\, Palgrave Macmillan\, 2017 (with Bodil Formark and Myry Voipio). Her publications also include: ‘Emotional encounters and young feminine choreographies in the Helsinki Metro’\, Girlhood Studies\, 2020; and ‘“Everyone here is willing to teach each other”: Negotiations over hippie culture and resistance in Helsinki-based flow art community’\, Journal of Youth Studies\, 2021. \nMA Maaria Hartman is a project researcher at the Unit of Social Research\, Faculty of Social Sciences\, Tampere University\, Finland. She is currently working in the research project Into the Flow (2021-2023)\, funded by the Kone Foundation\, which focuses on flow art in Finland from the perspectives of space\, community\, and subculture. Hartman’s previous research include\, for example\, a research on young peoples’ art experiences (‘Young people’s experiences of art visits and cultural participation in the Art testers campaign’\, Finnish Youth Research Society\, 2020\, Sofia Laine & Maaria Hartman). Hartman’s current research interests include feminist ethnography\, subcultural art and folklore\, alternative sports\, ways of resistance and different ways of living youth and adulthood/.

SUMMARY:Irish Studies Seminar Series: “We were convinced that we would be cowboys when we grew up”
DESCRIPTION:Irish Studies Seminar Series  \nSemester 1\, 2023-24 (in person and on zoom)  \nWe are delighted to invite you to the first seminar of our Irish Studies Seminar Series for this academic year\, and to welcome back Dr Pádraig Fhia Ó Mathúna who will speak on his new IRC postdoctoral research project\, at 4pm Thursday 12th October\, Seminar Room\, Centre for Irish Studies\, School of Geography\, Archaeology and Irish Studies\, 4 Distillery Road\, University of Galway. \nThe title of Dr Mathúna’s paper is\, “We were convinced that we would be cowboys when we grew up”: Consuming the American West in Ireland\, 1922-2022\, and in this seminar he will explore many of the core themes associated with his wider project\, while also discussing source works and relaying some early research findings to date. Please see further details below. \nAs an update for our Irish Studies community of scholars at home and overseas\, all of our Irish Studies Seminars will be run this year as hybrid events. And while we are delighted to welcome you to join us in person here on campus\, we are particularly delighted to have those of you who may be unable to travel to Galway to join us in our zoom room on the day. Please find the zoom link for the seminar here: https://universityofgalway-ie.zoom.us/j/96178601570 \nSeminar Abstract:  \nThe mass consumption and reception of the popular culture of the American West began in Ireland almost simultaneously with its rise in the US during the mid-nineteenth century. These early interests grew exponentially over the course of the twentieth century\, bearing major influence on Irish conceptions of race and gender\, even as other forms of American mass culture like jazz were shunned as being subversive. American Western shows\, literature\, music\, films\, and games were readily absorbed into the Irish mainstream\, and in many instances\, fused with Irish culture to create radical new transnational forms in both Irish and English. The continued place of the American West within the Irish cultural landscape is evidenced by contemporary Irish western films and literature\, the prominence of TG4’s ‘weekly western’\, and the unavoidable popularity of Garth Brooks. \nUtilising the methodological frameworks of reception theory\, this is the first major study to trace the consumption of popular American Western culture in Ireland from the post-independence period to the ever changing\, and increasingly multicultural\, society of today. Owing to the complexities of Ireland’s colonial past and the continued conflict on the island during the twentieth century\, the reception of American Western culture differed significantly from other societies\, offering unique perspectives on narratives of violence\, masculinities\, displacement\, and power. More recently\, consumption of the “new” or “post-western” has helped shape views on environmental and cultural conservation in the Irish West. \nDr. Pádraig Fhia Ó Mathúna is a Government of Ireland Postdoctoral Fellow based at the Centre for Irish Studies\, School of Geography\, Archaeology and Irish Studies\, University of Galway (2023-25). For the past two years\, he served as a researcher on the Harvard-based Fionn Folklore Database. A former Fulbright scholar\, in 2021 he published a critical volume of the translated works of Irish language writer Eoin Ua Cathail with UNT Press\, entitled Recovering an Irish Voice from the American Frontier: The Prose Writings of Eoin Ua Cathail. His next book\, The Fenian Empire: Irish Republicanism and American Expansion\, 1865-71\, is due for release with NYU Press in 2024. \n

