SUMMARY:University of Galway History Research Seminar: Gendered data in early medieval sources: Reflections from the Gendered Networks and GENCHRON projects
DESCRIPTION:Dr Máirín MacCarron (University College Cork)  \nGendered data in early medieval sources:  \nReflections from the Gendered Networks and GENCHRON projects \nAbstract \nThis paper will introduce and explain the development and analysis of gendered data in two of the presenter’s funded research projects: Women\, Conflict and Peace: Gendered Networks in Early Medieval Narratives (funded by the Leverhulme Trust\, 2018–2021) and Time for Women? Gender\, Chronology and Historiography before AD 900\, GENCHRON (Irish Research Council Consolidator Laureate grant\, 2022–2026). It will discuss the representation of gender and gender statistics in a selection of sources from late antiquity and the early middle ages – works of history\, hagiographies and chronicles – and in modern historiography. This paper will argue that data-driven approaches can allow historians to move past a reductive view of gendered roles and the place of women in medieval society. \nBiography \nDr Máirín MacCarron was appointed to the Department of Digital Humanities at UCC in 2019. Prior to this role\, she held posts in the Departments of History at the University of Galway and the University of Sheffield. She was awarded the Irish Historical Research Prize 2021 for her book Bede and Time: computus\, theology and history in the early medieval world (Routledge: London and New York\, 2020). She is Principal Investigator of Time for Women? Gender\, Chronology and Historiography before AD 900 (GENCHRON) which runs from 2022–2026\, funded by an Irish Research Council Consolidator Laureate Grant. She was Co-Investigator on the research project Women\, Conflict and Peace: Gendered Networks in Early Medieval Narratives funded by the Leverhulme Trust and based at the University of Sheffield from 2018–2021; and she was Co-Investigator on the Digital Edgeworth Network funded by the ‘UK-Ireland Collaboration in Digital Humanities Networking Programme’ and jointly based at Cork and Oxford\, from 2020–2021. \nRegistration\nTo attend via Zoom\, please register at: https://forms.office.com/e/FDWKnekvcv \nThis is a hybrid event. The paper will be delivered in-person\, in Room G010\, Hardiman Research Building\, University of Galway (ground floor) and livestreamed simultaneously on Zoom: https://universityofgalway-ie.zoom.us/j/98639590634. \nSeminars are not recorded. \nFull Programme\nA full programme for this semester’s seminars is available at: University_of_Galway_History_Seminar_2023-24_Semester_02. \nThis talk is part of the University of Galway History Seminar series. \nImage: an image of a woman feeding hens from the apse mosaic of San Clemente in Rome.

SUMMARY:Centre for Creative Technologies masterclass series: Neuroscience of Creativity
DESCRIPTION:Creativity is a key skill with increasing relevance for contemporary and future societies. This seminar presents an overview of how the human brain affords us the ability to think creatively. We will: [1] examine the neural basis of the creative process as revealed through neuroimaging methods; [2] explore why people differ in levels of creative ability; and [3] evaluate creativity-enhancing interventions including brain stimulation\, pharmacological agents\, and behavioural changes. Beyond understanding the production of creative work\, we will also consider the recognition of creativity and how it differs to intelligence from a neuroscientific perspective. Finally\, we will review experimental evidence from the Cultural Evolution literature that suggests limiting factors to innovation due to how information is transferred intergenerationally and ways we might overcome any such psychological constraints on our creativity capacity. \nSpeaker Bio: Dr Jane Conway is an SFI-IRC Pathway Fellow and Honorary Research Lecturer in the School of Psychology\, University of Galway. She is an experimental psychologist who focuses on higher order cognition in humans\, specializing in the role of culture in shaping the mental processes that allow us to represent abstract features of the world. She directs the Scientific Arts Lab\, an interdisciplinary group that studies the development of scientific concept literacy through creative practice. \nRegistration\nPlease register via Eventbrite at: https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/neuroscience-of-creativity-tickets-795300604517

