SUMMARY:Open Scholarship Café: Podcasts and deflationary technology as means of opening up learning
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Kieran Fitzpatrick\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPodcasts and deflationary technology as means of opening up learning\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nIn this Café\, Dr Kieran Fitzpatrick will explore the idea of the deflationary impact of technology in higher education through a discussion of a podcast he launched called Body Politics\, which builds on his experiences of teaching the history of science and medicine to undergraduates in medicine. The podcast emerged from the thought that cheap (broadcasting) technology should make it easier than ever to promote the transmission of ideas through teaching and learning. Technology itself enables informal\, “asynchronous” learning beyond the classroom: while making breakfast\, during the morning or evening commute\, on a run etc. In short\, podcasting represents a new way to teach and communicate well about the past. \nTo date\, and without a lot of promotional effort\, Body Politics been downloaded just over a thousand times\, and formed the basis for an article published on RTE’s Brainstorm. Dr. Fitzpatrick will discuss his ambition to turn the podcast into a hub for refining and adapting notions of professionalism in the healthcare sciences. \nThis will be a virtual session with link emailed prior to starting. \nSpeaker bio\nDr. Kieran Fitzpatrick is an historian and educator\, with interests in how to create and promote well-founded and rich cultures of expertise and professionalism in highly-skilled\, scientific organisations. After completing his doctorate with the financial assistance of Wellcome at St John’s College\, Oxford in 2017\, he was selected as the NUI Research Fellow in the Humanities at NUI Galway’s Moore Institute in 2018. More recently he joined the Research Office at NUI Galway. \nRegistration\nTo attend this event\, please register via Eventbrite at: https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/deflated-in-a-good-way-podcasts-as-a-medium-for-teaching-learning-tickets-267387612547?aff=ebdsoporgprofile

SUMMARY:Political Science and Sociology Research Seminars: "More smoke\, admittedly\, than flame’? Ireland-Wales relations after Brexit"
DESCRIPTION:This is an in-person event in GO10\, Hardiman Research Building (Moore Institute).\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nThis paper is a political-sociological exploration of the forms of connection and rupture\, collaboration and conflict that define relationships across the Irish Sea at a time of constitutional and political change on ‘these islands’. The aim is to examine the history and consequences of Ireland-Wales relations\, their contemporary tensions and ongoing attempts to renew and recast them. Drawing on semi-structured interviews with those involved in contemporary nationalist politics in Wales and Ireland\, the paper will explore\, in particular\, whether and in what ways the projects of Irish (re)unification and constitutional change in Wales overlap\, and with what implications. The paper will thus provide a case study in changing transnationalist politics in post-Brexit\, post-Covid Europe. \nJonathan Evershed is the Newman Fellow in Constitutional Futures at the Institute for British-Irish Studies (IBIS) and School of Politics and International Relations (SPIRe)\, University College Dublin (UCD). His work engages questions of postcolonial identity and constitutionalism in post-Brexit British and Irish politics. He is the author of Ghosts of the Somme: Commemoration and Culture War in Northern Ireland (University of Notre Dame Press\, 2018) and co-author (with Mary C. Murphy\, UCC) of A Troubled Constitutional Future: Northern Ireland after Brexit (Agenda Publishing\, 2022). \n\nRegistration\nTo attend this event\, please register via Eventbrite at: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/more-smoke-admittedly-than-flame-ireland-wales-relations-after-brexit-tickets-291209705067

SUMMARY:History Research Seminar Series: ‘My Father Sold Me’: Listening to the Voices of Enslaved Girls in Republican China
DESCRIPTION:Dr Isabella Jackson (Trinity College Dublin)  \n‘My Father Sold Me’: Listening to the Voices of Enslaved Girls in Republican China  \nAbstract\nIn republican China (1912-1949)\, it was common practice for poor parents to sell daughters to wealthy families via middlemen for unpaid domestic labour. Being female\, poor\, cut off from their natal families\, and performing menial work\, these were some of the lowest status and most vulnerable children in society. Yet the voices of a small number of such girls speak from police records\, newspaper reports\, oral history records and memoirs\, while many more remain voiceless. By examining what they said\, we gain new insights into their own understanding of their lives. And by interrogating why some could not speak\, we reveal how age dictated who enjoyed personhood under the law and in the public realm. \nSpeaker Biography\nDr Isabella Jackson is Assistant Professor in Chinese History at Trinity College Dublin. She is Principal Investigator on the project\, CHINACHILD: Slave-Girls and the Discovery of Female Childhood in Twentieth-Century China\, which is funded by an Irish Research Council Laureate Grant. Together with a team of researchers\, she is researching how controversies over keeping unpaid domestic servants (binü婢女 or mui tsai) reflect changing and expanding conceptions of Chinese childhood. Dr Jackson’s previous publications focus on the global and regional networks that shaped the treaty ports\, which were opened to foreign traders by force in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries\, including her monograph\, Shaping Modern Shanghai: Colonialism in China’s Global City (Cambridge University Press\, 2017)\, and her work on interconnections between China and the British World\, especially her research on Sikh policemen who worked in the Settlement. She is also editor (with Robert Bickers) of Treaty Ports in Modern China: Law\, Land and Power (Routledge\, 2016). \nRegistration\nTo attend\, please register at: https://forms.office.com/r/4xyESpkWNw \nThis event will take place online\, via Zoom: https://nuigalway-ie.zoom.us/j/99212470960.

