SUMMARY:Ireland\, Borders\, and Covid-19 - Covid-19 Response Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Update: Video and audio recordings of this session are now available. \n\nThis panel brings together perspectives from Sociology\, Political Science and Public Health to examine debates surrounding boundaries and pandemic-control in Ireland and their relationship to pandemic controls in Britain\, Europe and the wider world. It examines the extent\, and the limitations\, of an all-Ireland approach\, the significance of variation within the United Kingdom\, and the nature of borders within and around post-pandemic Ireland. \nAs the Covid-19 pandemic spread rapidly across the world in the early weeks and months of 2020\, new kinds of boundaries were established while existing borders took on a new significance: from the self-regulated two-metre boundary that now surrounds every individual\, to the local\, regional\, and inter-state boundaries that are being deployed to control the spread of the virus. \nTwo distinctively different kinds of boundary are of particular significance in the case of Ireland: the natural boundary of the sea and the island’s contested but porous land border. In common with other islands\, Ireland enjoys a natural ‘isolation’ that can be used to help control the spread of disease\, offering the possibility of following the path New Zealand has taken to create a zone that is almost free of the virus. Brexit had already pushed the Irish border to the heart of debate on the future UK-EU relationship as it became a line of new international significance. The experience of the coronavirus crisis will further complicate all analysis of the future of Ireland’s borders\, not least by underlining the fact that borders are not only lines of division but points of connection too. \nPanellists\n\nDr. Katy Hayward (Queen’s University Belfast)\nProf. Niall Ó Dochartaigh (NUI Galway)\nDr. Gabriel Scally (Bristol)\n\nChair: Prof Daniel Carey (NUI Galway) \nRegistration\nYou can register to join via Zoom at: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_AVqWyP_SR-yYcrHSXXiANw. The session will also be broadcast live on our Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/mooreinstitute/live.

SUMMARY:G2020/NUIG: Conference: Translating the Neighbourhood: Migration\, dialogue and spaces of translation in the 21st century
DESCRIPTION:Keynotes:\nProf. Loredana Polezzi (Cardiff) – Prof. Sherry Simon (Concordia) \nUrban spaces have always been places of translation (Simon 2012; Meylaerts and Gonne 2014; Cronin and Simon 2014)\, where encounters between languages and cultures have given birth to both conflict and exchange. In the last few decades\, increasingly diverse urban environments have emerged\, making coexistence between different communities a key contemporary issue. As a multi-disciplinary event\, this conference explores urban spaces (cities and towns) as areas of translation\, of dialogue and silence\, communication and interaction. \nThis conference is specifically preoccupied with translation in society and beyond the text: translation as the managing of difference\, a tool for inclusion or exclusion within the context of the contemporary urban space. As a multi-disciplinary\, multi-media event\, the conference intends to explore the different instances where people perform translation on the social stage in response to the many challenges and stimuli of 21st century globalization. Some of these translations are performed by professionals\, some by non-professionals; some are intended to impact policy or contribute to a public debate\, while others may last the short space of an oral exchange. \nThe conference “Translating the Neighbourhood: Migration\, dialogue and spaces of translation in the 21st century” takes place within the scope of the IRC and MSCA funded project “Language Integration and New Communities in Multicultural Societies”. We welcome papers that explore different instances of translation and dialogue\, including but not limited to: \n• translation and asylum;\n• translation and minorities;\n• translation in specific places (shops\, cafés\, streets\, markets);\n• translation and education in multilingual settings;\n• language biographies of newcomers;\n• translation and public performance (e.g. multicultural theatre);\n• translingual art in/about the city;\n• translation policy in urban spaces;\n• formal vs. informal translation and interpreting;\n• absent spaces of translation \nThe conference will take place in Galway – a bilingual city and the 2020 European Capital of Culture. During the first day\, speakers will present their research\, followed by keynote addresses by Prof. Loredana Polezzi (Cardiff University) and Prof. Sherry Simon (Concordia University). On the second day\, practitioners\, artists\, performers and activists who work in the field will collaboratively conduct workshops and demonstrations of translation in the neighbourhood. \nFor further information\, please contact the organisers Andrea Ciribuco and Anne O’Connor at: andrea.ciribuco@nuigalway.ie and anne.oconnor@nuigalway.ie