SUMMARY:University of Galway History Research Seminar: ‘below and above and beyond all quarrels’: The Irish Free State in the British tabloids\, 1922-1932
DESCRIPTION:University of Galway History Research Seminar: \n‘below and above and beyond all quarrels’: The Irish Free State in the British tabloids\, 1922-1932  \nDr Elspeth Payne (Trinity College Dublin)  \nAbstract \nIn this talk\, I explore how the British popular press engaged with the newly independent Irish Free State. While situating content in its wider political context\, I focus on the continued cultural and social entanglement found across the diverse tabloid news content. I consider how notable events like Saint Patrick’s Day\, the Dublin Horse Show\, and the Eucharistic Congress focused attention and betrayed continued press enthusiasm for all things Irish. I discuss the multifaceted types and tropes appearing daily and the ideas about Anglo-Irish connections underpinning them. Finally\, I reflect on how this non-political content can be used to better understand how the tabloids navigate the political changes of the decade. \nBiography \nDr Elspeth (Ellie) Payne is the Coordinator of The Democracy Forum and Research Fellow at the Trinity Long Room Hub Arts and Humanities Research Institute in Trinity College Dublin. The Democracy Forum brings together Arts and Humanities researchers and media practitioners to interrogate questions relating to democracy\, media\, and technology. She is the co-creator and co-host of History of the Future podcast series and involved in the Critical ChangeLab\, an EU-funded project on democracy education. She is currently writing  working on a monograph on the British tabloids and Ireland after independence. She holds a PhD and MPhil from Trinity College Dublin and a BA from the University of Oxford. \nRegistration\nThis is a hybrid event. The paper will be delivered in-person\, in Room G010\, Hardiman Research Building\, University of Galway (ground floor) and livestreamed simultaneously on Zoom: https://universityofgalway-ie.zoom.us/j/97267209505. \nSeminars are not recorded. \nTo attend via Zoom\, please register at: https://forms.office.com/e/4LfJ8JhVCn \nThis talk is part of the University of Galway History Seminar series. \nImage: selection of pages from the British press\, 1922.

SUMMARY:The School of Political Science and Sociology research seminar: “Moral obligation as a conclusive reason: On Bernard Williams’ critique of the morality system”
DESCRIPTION:The School of Political Science and Sociology invite you to a research seminar  \nwith Dr Allyn Fives  \n(Discipline of Politics; Power\, Conflict\, and Ideologies research cluster)  \n“Moral obligation as a conclusive reason: On Bernard Williams’ critique of the morality system”  \nBernard Williams’ critique of the morality system\, as illustrated in his reading of Aeschylus’ Agamemnon\, is intended to show both that real moral conflicts can arise\, and that a moral obligation is merely one reason among others and can be defeated by the thick concepts of a shared ethical life. I want to advance two lines of argument. First\, when Williams argues that a moral obligation can be the locus of moral conflict\, a further step is required to explain why one should feel regret for not acting on a defeated reason. Second\, Williams presupposes that\, when a conflict is resolved\, the conclusive reason will be a thick concept\, but there is no compelling justification for that assumption. \nPlease also find full paper at: Allyn_Fives_Bernard_Williams_Paper_2024. \nAll welcome! \nImage: ‘At the feet of Athena\, Greek warriors draw lots for the armour of Achilles’.

SUMMARY:University of Galway History Research Seminar: Teaching the nation’s past: Irish history in secondary schools\, 1924-69
DESCRIPTION:University of Galway History Research Seminar:  \nTeaching the nation’s past: Irish history in secondary schools\, 1924-69  \nDr Colm Mac Gearailt (University of Galway)  \nAchoimre/Abstract: \nWhat we teach shows what we value. This talk considers the version(s) of the past set for study\, taught in schools\, and learned by students in the Irish Free State and beyond. It tracks history as a subject\, and specifically Irish history within this\, from 1924\, when the Department of Education was first founded\, until 1969\, and the period of ‘modernisation’. As part of this investigation\, it examines three key research questions: Firstly\, what Irish history was taught\, how it was taught\, and why? Secondly\, what cultural and political ideologies influenced the teaching of Irish history during this period? Finally\, how did policy and official rhetoric relate to practice\, and the reality of history at school-level.  It contends that a narrative of Irish history was promoted in secondary schools which tended to focus on a traditional ‘Great Man’ approach to history with a strong emphasis on high politics\, and on religion. This narrative was not as simplistic however as previously assumed. By taking the differing emphases in the major textbooks into account\, and appreciating how the Certificate examinations were not solely focussed on promoting a militant version of Irish Catholic history\, it challenges the received understanding of Irish history as taught in secondary schools during the period under investigation. \n Biography \nDr Colm Mac Gearailt completed his IRC-funded PhD\, entitled ‘Teaching the Nation’s Past: Irish History in Secondary Schools\, 1924-69’ at Trinity College Dublin in 2019. He has lectured on the History of Education with Marino Institute of Education\, Hibernia College\, and with TCD. In 2022 he completed a post-doctoral research position with SEALBHÚ\, DCU\, where he conducted an Early Enactment Review of the Junior Cycle Irish Curriculum Specifications (L1 and L2)\, on behalf of the NCCA. During his PhD\, Mac Gearailt also translated the autobiographies of Earnáin de Blaghad from Irish to English\, which were subsequently used towards the late Prof. David Fitzpatrick’s Ernest Blythe: A Double Life (Cork 2018). He is currently a postdoctoral researcher at University of Galway\, on the ‘CARTLANN: Gníomhaíochas\, teanga agus na meáin’ project; a study of the Conradh na Gaeilge archives\, specifically considering language activism\, the Irish language\, and the media in the twentieth century. The research is funded by The HEA North-South Research Programme 2021\, under the Shared Island Initiative. He is a published poet\, and has also worked in television. \nRegistration\nThis is a hybrid event. The paper will be delivered in-person\, in Room G010\, Hardiman Research Building\, University of Galway (ground floor) and livestreamed simultaneously on Zoom: https://universityofgalway-ie.zoom.us/j/98107440319. \nSeminars are not recorded. \nTo attend via Zoom\, please register at: https://forms.office.com/e/d7Bg2N2gCg  \nThis talk is part of the University of Galway History Seminar series. \nImage: detail from the cover of Mark Tierney and Margaret MacCurtain\, The birth of modern Ireland (1969).