SUMMARY:History Research Seminar Series: "Peace of Mind: Social Psychiatry\, Universal Basic Income and Preventing Mental Illness in the USA"
DESCRIPTION:Professor Matthew Smith (University of Strathclyde) \nPeace of Mind: Social Psychiatry\, Universal Basic Income and Preventing Mental Illness in the USA \nAbstract\nFollowing the Second World War\, a new\, interdisciplinary and preventive approach to psychiatry gained influence in the US.  Social psychiatry involved teams of social scientists and psychiatrists which explored the environmental causes of mental illness.  Although social psychiatry triggered deinstitutionalisation and the community mental health movement\, it is little known or understood today.  By exploring the four most important social psychiatry research projects\, this paper argues that not only should social psychiatry feature more in the historiography of twentieth-century mental health and psychiatry\, but it also should inform current attempts to prevent mental illness\, redirecting us to focus more on addressing systemic factors\, such as poverty\, inequality and social isolation\, through progressive policies\, such as Universal Basic Income (UBI). \nSpeaker Biography\nProfessor Matthew Smith is Professor in History at the University of Strathclyde and the Centre for the Social History of Health and Healthcare. He is the author of three monographs: An Alternative History of Hyperactivity: Food Additives and the Feingold Diet (Rutgers University Press\, 2011); Hyperactive: The Controversial History of ADHD (Reaktion\, 2012); and Another Person’s Poison: A History of Food Allergy (Columbia University Press\, 2015)\, which was reviewed in the New York Times and given honourable mention in the Association of American Publishers’ Prose Awards for 2016. He is currently working on a monograph project on the history of social psychiatry in the United States.  Funded by an AHRC Early Career Fellowship\, this project investigates how American psychiatrists and social scientists viewed the connection between mental illness and social deprivation during the decades that followed the Second World War. This funding has resulted in a special issue of Palgrave Communications (co-edited with Lucas Richert) and two edited volumes\, Deinstitutionalisation and After: Post-War Psychiatry in the Western World (2016) and Preventing Mental Illness: Past\, Present and Future (2018)\, both co-edited by Despo Kritsotaki and Vicky Long\, and published in the Palgrave series\, Mental Health in Historical Perspective. Professor Smith also currently co-leads (with Mike Danton) a Scottish Universities Insight Initiative project called Peace of Mind: Exploring Universal Basic Income’s Potential to Improve Mental Health. \nRegistration\nTo attend\, please register at: https://forms.office.com/r/mhpkVrqy0s. \nThis event will take place online\, via Zoom: https://nuigalway-ie.zoom.us/j/98951084778.