SUMMARY:COVID-19 Response Webinar - Education during Covid-19: precarity\, privilege\, purpose
DESCRIPTION:Update: Video & audio recordings of this session are now available \n\nThe Covid-19 crisis has led to the mass closure of educational institutions and an ensuing scramble to provide schooling at home. Aspects of the education system normally taken for granted have come into relief in the midst of a new sense of precarity. This seminar looks at pressing concerns emerging from current research on education provision\, such as the exacerbation of existing educational inequities and the pivot to technology. We also consider longer-term implications and ask whether this could be an opportunity to reimagine education and schooling. \nParticipants\n\nManuela Heinz (chair)\nCornelia Connolly\nTony Hall\nIan Munday\nClíona Murray\n\nAll of the School of Education at NUI Galway. \nRegistration \nYou can register to join via Zoom at: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_q2fOTnv6QiKzLBAV6aLqfA. As there are a limited number of spaces available on Zoom\, the session will also be broadcast live on our Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/mooreinstitute/live\, and will be broadcast by FlirtFM on FM radio and audio web-stream.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED - School of Political Science & Sociology Seminar Series: 'Conflicting political obligations: A response to philosophical anarchism'
DESCRIPTION:by Allyn Fives (Power\, Conflict and Ideologies) \nThis paper addresses two key aspects of A. John Simmons’s philosophical anarchism. First\, as a value pluralist\, he maintains that obligations are not conclusive reasons for action\, whereas overridden obligations are nonetheless genuine obligations. As a result\, we can be faced with genuine moral conflicts concerning our political obligations. Second\, according to his anarchist position on the grounds of political obligation\, citizens have obligations only when they have voluntarily entered into cooperative arrangements which they benefit from. Therefore\, most citizens of most modern states do not have political obligations. And that means actual conflicts between obligations will be extremely rare. \nIn response to Simmons\, Jonathan Wolff and George Klosko have each argued that most citizens of modern states do have political obligations\, and this can be shown by considering the diversity of grounds for obligations\, including mutual self-interest\, fairness\, justice\, and the common good. However\, they also conclude that\, although there is a plurality of obligations\, conflicts between them are extremely rare. \nIn this paper\, I try to show that Wolff and Klosko succeed in rejecting Simmons’s anarchist position on the grounds of political obligations\, but fail to reject his value pluralist position on moral conflict. The implication is that citizens are bound by diverse requirements\, including obligations to protect citizens from harm\, to promote the common good\, and to diminish unjust inequalities. Not only that\, conflicts between such obligations are not rare but are\, instead\, one of the characteristic features of political life for citizens of modern states.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED - School of Political Science & Sociology Seminar Series: Deliberative mini-publics in the democratic system
DESCRIPTION:by Jane Suiter (Dublin City University) \nDemocracy is more than deliberation and deliberative mini-publics  do not make a democracy. Yet mini-publics are proliferating not just in Ireland but in Scotland\, Belgium\, France and elsewhere. This paper uses the example of the Irish Constitutional Convention and Citizens’ Assembly to ask  how mini-publics  can  be located within a broader democratic system and  looks at (potential) linkages of mini-publics with other democratic practices and actors such as voting\, referendums\, parliaments\, political parties\, social movements\, media\, or the public sphere in a   ‘hybrid’ form of representative democracy which can accommodate and couple both electoral and sortition driven representation. \nJane  Suiter is an Associate Professor in the School of Communications at Dublin City University. Jane’s expertise lies mainly in the area of the public sphere; and in particular participation and deliberation. Her current research focus is on  citizens’ assemblies and on disinformation. She is Senior Research Fellow on the Irish Citizen Assembly (2019-2020) (2016-2018) and the Irish Constitutional Convention (2012-2014) and a founder member of We the Citizens (2011)\, Ireland’s first deliberative experiment. She is a member of the Research Advisory Group on the Scottish Citizens’ Assembly. In 2019 she was the recipient of the Brown Democracy Medal from the McCourtney Institute of Democracy at Penn State and theDCU President’s Award for Research. Her latest book (with David M. Farell) is ReimaginingDemocracy: Lessons in Deliberative Democracy from the Irish Frontline published by Cornell University Press. She has published in 30 plus journals including Representation\, International Journal of Political Science\, Electoral Studies\, Politics and the International Journal of Communication.