SUMMARY:Digital Humanities Research Group seminar: "To have the 'million' readers yet": applying OCR & NER to bilingual Irish-English texts in An Gaodhal (1881–1898)
DESCRIPTION:Digital Humanities Research Group seminar \nDeirdre Ní Chonghaile\, Glucksman Ireland House\, New York University\nOksana Dereza\, Data Science Institute\, University of Galway \n“To have the ‘million’ readers yet”: applying OCR & NER to bilingual Irish-English texts in An Gaodhal (1881–1898) \n  \nAbstract:\nComputerized text extraction for the Irish language (Gaeilge) faces a number of challenges\, the most significant of which is the machine-readability of cló Gaelach\, the typeface most commonly used in hand-written and printed Irish-language material up until the 1960s. To date\, only a handful of OCR training models attuned to cló Gaelach\, and to pre-standardized spelling\, have emerged and none were trained on bilingual texts (Irish-English). Using the text-recognition software Transkribus\, a team at New York University and University of Galway have developed two new OCR models: a Gaeilge-only model and a bilingual Gaeilge-English model. The core dataset for this OCR training exercise is the Brooklyn-based bilingual monthly newspaper An Gaodhal (1881-1898)\, the first serial dedicated to providing content to an Irish-language readership\, which was established\, edited\, and printed by Galwayman Micheál Ó Lócháin (1836-1899). The contents of the newspaper reflect the cultural interests of Irish speakers in New York\, Ireland\, and the wider diaspora; Irish American life; New York history; and the development of the Irish language during the Celtic Revival period. Using the texts extracted from An Gaodhal\, which are being corrected at word level\, the team is developing NER (named entity recognition) tools to aid future NLP work in the Irish language. This work-in-progress presentation will share learnings from this on-going project. \nRegistration \nTo to attend via Zoom\, please register here: https://forms.office.com/e/CvkPkh39sJ

SUMMARY:Translation Café: 'Four-Eyes Readers and characters: Translation choices and the creation of characters in three versions of Manolito Gafotas
DESCRIPTION:Translation Café: ‘Four-Eyes Readers and characters: Translation choices and the creation of characters in three versions of Manolito Gafotas  \nby Dr Maria Pilar Alderete Diez  \n(Spanish\, University of Galway and CITN – Children in Translation Network) \nIn this translation café\, we will have a look at three English versions of a Spanish book series marketed for children. We will discuss in small groups what version we prefer and why\, in order to get some insights on how translator choices influence our reading of character\, voice and the appeal of the story itself. Prepare yourself to let your inner child read and react to what’s on the page and verbalize what you would like to have on the page. \nTranslation Café is a monthly event run by the Emily Andeson Centre for Translation Research and Practice. It functions as a reading group for colleagues interested in the many facets of the art of translation. The format of the group is designed to allow participants share their interests/research/linguistic investigations with other colleagues in an informal manner. \nColleagues interested in leading future Translation Café meetings this year are invited to email irina.ruppo@universityofgalway.ie.