SUMMARY:Arts in Action presents: Julie Comparini & Yonit Kosovske Performing the Song Cycle ‘Watershed’ 
DESCRIPTION:Hermit Songs (1953) by Samuel Barber  \nWatershed (2020) by Ailís Ní Ríain  \nWatershed is a new song cycle for voice and piano inspired by the natural bodies of water and land in Ireland’s midwest region and along the Atlantic coast.  With music by renowned Irish composer Ailís Ní Ríain and text by Ballina-Killaloe resident\, poet Jessica Brown\, it is a song cycle inextricably rooted in place and in nature.  Central to the song-texts – which are taken from Jessica’s superb collection\, And Say (Revival Press\, Limerick 2019) – are themes informed by the writer’s personal interaction with water and the surrounding landscapes in counties Clare and Tipperary: Holy Island\, the hills of Moylussa and Tountinna overlooking Lough Derg\, the dunes of Fanore\, the Burren cliffs\, and the forest paths of the Galtees and the Silvermines. \nMusicians Julie Comparini and Yonit Kosovske perform this new work as part of a contemporary Art Song programme titled Lough Derg 1& 2 in which they present two song cycles\, new and slightly older: Aislís Ní Ríain’s Watershed (2020) alongside Samuel Barber’s Hermit Songs (1953) composed on texts by medieval monks and poets writing about Lough Derg in Donegal.  The Watershed song cycle was made possible through funding received from the Arts Council Music Commissions Award in 2020.  The Watershed CD\, produced by Now and Then Media\, was released in November 2021 and features the song cycle\, poetry readings\, and field recordings of soundscapes along and near Lough Derg in County Clare. \n \nJulie Comparini\, mezzo-soprano | Yonit Kosovske\, piano \nRegistration\nTickets available on Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/julie-comparini-yonit-kosovske-tickets-274654708627

SUMMARY:Political Science and Sociology Research Seminar: "Beyond the Binary: Civic Parties in Post-Agreement Northern Ireland"
DESCRIPTION:This is an in-person event held in is room 306 in Aras Moyola\, NUI Galway.\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nThis presentation will outline a book currently being developed about civic parties in deeply divided societies\, focusing on the case of Northern Ireland after the 1998 Good Friday Agreement. The book explores the place of civic parties – those that organize on the basis of issues\, allegiances and identity categories other than ethno-national – within a political space structured along binary ethno-national lines. In particular\, it addresses the puzzle of how these parties have managed to survive and grow in post-Agreement Northern Ireland in the context of a consociational power-sharing system explicitly designed to accommodate ethno-national groups. The book assesses the opportunities and barriers civic parties encounter in the power-sharing landscape and the strategies they have used to navigate those structures. Through an in-depth examination of the case of Northern Ireland\, which is placed in dialogue with evidence from other post-conflict cases\, the book aims to elucidate the phenomenon of civic parties in deeply-divided places and their potential to contribute to post-conflict transitions. \nCera Murtagh is Assistant Professor in Irish Politics and Comparative Politics at Villanova University and Visiting Scholar in the School of Political Science and Sociology and the Moore Institute at NUI Galway in 2021-22. Her research concerns conflict and peace and gender politics\, focusing particularly on the mobilization of civic political parties and movements in deeply divided societies. Her work has been published in a number of journals including International Political Science Review and Nations and Nationalism. Dr Murtagh previously worked as Research Fellow at Queen’s University Belfast on an Economic and Social Research Council project entitled Exclusion amid Inclusion: Power-Sharing and Non-Dominant Minorities. She holds a PhD and an MSc from the University of Edinburgh and a BA from NUI Galway. She previously worked as a political journalist in Edinburgh and political researcher in the Scottish Parliament. \nRegistration\nTo attend\, please register via Eventbrite here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/beyond-the-binary-civic-parties-in-post-agreement-northern-ireland-tickets-276925891797

SUMMARY:Being in the air: An intellectual and aesthetic history of climate
DESCRIPTION:Current conceptualizations of climate and climate change are dominated by the abstract idea of climate as “the average weather.” This scientific understanding needs to be complemented by a cultural concept of climate which has a long tradition from Antiquity to the Enlightenment. In order to understand what it means to “be in the air” culturally\, politically\, and medically\, we need a cultural conception of climate as an environment. This talk by Professor Eva Horn\, University of Vienna\, provides historical and literary examples of what it might mean to understand the air from the inside\, as an element of individual\, social\, and cultural life.

