SUMMARY:History Research Seminar: Religion and Violence in Early Modern Europe
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nAugust 2022 marked the 450th anniversary of the Saint Bartholomew’s Day Massacre\, long regarded as the archetype of religious violence and fanaticism in Europe. In this talk\, Prof. Stuart Carroll will reflect on the enduring relationship between religion and violence through history. It is commonplace to argue that religion is the cause of violence and until recently it was fashionable to argue that early modern Catholic violence was rooted in festive popular culture and structured by the rituals of traditional religious practice. Prof. Carroll will argue in this general lecture that recent research casts doubt on this assumption and will propose instead that the violence was largely the work of a small groups of heavily armed para-militaries led by the social elite\, whose ideological fervour and level of organization looks forward to the horrors of the twentieth century. He will then explore the implications of the new research for European history more broadly.   \nSpeaker Biography\nStuart Carroll is Professor of Early Modern History at the University of York. He has wide interests in the history of early modern Europe and the history of violence and is the recipient of multiple prizes for his publications. His books include Cultures of Violence: Interpersonal Violence in Historical Perspective (ed.)\, Martyrs and Murderers: The Guise Family and the Making of Europe\, Blood and Violence in Early Modern France and Noble Power during the French Wars of Religion: the Guise Affinity and the Catholic Cause in Normandy. He is currently working on a book project entitled ‘The Origins of Civil Society’\, drawing on sources in French\, German and Italian and English\, and recently edited the Cambridge World History of Violence\, vol. 3.    \nhttps://www.york.ac.uk/history/staff/profiles/carroll/#research-content \nRegistration\nTo attend via Zoom\, please register at: https://forms.office.com/r/zNGhJNUVj3 \nFor those of you not able to attend in person\, the talk will also be streamed on Zoom: https://nuigalway-ie.zoom.us/j/97628504834.   \nThis seminar is organised jointly with the Centre for the Study of Religion at the Moore Institute\, University of Galway. The talk will be followed by a reception to mark the beginning of the new academic year.  \nAll are welcome!

SUMMARY:Sport & Exercise Research Group Seminar: Sport\, Celebrity\, Media and National Identity
DESCRIPTION:Sports events are powerful vehicles for the construction\, reproduction and\, less frequently\, the negotiation or contestation of national identity. The increasingly complex interplay between broadcast\, print and new media is central to the ways in which sporting celebrities become emblematic of national identity and objects of collective emotional investment for committed and casual sports fans alike. Occasionally\, competing perspectives on individuals and teams may highlight internal tensions and divides within the nation at key political and cultural conjunctures\, as evidenced\, for instance\, by the England team’s ‘taking the knee’ protest at Euro 2020. With reference to selected Irish national and international sports celebrities\, and drawing on a variety of theoretical perspectives\, concepts and methods\, this lecture explores the interplay between media representation and sporting celebrities’ self-presentation via social media in the construction\, negotiation and contestation of national identity. It will focus particularly on how national identity intersects with gender and race. \nMarcus Free is a lecturer in Media and Communication Studies in Mary Immaculate College\, University of Limerick\, and has worked previously in the universities of Sunderland and Wolverhampton. He has published widely in international journals and scholarly collections on the intersections of sport\, gender\, race and national identity in film\, print and broadcast media. He is co-author of The Uses of Sport: A Critical Study (2005) and co-editor of Sport\, the Media and Ireland: Interdisciplinary Perspectives (2020).

SUMMARY:Sport & Exercise Research Group Seminar: Lance Armstrong and suiveur reporting in Libération\, 1999–2013: A Case Study in Sports Journalism
DESCRIPTION:As 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. Based on an article co-authored by Hugh Dauncey and Ruadhán Cooke\, this discussion examines the journalism of Jean-Louis Le Touzet in Libération as an example of suiveur reporting in the tradition of Antoine Blondin\, and will attempt to show how the freedom enabled by literary journalism allowed 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. \nAll Welcome!

