SUMMARY:Gender Arc Research Seminar (Irish Women Historians and Life Writing\, 1900-1960)
DESCRIPTION:This seminar will be hosted by Nadia Smith who is a current Visiting Fellow who received her PhD in modern Irish history from Boston College. \nNadia Smith will be presenting on “Irish Women Historians and Life Writing\, 1900-1960\,” as part of her ongoing research on Irish women historians and academics in the NUI in the twentieth century.  As a Moore Institute fellow\, she is currently examining the archival sources on the lives of women academics at NUI Galway [then UCG]\, including personal life writing\, such as diaries and memoirs\, as well as academic texts. Her talk will discuss the women historians’ life writing in relation to diary scholarship and life writing by other educated\, middle-class women in Ireland and Britain in the twentieth century\, and consider elements such as literary devices and extratextual material in diaries and memoirs that help shape the life-writer’s self-portrait. \nContact information: smithum@bc.edu

SUMMARY:Archaeology Seminar -  From the Trowel to the Trenches: Archaeology as Social Activism
DESCRIPTION:Guest Lecture: Dr Christopher P. Barton\, Assistant Professor Department of History\, Francis Marion University and Fulbright Visiting Scholar in the School of Geography and Archaeology for 2018. \nTitle: From the Trowel to the Trenches: Archaeology as Social Activism \nContemporary economic\, environmental\, political\, and social injustices are modern manifestations of past practices; they are legacies of marginalization. It is from the study of the everyday that we can better understand both our past and present circumstances. Archaeology is in a unique position to provide invaluable discourse on both the recent past and its lasting effects today. The core methodologies and data of archaeology–the archaeological\, ethnographic\, and historical records–situate the field as an interdisciplinary research endeavor armed with a broad methodological and theoretical arsenal to use the craft in support of social activism. \n \nChris Barton PhD is a visiting US Fulbright Scholar from Francis Marion University in South Carolina. He is interested in the archaeology of Irish racialisation during the Irish Diaspora and Great Famine. Professor Barton’s work focuses on the confluence of race and class as intertwined social structures that were used to marginalize the rural Irish. Additionally\, he is in the early stages of developing a community-based archaeological project that focuses on resistance\, improvisation\, and identity on the Great Blasket Island\, County Kerry. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Thinking Continental: Writing the Planet One Place at a Time - Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Thinking Continental: Writing the Planet One Place at a Time \nEdited by Tom Lynch\, Susan Naramore Maher\, Drucilla Wall\, and O. Alan Weltzien.  \n(Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press\, 2017) \nFollowing an introduction by Dr Louis de Paor\, Centre for Irish Studies\, NUI Galway\, the volume will be launched by Professor Bríona Nic Dhiarmada\, Keough-Naughton Institute for Irish Studies\, University of Notre Dame. \n \nIn response to the growing scale and complexity of environmental threats\, this volume collects articles\, essays\, personal narratives\, and poems by more than forty authors in conversation about ‘thinking continental’—connecting local and personal landscapes to universal systems and processes—to articulate the concept of a global or planetary citizenship. \nReckoning with the larger matrix of biome\, region\, continent\, hemisphere\, ocean\, and planet has become necessary as environmental challenges require the insights not only of scientists but also of poets\, humanists\, and social scientists. Thinking Continental braids together abstract approaches with strands of narrative and poetry\, showing how our imaginations can encompass the planetary while also being true to our own concrete life experiences in the here and now. \nYou are welcome to join us for the launch of Thinking Continental where writers and scholars such as Nessa Cronin\, Susan Millar Dumars\, Tom Lynch\, Susan Naramore Maher\, Joan McBreen\, Barry Johnston\, Fabiana Dimpflmeier and Drucilla Wall\, will read from their contributions to the volume. \nhttp://www.nebraskapress.unl.edu/university-of-nebraska-press/9780803299580/ \nFor further information contact: Dr Nessa Cronin nessa.cronin@nuigalway.ie \n