SUMMARY:The Future of the Humanities: Challenges and Opportunities
DESCRIPTION:This autumn the UCD Humanities Institute celebrates its 20th anniversary. We can look back over a successful history. Generations of PhDs and postdoctoral fellows have benefitted from the unique research environment offered by the Humanities Institute . Hundreds of conferences\, workshops and Distinguished Guest Lectures have placed the Humanities Institute on the national and international maps\, and collaborations with external partners and with the other research institutes in UCD have created a vibrant interdisciplinary network spanning the Humanities\, Social Sciences and STEM areas. Our Soundcloud is attracting a growing public audience. So there is much to celebrate. \nAnd yet\, in recent years the humanities have come under pressure\, nationally and internationally. Celebrating the humanities therefore also means articulating a vision for the 21st century. \nWe would like to invite you to the following special lecture: \nProfessor Dan Carey (MRIA\, Director of the Moore Institute\, NUI Galway) \nThe Future of the Humanities: Challenges and Opportunities \nDaniel Carey is a board member of the Irish Research Council and has served as chair of the Irish Humanities Alliance (2014-16). He has held grants from the Mellon Foundation\, the IRC\, the AHRC\, British Academy\, MHRA\, and other sources\, and has mentored 12 postdoctoral fellows funded by Marie Skłodowska Curie actions\, the IRC\, and other schemes. His current research is a major international project to edit the work of Richard Hakluyt (www.hakluyt.org) and has published widely on intellectual history\, colonialism\, and economic thought. \nRegistration\nRegister for free on Eventbrite. The Zoom link for this talk will be emailed to all registered participants the day before the event.

SUMMARY:CALM Seminar Series 2021-2022: "Saibhreas and society: intergenerational language transmission in Irish-speaking\, Kurdish-speaking\, and Polish-speaking families"
DESCRIPTION:This talk will explore a model developed to give a holistic account of caregivers’ goals for successful intergenerational language transmission\, referred to as the ‘saibhreas’ model. This model was developed within an autochthonous minority language context (Irish in Corca Dhuibhne\, Co. Kerry with the ’Sustaining Minoritized Languages in Europe’ initiative)\, but the talk will show the relevance of the model to conceptualising intergenerational transmission of heritage languages\, specifically the Polish and Kurdish languages in Ireland through the project Languages\, Families\, and Society. The talk will outline the various challenges families encounter in reaching their goals for successful intergenerational language transmission and will discuss possible societal interventions that could help mitigate these obstacles. \nSpeaker: Dr. Cassie Smith-Christmas\, NUI Galway. Part of the CALM (Centre for Applied Linguistics and Multilingualism) Seminar Series for 2021-2022. \nRegistration\nTo attend this online webinar via Zoom\, please register HERE.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED - Sport & Exercise Research Group Seminar Series: "Lance Armstrong and suiveur reporting in Libération\, 1999–2013: A Case Study in Sports Journalism"
DESCRIPTION:Dear Colleagues\, \nUnfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances this week’s Research in Sport lecture by Ruadhán Cooke –  Lance Armstrong and suiveur reporting in Libération\, 1999–2013: A Case Stu​dy in Sports Journalism – has had to be postponed. We hope to reschedule this lecture for a later date\, to be confirmed.  \nOur next lecture will be on Sep. 28th (12pm in The Bridge) when Dr. Eoin Whelan (J.E. Cairnes School of Business & Economics\, NUI Galway) will address the topic of  ‘How are advances in digital technologies impacting sports and exercise?’  – further details to follow later this week. \nLance Armstrong and suiveur reporting in Libération\, 1999–2013: A Case Study in Sports Journalism\nRuadhán Cooke\, Discipline of French\, School of Languages\, Literatures and Cultures\, NUI Galway. \nAs 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. This lecture examines the journalism of Jean-Louis Le Touzet in Libération as an example of suiveur reporting in the tradition of Antoine Blondin\, and shows how the freedom of literary journalism allows 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.

SUMMARY:Sport & Exercise Research Group Seminar Series: "Sport and Identity: from local pastimes to global games"
DESCRIPTION:Sport and Identity: from local pastimes to global games\nProfessor Philip Dine\, Discipline of French\, NUI Galway. \n[ONLINE LECTURE: https://eu.bbcollab.com/guest/af1fce62e92d4befb6fe95fe8732d90a ] \nHow does sport shape society? From local origins in the later nineteenth and early twentieth centuries\, modern sports were first nationally and then internationally regulated\, enabling novel personal interactions and unprecedented cultural exchanges. This sporting internationalization was to culminate in such global mega-events as the Olympic Games and the football World Cup. These most intensely mediatized spectacles today attract television audiences in their billions\, as the apex of modern sport’s complex network of tangible and intangible exchanges. Mobilizing enormous resources based on strategic alliances between national sports industries\, international governing bodies and transnational media corporations\, they are amongst the modern world’s most powerful producers of locally and globally resonant meanings. In terms of its availability\, sport has now achieved near-saturation coverage\, certainly within the developed world. Yet\, paradoxically\, sport’s traditional emphasis on the local has\, if anything\, been reinforced by the challenges of globalization. This seminar seeks to explore sport’s social significance by offering a case study of France\, focusing on the contribution of organized games to the historical construction and continuing reconfiguration of a variety of local\, national and\, increasingly\, transnational identities. \nPhilip Dine is Personal Professor in the Discipline of French at the National University of Ireland Galway. He has published widely on representations of the French empire\, particularly decolonization\, in fields ranging from children’s literature to professional sport. Further projects have targeted sport and identity-construction in France and the Francophone world.