SUMMARY:University of Galway History Research Seminar: How Indigenous Americans Discovered Europe
DESCRIPTION:University of Galway History Research Seminar \nDr Caroline Dodds Pennock  \n(University of Sheffield) \nAbstract \nDespite growing scholarly work to the contrary\, the popular image of early modern Europe remains an extraordinarily white\, ruffed and cod-pieced Tudor fantasy\, where Indigenous\, African and Asian people existed only as curiosities from distant lands. But\, in reality\, tens of thousands of Indigenous people – Maya\, Totonac\, Tupí\, Aztec-Mexica\, Inuit\, Taíno and others – travelled to Europe from the moment of first encounter\, many unwillingly\, but some by choice. \nFrom the Brazilian ‘king’ who met Henry VIII to the Aztecs who mocked up human sacrifice at the court of Charles V; from the Inuk baby who was put on show in a London pub to the mestizo children of Spaniards who returned ‘home’ with their fathers; from the Inuit who harpooned ducks on the Avon river to the many servants and enslaved people employed by Europeans of every rank: here are people who were rendered exotic\, demeaned\, and marginalised\, but whose worldviews and cultures had a profound impact on European civilisation. \nIn this talk\, Caroline Dodds Pennock will introduce her new book\, On Savage Shores: How Indigenous Americans Discovered Europe\, reflecting on some of the earliest Indigenous travellers\, and explaining why it is so important to challenge popular perceptions of the early modern period and write an Indigenous-centred history of the Atlantic world. \nSpeaker Biography \nDr Caroline Dodds Pennock is Senior Lecturer in International History at the University of Sheffield. Her first trade book On Savage Shores: How Indigenous Americans Discovered Europe was published in January 2023 and has been warmly received\, being selected as one of the best history books of the year by Smithsonian Magazine\, The Economist\, BBC History Magazine and others. Caroline is probably best known as the only British Aztec historian\, and her first book\, Bonds of Blood: Gender\, Lifecycle and Sacrifice in Aztec Culture (2008\, PB: 2011) won the Royal Historical Society’s Gladstone Prize for 2008. As well as pestering people on twitter @carolinepennock\, Caroline also works as a popular history writer\, consultant\, and ‘talking head’ expert for TV and radio\, having appeared on programmes for broadcasters including the BBC\, Channel 4\, Sky and Netflix. \nRegistration\nThis is an online only event\, streamed via Zoom: https://universityofgalway-ie.zoom.us/j/95635528755. \nTo attend via Zoom\, please register at: https://forms.office.com/e/Ji5c8Q3UQJ \nThis talk is part of the University of Galway History Seminar series. \nAll are welcome!

SUMMARY:University of Galway History Seminar: Alms-Collecting and Information Gathering: Spanish Franciscan Commissioners and the Global Expansion of Holy Land Devotion
DESCRIPTION:University of Galway History Seminar: Alms-Collecting and Information Gathering: Spanish Franciscan Commissioners and the Global Expansion of Holy Land Devotion \nProfessor Megan Armstrong (McMaster University) \nThe next University of Galway History Research Seminar of the semester will take place at 4.00pm on Wednesday\, 21 February 2024. The speaker will join us online\, but colleagues are welcome to join us in Room G010\, Hardiman Building\, where the talk will be livestreamed\, via Zoom: https://universityofgalway-ie.zoom.us/j/93981848717 \nPlease note the change of date. This talk has been brought forward from 28 February. \nFollowing the seminar\, at 5.15pm\, will be the in-person launch of Bríd McGrath’s The Operations of the Irish House of Commons\, 1613-1648 (Four Courts Press\, 2023). The book will be launched by Professor Nicholas Canny\, MRIA\, FBA. For those of you joining us online\, you can use the same Zoom link as above to access the book launch. \nAbstract \nThis paper explores the commissioners of the holy land\, a unique alms-gathering institution affiliated with the Custody of the Holy Land.  The Custody\, based in Jerusalem\, has overseen Catholic pilgrimage to the Holy Land since the fourteenth century. Since that time it has also been under the governance of members of the Observant Franciscan Order.  Through their circulation of alms and religious mementoes\, commissioners played an active role in promoting Catholic devotion to the Christian holy places between Jerusalem and a global Catholic tradition. My talk explores one dimension that is critical for understanding its role in promoting holy land devotion—and that was its partnership with the Spanish state. The Spanish monarchy was the single most important patron of the Custody by the fifteenth century. From the sixteenth century onwards\, commissioners boarded Spanish ships headed for the farthest reaches of its expanding empire\, carrying religious mementoes and returning with monies and other forms of religious donations in support of the Holy Land pilgrimage.  Correspondence produced by the commissioners reveals a mutually beneficial partnership\, one that pivoted upon the dual functions of these Franciscan officials as information gathers as well as alms-collectors. On the one hand\, Spanish patronage of the commissioners extended the spiritual geography of the Custody in its efforts to keep the Christian holy places at the centre of Catholic devotion. On the other hand\, the Spanish monarchy saw its own political and religious authority enhanced through its material and ideological association with the Custody\, a Franciscan institution that by virtue of its traditional mobile character and location within the boundaries of the Ottoman empire extended Habsburg reach more deeply into the eastern Mediterranean. \nSpeaker Biography \nMegan Armstrong is Professor of History at McMaster University. She is a specialist on religion and politics with a special focus upon Early Modern Catholicism and the Holy Land. Her most recent publication is The Holy Land and the Early Modern Reinvention of Catholicism (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press\, 2021). She is presently working on three research projects: Global Pilgrimage to the Holy Land\, 1450-1700: Sacred Space and Cultural Interactions (Under contract with Routledge)\, Easter Processions and Religious Coexistence in Early Modern Jerusalem\, 1500—1700\, and Collecting for the Holy Land: The Commissioners of the Holy Land in the global expansion of the Early Modern Catholic Church.