SUMMARY:Paradigm shifting and the centrality of justice in pathways to low carbon economies
DESCRIPTION:Paradigm shifting and the centrality of justice in pathways to low carbon economies\nby Professor Lorraine Elliott\, Professor Emerita (and previously Professor of International Relations) in the Coral Bell School of Asia Pacific Affairs at the Australian National University \nThe debate about how to manage climate change has increasingly been linked to expectations about net-zero emissions\, low carbon economies\, decarbonisation strategies\, and efforts to define a green economy model. Green economy principles call for pathways to low carbon growth that are environmentally sustainable\, resource efficient and socially equitable in their practices and that deliver sustainability\, efficiency and equity in its outcomes. This presentation explores how and why social justice must be at the heart of such transitions if they are to be transformative rather than simply adaptive\, and if they are to give priority to the human security/insecurity dimensions of climate impacts and responses. It identifies three dimensions of (environmental/climate) justice – procedural justice\, distributive justice and recognition justice – and offers some thoughts about what it might look like to make such principles meaningful in transition policies and practice across sectors such as energy (and perhaps agriculture)\, and cross-cutting issues such as jobs\, employment\, and investment. (NB: The geographic focus will be Southeast Asia and I look forward to the insights of colleagues with experience in other regions of the world). \nAll welcome!

SUMMARY:RIA Seminar Series 'Ireland 2030' Panel 1: Technology and Irish Culture
DESCRIPTION:What would we like Ireland to look like in 2030? In what kind of society do we want to live\, on both sides of the Border? This seems like a simple question. 2030 is just eight years away\, so surely politicians\, intellectuals\, journalists\, and the public are busy imagining our future. But this is not really happening. Initiatives like Project 2040\, a national development plan for the Republic of Ireland\, have in the past several years been overshadowed by emergencies that have demanded all our attention: climate change\, Brexit\, the Covid pandemic\, and now the war in Ukraine. These emergencies have forced us to into a reactive\, crisis-response mode of thinking. There is a sense that events are unfolding so fast that we can hardly keep up. This raises the question: Are we still shaping our future? Or are we merely adapting\, breathlessly\, to the rapid changes which characterize life in the twenty-first century? \nThe RIA seminar series ‘Ireland 2030’ is an attempt to think about ways in which meaningful human agency can be regained\, specifically on the island of Ireland and in a time of globally accelerated change. We understand human agency as the ability to shape the lives we live as opposed to merely reacting to the economic\, technological\, and political demands of the moment; human agency also entails the primacy of persons over systems. Climate change\, Brexit\, the coronavirus pandemic\, and the war in Ukraine can be seen as the catalysts for our initiative: these events have all shattered current horizons and frameworks\, calling for new ways of thinking and acting. The challenge now is not to attempt to return to ‘normality’ but to rethink what this normality should be.   — Philipp W. Rosemann MRIA \nPanel 1: Technology and Irish Culture (May 4\, 9:30–13:00) \n9.30        Welcome Address: Philipp Rosemann\, MRIA \n9.45        Alan Titley MRIA\, University College Cork \nOn the Need and Use of Getting Irish Literature into the Future \n10.30     Ola Majekodunmi\, journalist and broadcaster \nBeing an Irish-speaker in an online community \n11.15     Break \n11.30    Dr Deirdre Ní Chonghaile\, coordinator of the project Amhráin Árann \n“ag teacht le cuan”: language equity\, cultural heritage\, and the digital frontier \n12.15     Professor Kevin Scannell\, Saint Louis University \nArtificial Intelligence in minority language contexts: a new digital divide? \nOn the one hand\, global technology is a driver of relentless homogenization\, which threatens to level culturally distinctive patterns of thinking and acting. In Ireland\, such homogenization poses a particular challenge for the future of the Irish language. On the other hand\, the same global technologies offer new opportunities for speakers of minority languages to assert agency and autonomy. So\, for example\, while traditional oral arts were steadily eclipsed by global mass media in the twentieth century\, they have been revitalized in the twenty-first century by digital communication technologies and the global reach of archival digitization projects. What is the way forward here? More generally\, what are the conditions for another ‘Celtic revival’ in the globalized twenty-first century? And\, should we want one? \nBooking for this seminar and further information on the series is available at: https://www.ria.ie/ireland-2030