Working for landlords and large graziers\, they were responsible workers\, liable for damage to their employers’ stock\, whether caused by ‘hogs\, dogs\, bogs\, or thieves’\, in their own phrase. The lecture will discuss the herdsmen’s attachment to their archaic working conditions\, their craft identity\, and the efforts of their herds’ associations through which they defended their position against both employers and tenants’ movements during the land war. \n  \n10.45-11.15                 Offline coffee break \n  \n11.15-12.00                 Lecture 2: Niall Ó Ciosáin \n  \nBook subscribers and readers in the Celtic languages in the 18th and 19th centuries.  \nIn the second half of the 18th century\, there was an expansion in the reading public of most European languages. The Celtic languages were no exception to this trend\, and there was a significant increase in the production of printed texts in Welsh\, Scottish Gaelic\, Irish and Breton. While the production end of these texts has been explored to an extent\, very little is known about their readers. Who bought and read books and pamphlets in the Celtic languages? This paper begins to explore this question by way of the lists of subscribers that were occasionally appended to song books and poetic miscellanies\, particularly in Welsh and Scottish Gaelic. The lists contain anything between a few dozen and many hundreds of names\, often with addresses and occupations included (more so than subscription lists in English). These are analysed in terms of geography and social status to give a picture of the different reading communities in the various languages. \n  \n12.00-14.00                 Offline lunch break \n  \n14.00-14.45                 Lecture 3: Ailbhe Nic Giolla Chomhaill \n  \n“Sin an áit a raibh an lúcháir/ That was the place of joy:” Craft\, creativity and context in the tales of a Co. Donegal female storyteller. \nIreland’s National Folklore Collection (NFC) is home to a large collection of folktales and traditional oral material narrated by Sorcha Chonaill Mhic Grianna (1875-1964)\, a storyteller from the Gaeltacht townland of Ranafast\, Co. Donegal\, in the 1930s. The large quantity of folktales in this collection is representative of the richness of women’s oral narrative tradition in Co. Donegal in the first half of the 20th century; it also reflects the remarkable skill of this storyteller\, whose vast folklore repertoire also included songs\, prayers\, Fenian lays\, and detailed accounts of historic events and local customs. This paper seeks to bridge the doorway between the archival folktale and the social meanings and understandings held within by analysing Sorcha Chonaill’s telling of international wonder tale ATU 707 The Three Golden Children. Before turning my attention to the folktale itself\, I will contextualise the storyteller’s repertoire within the broader context of women’s traditional storytelling in Ireland\, followed by the micro-level context of the storyteller’s socialisation in the rural Irish community of Ranafast in the latter half of the 19th century. \n  \n14.45-15.15                 Offline tea break \n  \n15.15-16.00                 Lecture 4: Róisín Nic Dhonnchadha \n  \nConamara Man: An English Language Gaeltacht Autobiography. \nHow can a self-authored personal narrative help to delineate the factors through which folk identities are formed? In this paper\, I discuss the curious instance of an English language Gaeltacht autobiography\, namely\, Conamara Man (1969) by Séamus Mac an Iomaire [Séamus Ridge]. An islander and a fisherman from the Carna area of County Galway\, Mac an Iomaire (1891-1967) gained renown for his classic publication\, Cladaigh Chonamara [The Shores of Connemara]\, an encyclopaedic account of shore life and the maritime traditions of south Connemara. Reminiscent of autoethnography\, Conamara Man reflects an innate affiliation of person with place and invites us to examine how aspects of folk identity are cultivated by the idea of topophilia. Recognising Mac an Iomaire’s intimate involvement with the sea\, I also address in this presentation the relationship between vocation and identity in the context of folk narratives. \n  \n16.00                           Offline tea break  \n  \n18.00-19.00                 Online pre-prandial drinks (an informal gathering with one’s own drinks) \n  \n19.00                           Offline supper \n  \n\nSATURDAY\, 11 September \n  \n09.45                           Assemble online and technical briefing \n  \n10..00-10.45                Lecture 5: Claudia Kinmonth \n  \nPost publication discoveries; readers’ responses to Irish country furniture and furnishings 1700-2000. \nOften after publishing a book\, new\, associated material comes out of the woodwork. Completing a book during the 2020 pandemic\, and then publishing it and receiving responses from readers\, during lockdown in Ireland\, revealed a mass of objects that I was unable to go