6th Annual Environment, Society & Development Symposium
Precarious Geographies: Insecurity, Solidarity and Critical Geopolitics
The Geopolitics and Justice Cluster’s 6th Annual Symposium on Environment, Society and Development takes place March 30-31 this year. The two-day symposium, supported by the Whitaker Institute and part of its Conflict, Humanitarianism and Security Cluster annual events, engages the key theme of ‘precarious geographies’ and the challenge of rendering visible ‘insecure lives’ whose political statuses have been marginalised in global networks of conflict, migration, detention and asylum. The symposium features a joint plenary from Prof. Jennifer Hyndman (York University, Canada) and Prof. Alison Mountz (Wilfrid Laurier University, Canada) and paper presentations from Prof. Gerry Kearns (NUI Maynooth), Dr Diana O’Dwyer (Dublin City University) and Dr Karen Till (NUI Maynooth). The symposium also features presentations from Geopolitics and Justice PhD candidates and Masters students on the MA in Environment, Society and Development. There is no fee to attend, and the symposium programme can be found here.

Diversity in Initial Teacher Education (DITE) in Ireland: Critical Perspectives on Gender and Sexuality - Dr. Manuela Heinz, Dr. Elaine Keane, and Dr. Kevin Davison, Education, NUI Galway
2015-04-08 13:00
Gender ARC and Global Women’s Studies at NUI Galway are pleased to invite you to a research seminar:
Diversity in Initial Teacher Education (DITE) in Ireland: Critical Perspectives on Gender and Sexuality
Dr. Manuela Heinz, Dr. Elaine Keane, and Dr. Kevin Davison, Education, NUIGalway
Abstract: The homogeneity of the teaching profession is an international phenomenon; teaching bodies are generally from majority group backgrounds, frequently in contrast to student populations. Research in Ireland suggests a similar situation, yet we lack adequate data describing our national context. Diversifying the teaching profession is an international policy concern, and in Ireland, a number of policy recommendations have addressed the matter. Arising from IRC funded researchon Diversity in Initial Teacher Education (DITE), this paper will examine data from an online questionnaire administered with applicants to postgraduate post-primary initial teacher education programmes across Ireland in 2014 (n=746, rr=46.6%). In our presentation we will explore the intersectionality of applicants’ genders/sexualities with their ethnic and social class backgrounds.We will, furthermore, explore relationships between applicants’ gender/sexualities and their experiences of schooling as well as their motivations to become teachers and perceptions of a teaching career. This examination of gender as the most prominent element of diversity in anotherwise homogeneous sample holds the potential for greater insight into the benefits of diversifying teacher education in Ireland.
Dr. Manuela Heinz is a Lecturer and the Director of Teaching Practice in the School of Education at the National University of Ireland Galway. Her research interests include initial and continuous teacher education, school-university partnership, teacher education recruitment and admission policies, career motivations and the diversity profiles of teacher education candidates. Manuela is co-principal investigator of the IRC-funded Diversity in Initial Teacher Education (DITE) project.
Dr. Elaine Keane is a Lecturer in Sociology of Education & Director of the Master of Education programme in the School of Education at NUI Galway. Her research area is widening participation in higher education (with a particular focus on social class), including in initial teacher education. She has published in a range of journals, and in 2013 she authored the Ireland report for a six country study of widening participation effectiveness, funded by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE). She is Co-Principal Investigator on the IRC-funded Diversity in InitialTeacher Education (DITE) in Ireland national research project.
Dr. Kevin Davison is a Lecturer with the School of Education at NUI Galway with an interest in sociological issues in education including: boys and academic achievement, role models, and innovative approaches to science outreach. He is the author of: Negotiating Masculinities and Bodies in Schools: The Implications of Gender Theory for the Education of Boys (2007: EdwinMellen Press), and co-author of Masculinities and Schooling: International Practices and Perspectives (2007: Althouse Press). He is also the co-author of the report A Review of Science Outreach Strategies, North and South (2008: Centre for Cross Border Studies).