SUMMARY:School of Psychology Research Seminar: How to be an Academic in a World on Fire: Talk & Hands-On Workshop
DESCRIPTION:School of Psychology Research Seminar: How to be an Academic in a World on Fire\nTalk & Hands-On Workshop\nDr. Clare Kelly\, Trinity College Dublin \nMonday 26th February 12:30-15:00 \n(lunch included)\nG065 AMBE\, University of Galway \nAddressing the climate crisis requires radical and urgent action at all levels of society. Universities are ideally positioned to lead such action but are largely failing to do so. At the same time\, many academic scientists find their work impeded by corporatization and bureaucracy\, a loss of academic freedom\, overwork\, casualisation\, and poor mental health. In this talk\, I will describe a recent paper that draws on Kate Raworth’s Doughnut Economics framework to rethink academia\, which increasingly transgresses human and planetary limits while failing to provide a socially just foundation for its communities. In response\, we suggest seven new principles for reimagining the norms of academic practice (Urai & Kelly\, 2023). Based on these principles\, we propose a call to action\, and encourage academics to take concrete steps towards a thriving scientific enterprise that both works better for people and responds to the climate crisis. \nDo you want to learn more? Following the talk\, a hands on workshop (see https://anneurai.net/doughnut-academia/) will support participants to take concrete steps toward action. Participants will analyse current academic norms through a doughnut lens to identify and rethink unhelpful practices and to identify actions that will institute new ones. Activities will equip participants with new knowledge\, motivation\, and allegiances that will support them to take action – in their local context and as part of the global community. \nSign up for the workshop (and reminder!) here: https://forms.gle/Speanj9xkeZiyuJ46 \nClare Kelly PhD is an Associate Professor in the School of Psychology and Department of Psychiatry at the School of Medicine\, Trinity College Dublin\, and a Principal Investigator at Trinity College Institute of Neuroscience (https://immalab.wordpress.com/). Clare is a developmental cognitive neuroscientist whose research to date has largely focused on using translational brain imaging techniques to better understand psychiatric conditions such as depression by tracing the origins of these conditions in the developing brain. More recently\, Clare’s focus has broadened to include teaching\, research\, and advocacy on the climate and biodiversity crisis. She was recently awarded a Sustainability Leadership Award and a Teaching Award for her undergraduate teaching on the psychology of the climate crisis. Working with Anne Urai (https://anneurai.net/)\, she argues that many aspects of scientific culture and practice act as a barrier to climate action\, and that we need reimagine academia in a way that works better for people and enables climate action.