SUMMARY:Andy Kellogg: The Early Medieval Royal Assembly Sites at Gamla Uppsala and Magh Adhair.
DESCRIPTION:Andy Kellogg \nThe Early Medieval Royal Assembly Sites at Gamla Uppsala and Magh Adhair: A Comparative Study of their Settlement and Landscape Contexts. \nThe Yngling dynasty in Svealand\, Sweden and the Dál Cais dynasty in what is now Co. Clare may have shared a common approach in the way they legitimized their right to be kings. The valorization of a pedigree is a common phenomenon among the royal families of the medieval period and it may have been done by those two dynasties with a common purpose. The re-use of prehistoric monuments as places of royal assembly is a witness of their importance to kings during the early medieval period. This prehistoric archaeology had an importance in the choice of the location for early medieval assembly sites. By looking at the assembly landscape contexts\, we can gain a better understanding of the early medieval conception of kingship.  Comparing the two dynasties and their assembly sites at Gamla Uppsala and Magh Adhair may lead to the identification of common approaches in the establishment of the two sites and how their landscapes were used. \nRoyal Inauguration assembly site of Magh Adhair and the royal burial mounds of Gamla Uppsala: \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Italian\, School of Languages\, Literatures & Cultures
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nItalian \nSchool of Languages\, Literatures & Cultures \nThe Moore Institute \nCharles Burdett\, University of Bristol \nTransnational Time: Reading Post War Representations of the Italian Presence in East Africa \nWorking from recent theoretical writing on time and the concept of the spectral\, the paper begins by questioning how we can talk about transnational temporalities. The paper then looks at some of the ways in which the Italian colonial and post-colonial presence in Eritrea and Ethiopia\, with all its complexities and haunting legacies\, has been represented in fiction by Gabriella Ghermandi\, Erminia Dell’Oro and Nicky Di Paolo. \nCharles Burdett is Professor of Italian at the University of Bristol. The principal areas of his research are: Italian culture under Fascism; the representation of colonialism; travel writing; theories of inter-cultural contact. An important part of his work concerns the theoretical frame through which we consider transnational contact and the implications for the disciplinary field of Modern Languages of the study of cultural translation in all its forms. He is one of the investigators in the large grant\, ‘Transnationalizing Modern Languages: Mobility\, Identity and Translation in Modern Italian Cultures’ that is a beacon project for the AHRC’s ‘Translating Cultures’ theme. He is the author of Journeys through Fascism: Italian Travel Writing between the Wars (paperback 2010). His most recent book is Italy\, Islam and Islamic World: Representations and Reflections from 9/11 to the Arab Uprisings (2016). He is currently working on a monographic study\, The Representation of the Italian Empire and its Afterlife: Utopia\, Time\, and Memory. \n

SUMMARY:Monica Mulrennan (Visiting Fellow) School of Geography
DESCRIPTION:Beyond Fishing: the connection of Indigenous Torres Strait Islander (northern Australia) Women to sea space \nMonica E. Mulrennan\, \nDepartment of Geography\, Planning and Environment\, \nConcordia University\, Montreal \nDocumentation of the knowledge and practices of indigenous fishing societies has tended to focus on the contribution of men while the activities of women have been overlooked or\, at best\, narrowly described. Focusing on a small island community in eastern Torres Strait (northern Australia)\, and drawing on interviews\, questionnaire surveys and participant observation\, this presentation explores the nature and extent of indigenous Torres Strait Islander women’s engagement in fishing activities as well as their related knowledge\, practices and motivations. In addition to debunking the myth of their limited participation in commercial fishing\, the findings reveal the deeply-felt personal attachments and connections these women have to “solwata”. These are reflected in the extent to which the rhythms of the sea shape and define their daily routines\, life histories and understanding of territory. The presentation concludes with a call for greater attention to the connections indigenous women have to sea space and for fisheries management to accommodate and support their increased participation in the formulation and implementation of contemporary fisheries policy.

SUMMARY:Matthew Noone (Visiting Fellow)  Listening to Irish music as Indian raga.
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nListening to Irish music as Indian raga: an arts practice research project \nDr. Matthew Noone (UL) and Dr. Lillis Ó Laoire (NUIG) \nThis research project focuses on the supposition of Irish-Indian musical connections\, most notably the idea of sean-nos singing bearing a strong resemblance to Indian classical music (Ó Ríada\, 1962; Feehan\, 1982; Quinn\, 1987). It is an extension of previous research in exploring Irish traditional music and Orientalist discourse through an Arts Practice and performance based methodology (Noone\, 2016). This research will use the collaborative artistic practice of two musicians (Matthew Noone on the North Indian lute called sarode and sean-nos singer Lillis O Laoire) as a case study to explore the veracity of Irish-Indian musical sympathies.  A background to the theoretical implications of this research will be presented through an interdisciplinary lens of Irish studies\, Orientalist discourse and ethnomusicology. This seminar will also feature performances of re-interpretations of traditional songs written by 18th century Irish poet Tómas Ó Casaide.