SUMMARY:Irish Studies Seminar Series\, 2021-22: The “Irish Highlands”: Alexander Nimmo\, Coastal Environments and Travel in Nineteenth-Century Connemara
DESCRIPTION:The “Irish Highlands”: Alexander Nimmo\, Coastal Environments and Travel in Nineteenth-Century Connemara\nby Dr Anna Pilz\, Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow in the School of Literatures\, Languages and Cultures at the University of Edinburgh (2020-2022) with a 3-month secondment in Irish Studies at the Moore Institute\, National University of Ireland\, Galway (March-May 2022). \nAbstract\nTravel texts from the 1820s and 1830s increasingly drew attention to Connemara\, with a notable focus on the rich natural “resources” the region offered to contemporary visitors and commentators. Tourists with an appetite for natural curiosities\, sporting and/or the “picturesque” were encouraged to explore what became tagged as the “Irish Highlands”. While the texts framed Ireland’s Atlantic coastal environments as an opportunity for improvement and the development of regional industries\, colonial infrastructural developments sprang up. This paper takes the Scottish engineer Alexander Nimmo’s work with and along the Atlantic coast as a touchstone to explore the intersecting themes of the development of tourism and regional industry in cultural productions from travel texts to periodical and visual culture. \nBiography\nDr Anna Pilz is Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow in the School of Literatures\, Languages and Cultures at the University of Edinburgh (2020-2022) with a 3-month secondment in Irish Studies at the Moore Institute\, National University of Ireland\, Galway (March-May 2022). Her research focuses on narratives of environmental change in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century cultural productions from and about Ireland\, particularly in relation to woodlands and coastscapes. Pilz’s current project Coastal Routes investigates a rich archive of Romantic-era travel writing on Ireland and Scotland’s Atlantic coasts (Grant Agreement No. 890850). Together with Seán Hewitt\, she co-edited a Special Issue of Nineteenth-Century Contexts on the theme of ‘Ecologies of the Atlantic Archipelago’ (2021). She previously held research fellowships at the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities at the University of Edinburgh\, the Rachel Carson Center for Environment and Society (LMU\, Munich)\, and an Irish Research Council Postdoctoral Fellowship at University College Cork. \nRespondents\n\n\nDr Muireann Ó Cinnéide\, School of English and Creative Arts\, NUI Galway\nDr David Gange\, Department of History\, University of Birmingham\n\n\nThis webinar is part of the Centre for Irish Studies Seminar series. \nRegistration\nRegister to attend on Zoom at: https://nuigalway-ie.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_fTFsHjLqTf6JAtasI7MJww

His most recent book\, the widely acclaimed History and Presence (Harvard University Press\, 2016)\, was a Choice Outstanding Academic Title. \nHis scholarship draws on history\, ethnography and psychological theories of imagination and intersubjectivity to study historical and contemporary religious practices. In this talk\, he will explore questions of method and theory for the study of religion in an academic setting\, asking how scholars should approach worlds of religious practice\, feeling\, and understanding that may be not only alien to them but also profoundly distressing\, perhaps even frightening. What interpretative frames might be brought to help us understand them? And how might scholars help others to confront similar challenges? \nFor further details\, please contact: Prof. Alison Forrestal alison.forrestal@nuigalway.ie or Prof. Felix Ó Murchadha felix.omurchadha@nuigalway.ie \nCentre for the Study of Religion

SUMMARY:Talk by Samuel Fisher: The Gaelic and Indian Origins of the American Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Samuel Fisher \n(Asst.