and scrutinise first-hand. Normally I cannot to give opinions on art or furniture without checking it first-hand\, to ensure everything is genuine. Some professionally faked Irish furniture cannot necessarily be recognised from photographs. But lockdown forced me into a situation where I had no choice\, I couldn’t enter peoples’ houses\, or examine the subtleties of the undersides of chairs\, or the backs and surface details of paintings in the normal way. \nTaking to Twitter and Instagram to augment publicity in the absence of a launch\, produced a mass of poorly photographed images\, sometimes of fascinating objects. Correspondence with strangers about how best to photograph a chair produced some amusing results. The range of items that emerged was exciting\, especially of rare things which previously had only emerged from museum collections\, such as the slightly magical ‘God in a bottle’\, the first of which was produced by our local grocer\, who had one belonging to her grandmother. Slightly better known were ‘falling tables’\, but fresh examples with good stories about their makers arose from Counties Fermanagh\, and Wicklow. Súgán chairs were a familiar design\, but the first fork-legged one appeared one day on my screen via Instagram. Publishing a 1940s photograph of celebrated author Peig Sayers in her kitchen\, gave rise to ceramics identifiable from her dresser\, and other surviving items of her furniture\, being discovered. Likewise\, glass fishing floats arranged as dresser decoration turned out to be recycled to augment gateposts\, and intriguing in their own right. Broken glass and pottery were part of external cottage decoration\, so photography was easier. This paper takes the opportunity to showcase a scattered range of such ‘new’ historic material\, and some new avenues of research\, for the first time. \n  \n10.45-11.30                 Offline coffee break \n  \n11.30-12.15                 Lecture 6: Verena Commins \n  \nMonuments and commemoration: Realising an Irish traditional music heritage through visual culture.  \nAs public symbols\, monuments are part of a wider cultural landscape that reflect both perspectives on the past and their contemporary interpretation. This paper tracks the relatively recent (post-1974) monumentalisation of the oral tradition of Irish traditional music practice through the prism of commemoration: the raising of public monuments and statues to Irish traditional artists in civic spaces throughout Ireland. The materiality and physical presence of monuments in public squares and crossroads represents the tradition as visual culture in environments far distant from the intimate context of fireside or public house. In doing so\, it extends their associated meanings beyond a listening and performing community of practice of Irish traditional music\, providing new access routes to what is a predominately sound and sounded culture. Furthermore\, it locates this development in local\, national and global contexts\, using specific examples to highlight the commemoration and iconisation of selected musicians and places\, as well as examining the broader aspects and implications of monument emplacement as both built objects and works of art in their own right. \n  \n12.15-14.00                 Offline lunch break  \n  \n14.00-14.45                 Lecture 7: Máirtín Mac Con Iomaire \n  \nReferences to food and drink in Traditional Gaelic Song. \nOver twenty years ago\, I heard Gerry O’Reilly sing ‘The Irish Jubilee’ in Hughes’ Pub as part of the annual Sean-nós Cois Life festival. There were so many food references in this comical song\, I knew I would have to learn it. I had been long aware of the food and beverage content of songs within the Gaelic tradition ranging from ‘An Faoitín’ to ‘Ólaim Punch’ not to mention the rich food descriptions in the pre-famine songs of Antaine Ó Raiftearaí (1784-1835). The catalyst for my exploration of food in the Irish song tradition\, however\, was a statement by Hasia Diner in her book Hungering for America: Italian\, Irish and Jewish Foodways in the Age of Migration (Harvard University Press\, 2002) where she argued that only the Irish—unlike the Italians and Jews who are also subjects of her book—did not have a richly developed food culture\, and that ‘unlike other peoples\, Irish writers of memoirs\, poems\, stories\, political tracts and songs rarely included the details of food in describing daily life’. I instinctively knew this to be false and set about to gather the evidence within the song and poetry to correct this statement. \n  \n14.45-15.15                 Offline tea break \n  \n15.15-16.30                Online excursion: Virtual tour of Galway City Museum\, followed by a live Q & A. \nLed by Damien Donnellan (Galway City Museum) \n  \n16.30-19.30                 Offline supper break  \n  \n19.30                           Informal\, post-prandial ‘show & tell’\, or ‘sing & tell’. \nConference delegates and