Interculturalism and Performance Now: New Directions? 10-11 April 2015
2015-04-10 09:00 | Seminar Room G011 the Hardiman Reserach Building, Ireland
Interculturalism and Performance Now: New Directions?
Featuring Rustom Bharucha, Leo Cabranes-Grant, Emine FiÌÉåÙek, Jason King, Ric Knowles, Julie Holledge, Daphne Lei, Charlotte McIvor, Prathrana Purkayastha, Victor Ramirez Ladron De Guevara, Brian Singleton and Joanne Tompkins Interculturalism has long been one of the most vigorously debated theoretical keywords in the field of theatre and performance studies. Intercultural performance depends on the hybrid mixture of performance forms from different cultures (typically East and West), but in whose interest, to whose ends and on what terms? Is intercultural performance a utopic ideal or coercive construct as it has most stereotypically been associated with ‰Û÷Western’ appropriations of ‰Û÷Eastern’ forms? Is it irreparably weighted down by histories of colonialism, cultural imperialism, and structural inequality that have often set its production conditions? Or can conscious and politically engaged work by artists/activists exceed and/or transform this history without negating the power of its living memory by manipulating the ideals and flows of intercultural performance in new ways?’Performance and Interculturalism Now: New Directions?’ brings together international leaders in the field to respond to a recent resurgence of critical activity around this term that has multiplied rather than limited its contemporary resonances. This symposium will explore historical approaches to intercultural performance, Asian and other oppositional models of interculturalism that challenge (and/or reify) Western hegemonies, the use of interculturalism within migrant performance cultures, and interculturalism as aesthetic practice and social policy in the European Union and Canada among other themes. Why return to interculturalism and what can it mean for how we study performance now?To register, please email Jason King at jason.king@nuigalway.ie.Faculty/Salaried: ‰âÂ30Postgraduate/Unsalaried: ‰âÂ15

Open Access: Implications and Opportunities -Prof. Nicholas Canny (ERC) and Prof. Lokesh Joshi (V-P for Research)

Open Access: Implications and Opportunities Speakers: Prof. Nicholas Canny (ERC) and Prof. Lokesh Joshi (V-P for Research)
Open Access is an issue that will be of increasing importance to all academics and it has specific implications for Humanities and Social Science researchers which need to be assessed. In particular, funding bodies are beginning to make it a requirement that publications, including underlying datasets, relating to the research they support should be freely available. The prospect is that journals will impose charges for publication, covered by grants, but this will have major implications for how we disseminate our research and how institutions handle this financial challenge. Prof. Canny is a member of the European Research Council which asked him to research this question. Prof. Joshi, as VP for research, will offer his institutional and scientific perspective. This event has come about in conjunction between the Moore Institute and the Hardiman Library, and members of the library including John Cox will be there to offer their views on this significant challenge.

Launch of Duanaire
2015-04-14 11:00

ÌÒ Briain Annual Public Lecture – Prof Jan Pedersen,
University of Stockholm, ‘Subtitling Cultural
References: When Mr Rodgers became Donald Duck
One of the classic translation problems is cultural references, and when it comes to subtitling the constraints are quite severe: not only is there a shift from spoken to written mode but there is also the question of polysemiotics. In a polysemiotic text, such as a film or a TV programme, the subtitles have to coexist with other semiotic channels, with which they should ideally cohere. This talk presents a model for analysis (and production) of ways in which Extralinguistic Cultural References (ECRs) can be rendered in subtitling. It also explains how Mr Rogers became Donald Duck.

Smoking: Are e-cigarettes part of the problem or part of the solution?
A panel discussion
According to the WHO, tobacco use kills more than 5 million people per year. It is responsible for 1 in 10 adult deaths. Among the five greatest risk factors for mortality, it is the single most preventable cause of death. Recently, e-cigarettes have been introduced that provide nicotine in vapour form. The question that the panel will discuss is whether e-cigarettes are part of the solution to the problem of smoking-related mortality or not.
The panel will consider
the commercial interests that are served by making e-cigarettes more or less available

Public Lecture: Peter Killeen, Arizona State University and Moore Institute Visiting Fellow: What is Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and where does it come from?
2015-04-23 18:00
What is Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and where does it come from?
The simplest definition of Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) consists of a list of the typical symptoms. Professor Killeen provides a more comprehensive definition that informs us of the events that trigger ADHD in both its acute and chronic manifestations; the neurobiology that underlies it; and the evolutionary forces that have kept it in the germ line of our species. These factors are organized in terms of Aristotle’s four kinds of “causes,” or explanations: formal, efficient, material, and final. By providing this more complete picture of the syndrome, we gain a deeper understanding and the potential to identify novel approaches to accommodate and remediate the behavior of people with ADHD.
Professor Peter Killeen is currently a visiting fellow at the Moore Institute in NUI Galway. He is emeritus professor of psychology at Arizona State University, and has also been visiting scholar at the University of Texas, Cambridge University, and the Centre for Advanced Study, Oslo.
Professor Killeen has made landmark contributions to a remarkable number of fields in the behavioral sciences, including the experimental study of learning, decision-making, timing and memory. His major work includes the development of incentive theory, culminating in the mathematical principles of reinforcement (Behavioural and Brain Sciences, 1994), and the behavioral theory of timing (Psychological Review, 1988). He also developed a novel statistical technique (pRep) that was adopted by Psychological Science, one of the foremost journals in psychology. Professor Killeen’s quantitative and conceptual developments have enriched psychology and the world beyond.