SUMMARY:Centre for Creative Technologies Masterclass Series: Co-Designing Socially Engaged Research: The Approach of Immersive Empathy
DESCRIPTION:Co-Designing Socially Engaged Research: The Approach of Immersive Empathy \n\n\n\n\nPart of the Masterclasses @ Centre for Creative Technologies collection. \n\n\n\n\nIntroducing the methods used on the Immersive Empathy project along with some of the ethical questions raised by socially engaged research. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event will also be streamed via Zoom – if you would prefer to attend online\, register at: https://universityofgalway-ie.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Pe258ixkQGmJUdxCY4I_DQ \nMuch has been written about the power of virtual reality to put the viewer in someone else’s shoes and increase empathy towards those who experience social marginalization. However the wave of humanitarian VR films that have been produced in recent years has also raised questions about who gets to tell their stories and on whose terms they are invited to speak. Whilst viewers of virtual reality films can find themselves transported to a Syrian refugee camp or a slum in Kenya\, critics have argued that such films act less as challenges to inequalities than as a form of misery tourism. \nThe Immersive Empathy Project is an initiative of researchers within the disciplines of film\, drama\, psychology\, business and digital humanities at the University of Galway that responds to both the potential and the criticisms of immersive reality as a tool for social change. Working with clients of Galway Simon who have experienced homelessness\, it situates the principles of co-creation and consent at the heart of its storytelling process. Over the course of several months\, it involved a series of workshops that empowered the participants to tell their own stories and to translate those personal narratives into an immersive film\, Lost & Found\, exploring the experience of homelessness from the perspective of those who have lived it. \nThis masterclass will introduce participants to the methodologies employed on the Immersive Empathy project along with some of the ethical questions raised by socially engaged research. \nThe Immersive Empathy project has received funding from the Irish Research Council\, Science Foundation Ireland\, and the Illuminate fund\, run by the College of Arts\, Social Sciences and Celtic Studies at University of Galway. \n\nRegistration:\nCo-Designing Socially Engaged Research: The Approach of Immersive Empathy Tickets\, Tue\, Feb 27\, 2024 at 12:00 PM | Eventbrite

SUMMARY:Irish Studies Seminar: “Embedded in Zeitgeist\, Embodying Zeitgeist: Traditional Music and Arts Developments in Galway\, 1971-1981”
DESCRIPTION:Irish Studies Seminar Series\, 2023-24 (in person\, and on zoom) \nDr Anna Falkenau\, “Embedded in Zeitgeist\, Embodying Zeitgeist: Traditional Music and Arts Developments in Galway\, 1971-1981” \nFocusing on the urban site of Galway City\, this paper explores the embeddedness of Irish traditional music and arts events in the zeitgeist of the 1970s. Described in a national context as “a decade of cultural\, social and economic transition” (Verena Commins 2014)\, on a local level\, Galway “awakened from a sleepy town a happening arts town” (Kernan Andrews 2013). Throughout my paper\, I explore the pathway of key actor Ollie Jennings\, active in Galway’s changing cultural landscape from the mid 1970s. My analysis shows that Galway’s vibrant scene of Irish traditional and folk music-making in public houses and other public spaces – only in place since the early 1970s – was at the root of inceptive arts developments during this decade. My discussion further reveals that it was a concoction of agency and circumstance that enabled Ollie Jennings’ success as music and arts promoter; his actions were at once embedded in zeitgeist\, but also embodied it. Ultimately\, I put forward a re-interpretation of Galway’s recent socio-cultural history. \nDr Anna Falkenau \nA recipient of a Freyer-Hardiman scholarship from the University of Galway\, Anna Falkenau is currently concluding doctoral research on micro and macro flows in the development of Irish traditional music in Galway City between 1961 and 1981. She previously received her Master of Arts in Music from Wesleyan University\, Connecticut\, USA (2004) and graduated from University College Cork (BMus\, 2002). Publications to date include a core chapter entitled “‘It was in the Air’: Irish Traditional Music in Galway\, 1960-1979\,” contributed to Hardiman & Beyond: The Arts and Culture of Galway Since 1820\, edited by John Cunningham and Ciaran McDonagh. Anna Falkenau is also an active performer of Irish traditional music (violin). She has released two critically acclaimed albums: her solo CD Féileacán na Saoirse – The Butterfly of Freedom (2014) and I Can Hear You Calling with five-string banjo player Lena Ullman (2017)\, both albums receiving four-star reviews in The Irish Times. www.annafalkenau.com \nThis seminar will take place in the Seminar Room\, Centre for Irish Studies\, School of Geography\, Archaeology and Irish Studies\, 4 Distillery Road\, University of Galway\, and on zoom here: https://universityofgalway-ie.zoom.us/j/99430390639?pwd=Z3g0WEU0KzA2K051MlZWVVRFdFgxdz09