speakers are invited to gather online to briefly share information about an interesting artefact or publication\, sing a song or tell a story. \n  \n\nSUNDAY\, 12 September \n  \n09.45                           Assemble online and technical briefing \n  \n10.00-10.45                 Presidential Address: Dafydd Roberts: \n  \nPower to the People. \nThis talk has been inspired by the success of the Ynni Ogwen scheme – a collaborative\, community-led project in the Ogwen Valley area of Gwynedd\, north-west Wales\, to capture power from the flow of the river\, and use this to generate hydro electricity. A community share offer raised half a million pounds\, all of the funding required to build and install the scheme. Its turbine house sits on land owned by the Penrhyn Slate Quarry\, and is within screaming distance of the fastest zip wires in Europe! The 500\,000KWH generated annually brings with it a range of benefits\, including supplying power at reduced prices. It’s also very clear that the scheme has been a catalyst for a still-evolving range of other community-based projects\, and that it’s raised confidence in local ability to take on and deliver these. \n  \n10.45-11.15                 Offline coffee break  \n  \n11.15-12.30                 Annual General Meeting of the Society for Folk Life Studies. \n  \n12.30-13.45                 Offline lunch break  \n  \n13.45-15.05                 Shorter Papers: \n  \n13.45-14.05                 Nikita Koptev \n  \nSelf-collection of folklore by Irish schoolchildren: strategies and outcomes. \nThe Schools’ Scheme of 1937/8\, initiated by the Irish Folklore Commission\, was an almost unprecedented experiment. Not only did it contribute to one of the biggest collections of folklore in Europe\, but it also arguably boosted the cultural development of children and created a catalyst for the intergenerational transmission of tales. Children from 26 counties collected folk materials on 55 topics indicated in the booklet Irish Folklore and Tradition (1937). While the majority of the texts in the Schools’ Collection of the National Folklore Collection of Ireland were collected from adults\, some\, arguably\, were produced by the children themselves. The fact that the texts in the Schools’ Collection were created in the school context as part of the Composition lessons predetermined several crucial features. Moreover\, the way the collection process was organised by the Folklore Commission influenced the outcome as well. This paper will examine prominent features of the texts\, strategies employed by children and influential factors that could have changed the outcome of the Schools’ Scheme of 1937/8. \n  \n14.05-14.25                 Eugene Costello \n  \nUpland pastoralism as social practice: commons\, gendered labour and landscape. \nThis paper will outline the social structures and practices associated with traditional livestock herding in upland areas of north-west Europe. It deals particularly with transhumance or ‘booleying’ in the west of Ireland in the period\, 1600-1900\, but includes comparisons with Scotland\, Iceland and Sweden. The main focus will be on the organisation and recognition of grazing rights\, the different roles of men and women in herding and\, above all\, how these social aspects tied back into the physical environment. The paper will also include a short discussion on the medieval origins of the social role of pastoralism. \n  \n14.25-14.45                 Muireann Ní Cheannabháin \n  \nGo n-éirí do chodladh leat/May your sleep be restful: Revealing secrets and repelling threats in Gaelic lullabies. \nA clear aim of the lullaby is to put a child to sleep. Less overtly\, however\, lullabies convey a wide range of themes and emotions that contrast sharply with their soothing melodies. Lullabies belong to genres of song associated with women and family life\, -a domestic sphere that gives us clues as to why so few of them are found in Irish folklore collections. This paper will discuss the opportunities that lullabies gave women to express themselves\, as well as fulfilling their duty to protect the infant and repel threats\, especially the threat of fairy interference. Examining the songs sung by women gives a distinctive insight into the position of women in society\, showing\, as well\, their participation in life’s rituals; from birth to death\, and all that lay between them. \n  \n14.45-15.05                 Ciaran McDonough \n  \n“I have lately been annoyed by so many blockheads\, I do not know whom to treat civilly”: The Ordnance Survey of Ireland’s folklore informants. \nAs well as collecting information pertaining to Ireland’s toponomy during the Ordnance Survey of Ireland\, the Topographical Department\, consisting of some of the finest Irish scholars of the day\, were also instructed to make the most of such a large endeavour and to collect folkloric material in addition to names for and remains on the physical landscape. In