This paper summarises the argument of the book which offers a new explanation of the origins of the American Revolution. Drawing on Irish- and Scots-Gaelic language and Native American sources\, he shows how colonized peoples tried to reshape empires in their own image\, and how their partial success convinced American colonists to leave the British empire. \n \n

SUMMARY:Political Science and Sociology Research Seminar: Encounters between peacemaking practice & conflict resolution theory in NI
DESCRIPTION:This is an in-person event held in the Hardiman Research Building’s Bridge Seminar Room\, THB-1001 (1st floor). \nAbout this event\n\n\nAnna Tulin-Brett & Niall Ó Dochartaigh: Appropriating peace theory: encounters between peacemaking practice and conflict resolution theory in Northern Ireland. \nConflict resolution originated as an activist discipline\, but theorists of peace and conflict transformation have had a more limited impact on peacemaking practice than initially hoped. The resultant ‘gap between theory and practice’ (Deutsch & Coleman 2000) has stimulated a vibrant research literature concerned to analyse that gap and to close it. This paper interrogates the relationship between theoretical approaches and theorists of peace and conflict transformation on the one hand and those directly involved in conflicts as peacemakers or as protagonists on the other\, exploring how theorists and theories of conflict transformation were incorporated by key actors during a particularly violent phase of the Northern Ireland conflict. It examines this relationship through a comparative study of two theory-seeking engagements. The first is that of Public Servant and Chairman of the Community Relations Commission in Northern Ireland\, Dr Maurice Hayes\, in the application of the ‘controlled communication’ approach developed by peace theorist John Burton and the second is the case of secret intermediary Brendan Duddy who drew on his work with the Tavistock Institute to inform his practice as a mediator between the IRA and the British government. The paper concludes with a preliminary analysis of the intricate relationship between theorists and practitioners in times of conflict and argue that not only did these theoretical approaches reach local practitioners and policy makers who were focused on local conflict management\, but the theories also reached key figures involved in high-level secret negotiations between key parties to the conflict. \nAnna Tulin Brett is a PhD candidate on her final year at the School of Political Science and Sociology\, NUIG. Her thesis looks at how specific models of peace theory have been appropriated and deployed by policy makers and practitioners working with peacemaking and peacebuilding in Northern Ireland. Anna currently holds two Masters. One in International Cooperation and Crisis Management from Uppsala University\, Sweden and one in Psychoanalytic Studies with the School of Psychology\, Trinity College\, Dublin. \nNiall Ó Dochartaigh is Personal Professor of Political Science and Sociology at the National University of Ireland Galway and Director of the new MA in Public Policy. He has published extensively on the Northern Ireland conflict\, on peace negotiations and on territorial conflict. His publications include Civil Rights to Armalites\, a study of the escalation of conflict in Northern Ireland\, and Dynamics of Political Change in Ireland co-edited with Katy Hayward and Elizabeth Meehan. His new book\, Deniable Contact: Back-channel Negotiation in the Northern Ireland Conflict was published in 2021 by Oxford University Press. \nRegistration\nTo attend this event\, please register via Eventbrite at: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/encounters-between-peacemaking-practice-conflict-resolution-theory-in-ni-tickets-309910790517

SUMMARY:CALM seminar: The CEFR at 20: What have we gained from it?
DESCRIPTION:CALM seminar: The CEFR at 20: What have we gained from it?\nDr Dorothy Ní Uigín\, NUI Galway \nThe Common European Framework of Reference for Languages was developed by the Council of Europe in the 1990s and published officially in 2001\, with its principal aim being to establish transparency in language competency.  While the CEFR is widely used throughout Europe and beyond\, it is on occasion over-simplified\, with people focusing on the one-page\, six-level grid (A1 – C2) that describes the Framework\, without really interrogating how it can be best used in language testing and assessment\, and in authentic language learning.  This talk hopes to move beyond the ‘grid’\, and will focus on three aspects in particular of the CEFR and its influence over the past 20 years:  language testing and self-assessment; language and cultural competences and lesser-spoken / heritage languages and the Framework.  This investigation will help us to answer the question posed in the title of the talk: what have we gained from the CEFR? \nBiographical Note\nDr Dorothy Ní Uigín is the Director of the Teaching of Irish in Acadamh na hOllscolaíochta Gaeilge\, NUI Galway\, where the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) was first adopted for Irish-language courses in 2005.  She has a particular interest in language acquisition\, translation\, academic writing and integrity\, as well as bilingualism and biculturalism.  She has also published widely on the history of Irish-language journalism. \nRegistration\nPlease register at: https://nuigalway-ie.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_GU5GccVmSY24sZsQSS1-Zw \n \n\nVideo Recording