SUMMARY:Digital Scholarship Seminar 38: Deirdre Ní Chonghaile
DESCRIPTION:Duplicates & doppelgängers: Generating digital solutions to cataloguing\, accessibility and network-analysis challenges \nA NUI Postdoctoral Fellow in Irish/Celtic Studies affiliated with Roinn na Gaeilge and based in the Moore Institute\, Deirdre Ní Chonghaile aims to generate discussion of some of her digital humanities research challenges with the Digital Scholarship Seminar. She will highlight three archival collections and three challenges: cataloguing the Irish recordings of Sidney Robertson Cowell (1955-57)\, dispersed and duplicated across two institutions; designing an open-access digital archive o…f the wax cylinder recordings of Prof. Tomás Ó Máille (1909-1938); and generating a research strategy for the digital re-imagining of the Rev. Murphy collection of song manuscripts and annotated print journal An Gaodhal (1884-1920s)\, which represents an unprecedented contribution to the network-mapping of sean-nós song practice in pre-literate\, print and transatlantic contexts. Together\, these challenges present a rare opportunity to investigate how digital functionalities can facilitate our efforts to trace and demonstrate the relationships between oral\, literary and performance practices of Irish traditional music. \nDr Deirdre Ní Chonghaile (BA Oxon\, MA Oxon\, PhD) is NUI Fellow in Irish/Celtic Studies at the Moore Institute in NUI Galway. Previously\, she was NEH Keough Fellow at the University of Notre Dame\, Alan Lomax Fellow in the Library of Congress\, and Irish Research Council Postdoctoral Fellow at NUI Galway\, where she also worked more recently with the Digital Cultures Initiative. She is currently preparing a book on music-collecting in Ireland and researching a recently uncovered collection of sean-nós song manuscripts created in Pennsylvania\, the Rev. Daniel J. Murphy Collection\, which constitutes the largest extant manuscript collection of Irish song ever to have been created by independent collectors.\nContact Padraic Moran on padraic.moran@nuigalway.ie

SUMMARY:College of Arts\, Social Sciences\, and Celtic Studies New Professors’ Inaugural Lecture series
DESCRIPTION:Dean of College\, Professor Cathal O’Donoghue will speak on the subject of “Recognising Diversity and Complexity in Policy Formation”. \nProfessor O’Donoghue has been from 2016\, the Dean of Arts and Social Sciences at NUI Galway and Professor of Public and Social Policy. Prior to this he was since 2005\, Head of Teagasc’s (Irelands Agriculture and Food Development Authority) Rural Economy and Development Programme\, one of the 4 research programmes of Teagasc. He was a member of the Fund Council of CGIAR\, a $1 billion a year International Agri-Food Research organisation from 2014-2016. From 2012-2014\, he was CEO of the Irish Government’s Commission for the Economic Development of Rural Areas 2012-2014\, Chairman of the Irish Sport Horse Strategy Committee 2013-2015\, President of the International Microsimulation Association 2011-2015 and is on the Executive of the UK Agricultural Economics Society. \nIn his inaugural lecture\, Professor O’Donoghue will draw upon the results of his research career to date to describe the methodologies he has developed and conclusions he has drawn for policy analysis and design and to reach out to new collaborators in inter-disciplinary research. His research aims to understand how policy impacts across the population\, incorporating the breadth of diversity that exists in different population groups. His field of research is in the area of Micro-Simulation Modelling\, where for 25 years \, he has developed tools to simulate the impact of public policy on Micro distributions (individuals\, Families\, Farms). Fundamentally these are tools to understand complexity. Policy formation involves understanding complexity via complexity of policy\, complexity of population structure and complexity of behavioural response. In addition\, other dimensions that can be considered include spatial and temporal complexity. In this lecture\, Professor O’Donoghue will discuss how the development of these tools have been used to consider policy questions such as anti-poverty\, environmental\, labour market\, education\, agricultural and rural policy. His work is currently focusing on the interaction between land-use change and demographic both in a contemporary setting and in understanding historical land use drivers of demographic changes. \nContact: Dr. Seán Crosson – Sean.Crosson@nuigalway.ie