addition to the official name books and Memoirs\, collected by the surveyors (who often were unable to speak Irish fluently\, if at all)\, the Ordnance Survey Letters were written by members of the Topographical Department as they filled in the gaps left by the surveyors. This paper looks at the informants for this folkloric material as it is presented in the Ordnance Survey Letters. Focusing largely on the province of Connacht\, I will examine who the informants were and present their contributions\, investigating how the situation of Irish in their townlands may have influenced the type of material presented. \n  \n15.10-15.15                 Concluding remarks \n  \n15.15                           Online tea\, cakes (bring your own!) and farewells  \n  \nEnd of conference \n  \n\nREGISTRATION\nIf you wish to attend this year’s conference\, please contact the Conference Secretary (Steph Mastoris steph.mastoris@museumwales.ac.uk) by Friday 3 September. \nThe cost of attending the whole conference is: \n\nSFLS member: £25\nNon-member: £45\nFull time student: £12\n\n  \nOn receipt of your conference fee you will be sent the codes for joining each part of the conference online. \n  \nPlease send a cheque\, or notification of bank transfer to: \nSteph Mastoris \nNational Waterfront Museum\, \nOystermouth Road\, Maritime Quarter\, Swansea SA1 3RD \n(steph.mastoris@museumwales.ac.uk) \n  \nPlease pay either \nby cheque payable to The Society for Folk Life Studies \nor \nby BACS transfer to the Society’s bank account: \nSort code:  40-35-18                       Account number: 11226363 \nInternational Bank Account Number: GB61HBUK4035181 1226363 \nBranch Identifier Code: HBUKGB4108N \n(Please identify the transfer as ‘Conference 2021 + [your surname]’) \nNOTE: The Conference fee does not apply to the Moore Institute students who can join the event for free (please contact Professor Lillis Ó Laoire at lillis.olaoire@oegaillimh.ie for further information).

SUMMARY:Imagining inclusivity: The role of language in an increasingly diverse Ireland
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is designed to facilitate dialogue between academics\, policymakers\, practitioners\, and NGOs in imagining a more inclusive Ireland\, and the role that language plays in how we envisage this inclusivity. The event stems from the project ‘Languages\, Families\, and Society’ (LaFS) at NUI Galway\, which uses an ethnographic approach to understand more about the everyday lived experiences families who speak Irish as a home language; Polish as a home language; and Kurdish as a home language\, and how these experiences intersect with language policy and support (or lack thereof) at the wider level. \nThe workshop will consist of five 10-minute presentations\, followed by 5 minutes for questions. We will then break out into groups and take part in a targeted discussions about key issues before coming back together as a whole group. Our collective thoughts and recommendations will form the basis of a document to be published on the project’s website. Even if you do not wish to participate in the group discussions\, we warmly invite you to attend this workshop. \nPresenters\nDr. Cassie Smith-Christmas (Roinn na Gaeilge\, NUI Galway) is the research fellow with LaFS. This project builds on her extensive research within the area of ‘Family Language Policy’ which encompasses work with in the Corca Dhuibhne Gaeltacht and the Hebrides of Scotland. \nProfessor Tadhg Ó hIfearnáin (Roinn na Gaeilge\, NUI Galway) is the mentor with LaFS. He is a pioneer of ‘Family Language Policy’ in an Irish language context and has conducted research in Gaeltacht communities\, across Ireland and in other minoritised language settings in Europe\, as well as advising state and community language planning agencies. \nAnnie Asgard (Claddagh National School\, Galway) is an EAL teacher and Chairperson of English Language Support Teachers’ Association of Ireland (ELSTA). Annie has extensive experience working with EAL learners of different backgrounds in different contexts\, ranging from primary schools to refugee camps. \nDr. Lorraine Connaughton-Crean (Institute of Education\, Dublin City University) helped design the NCAA Primary Curriculum for Languages (2019). She recently completed her PhD thesis (2020) which explored the linguistic experiences of Polish-speaking families in Ireland. \nDr. Carmen Kealy (UNESCO Child and Family Research Centre\, NUI Galway) is part of the research team Crisis Coping: Living and Learning through COVID-19 which is a HRB and IRC funded study (collaboration between UCFRC and the School of Education). With a strong research interest in parenting and migration\, she completed her PhD thesis (2019) on the experience of Polish parents in Galway. \nRegistration\nEvent is free but please register by June 29\, 2021: https://forms.office.com/r/QWG4Y66k02. \n  \n \n“This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 794800”.