SUMMARY:‘The impact of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on the world order’ 
DESCRIPTION:The School of Political Science and Sociology invite you to a research seminar \n ‘The impact of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on the world order’  \nCristian Nitoiu (Loughborough University London)  \n\nEvents during the last decade culminating with Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine have underscored the salience of uncertainty in determining the future shape of the world order. This talk will explore the way the war in Ukraine has affected the evolution of the world order. It will claim that it has accelerated the decline of the hegemony of Western liberalism in the world order. Western models of governance and multilateralism are being increasingly contested and rejected throughout the Global South\, while ability of the US dollar to act as the main global exchange currency is gradually waning. Furthermore\, the war in Ukraine has driven technological innovation\, especially in terms of the widespread use of AI and drones. It is likely that governments and corporations throughout the world will employ these innovations to strengthen and improve surveillance. Finally\, the talk will reflect on the link between hope and uncertainty or transformation in the world order. \nDr. Cristian Nitoiu is a senior lecturer in Institute for Diplomacy and International Governance\, Loughborough University London and vice-director of Center for Foreign Policy and Security Studies. \nAll Welcome!

SUMMARY:University of Galway History Research Seminar: ‘hurry\, hurry\, over the waves’:  Songs\, the sea and the (re-)interpretation of nineteenth-century history
DESCRIPTION:University of Galway History Research Seminar: \n‘hurry\, hurry\, over the waves’:  \nSongs\, the sea and the (re-)interpretation of nineteenth-century history  \nDr Richard McMahon (Mary Immaculate College\, Limerick)  \nDr Niall Whelehan (University of Strathclyde) \n  \nAbstract\nBring Your Own Hammer is a project that combines historical sources\, music and digital technologies. It brings historians\, composers and musicians together to create new and original song cycles. It explores the boundaries of historical interpretation by reflecting upon and offering new and often radical re-interpretations of historical sources relating to nineteenth-century Ireland. A key strand within the project involves the use of sources related to the themes of the sea\, sea journeys and migration to and from Ireland in the nineteenth century. This paper will explore the processes of collaboration between historians and composers in creating a select number of tracks from My Grief on the Sea\, the first album from the project\, which will be released later this year. In creating the album\, we asked the composers to focus on the ‘sea’ theme by exploring it from different perspectives and through a different lens depending on the source material. We identified a number of key ways of exploring the theme\, namely through ballad/song material from the period\, through individual lives\, through particular moments or events and by exploring spaces. In the paper\, we will reflect on these different approaches and\, ultimately\, on the similarities and differences that arise from representing experiences of the sea\, sea journeys and migration in forms of written and of music history. \nBiographies\nDr. Richard Mc Mahon is a Lecturer in History at Mary Immaculate College\, Limerick with particular research interests in the history of violence\, law and order in nineteenth-century Ireland and among the Irish Diaspora. He is also committed to engaging in forms of creative history. \nDr. Niall Whelehan is a Senior Lecturer in History at the University of Strathclyde\, Glasgow. His research focuses on themes of migration\, political violence\, and radicalism. His latest book – Changing Land: Diaspora Activism and the Irish Land War – was published with NYU Press. \nRegistration\nThis is an in-person event\, in Room G010\, Hardiman Research Building\, University of Galway (ground floor). For those of you not able to attend in person\, the talk will also be streamed on Zoom: https://universityofgalway-ie.zoom.us/j/98011931521. To attend via Zoom\, please register at: https://forms.office.com/e/5Z0tW9Qz9h \nThe seminar will be preceded at 3.30pm by a reception kindly sponsored by the Department of History. All are welcome! \nThis talk is part of the University of Galway History Seminar series.