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED - Feminist Storytelling Network\, NUI Galway: Staging the Incarcerated Female Body: Records and Representations
DESCRIPTION:TO BE RESCHEDULED AT A LATER DATE \n  \nSponsored by: NUI Galway College of Arts\, Social Sciences and Celtic Studies Research Support Scheme\, Drama and Theatre Studies\, Gender ARC \nRegistration: Tickets (free) available on Eventbrite. \nFor queries\, please email Dr Miriam Haughton: ‘miriam.haughton@nuigalway.ie’. \nFor information on upcoming or past FSN events\, please check the website and social media: feministstorytelling.ie\, @feministstories \nOverview \nThis symposium considers official records and cultural representations regarding women’s experience in modern Ireland and Northern Ireland. In recent decades\, urgent histories led by scholars\, artists and activists have shed new insights into the systemic practices of incarcerating ‘deviant’ or ‘Othered’ women\, the threats faced by women due to the legal dominion that prescribes female embodiment\, the trafficking and illegal adoption of children\, and\, the significance of centring these experiences as part of modern discourse and consciousness. Decades of historical enquiry\, performance\, poetry\, literature\, visual and fine art\, documentary and recorded media capture both testimonial accounts and creative response. In this way\, they act as another type of canon\, one that explores the darker moments of Irish life\, where women’s experience – physically\, emotionally\, sexually\, culturally – was oppressed\, threatened and violated\, in explicit and insidious ways \nAreas of enquiry will include\, but are not limited to\, institutionalisation in Magdalen Laundries\, Mother and Baby Homes\, psychiatric institutions and prisons\, and the threats faced by those engaging in sex work or termination of pregnancies. However\, the interpretation of ‘incarceration’ will also extend to instances of limiting\, censoring and suppressing histories\, ideologies and experiences. Throughout the symposium\, students will deliver intermittent performance art encounters that become embedded into the event\, contributing to and reflecting the dialogue. \nSchedule \n10am: Registration\, Mick Lally Theatre\, Druid \nBeginning of performance art encounters throughout the theatre \n10.15: Opening Remarks \nProfessor Ciarán Ó hÓgartaigh\, President\, NUI Galway \nDr Miriam Haughton\, Drama and Theatre Studies \n10.45 – 11.30: The Tuam Oral Histories Project \nDr Sarah-Anne Buckley and Dr John Cunningham\, History\, NUI Galway \n11.30 – 12.15: Women and Illegal Adoption \nConall Ó Fátharta\, Journalist\, Irish Examiner \n12.15 – 1.00: Archiving institutionalisation: Legacies and Limitations \nDr Barry Houlihan\, Archivist\, NUI Galway \n1.00 – 2.00: Light lunch provided \nPerformance encounters ongoing \n2.00 – 2.45: Performing Women’s ‘Deviant’ Bodies \nDr Áine Phillips\, Lecturer and Performance Artist (Burren College of Art) \n2.45 – 3.15: Writing Women’s Internal Landscapes \nElaine Feeney\, Poet and Novelist \n3.15 – 4.00: Bodies of Evidence: Reading Mad Flesh \nDr Anna Harpin (Warwick) \n4.00 – 4.30: Concluding remarks \nRecommended Reading and Viewing \nLee Daniels (dir)\, Precious\, Lionsgate\, 2009 \nCaelainn Hogan\, Republic of Shame\, Penguin\, 2019 \nConall Ó Fátharta\, ‘State’s Reaction is to Deny\, Delay and to Buy Silence’\, The Irish Examinerhttps://www.irishexaminer.com/breakingnews/specialreports/states-reaction-is-to-deny-delay-and-to-buy-silence-890976.html \nCatherine Corless\, ‘The Home’\, Journal of the Old Tuam Society\, 2012.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED - Modernist Studies Ireland: Works in Progress: ‘The Plagiarist's Philosophy: Coincidence in James Joyce and Malcolm Lowry’ and ‘Archival Remnants of Joyce’s Leopoldina and Woolf’s Orlanda’
DESCRIPTION:TO BE RESCHEDULED AT A LATER DATE \nModernist Studies Ireland is delighted to re-launch its Works in Progress series with a double act on Monday\, 16th March\, at 4 pm in THB—GO11. You are cordially invited to join us for what promises to be two fantastic talks by early career researchers\, shining a light on new research in Joyce studies as well as genetic criticism. Our speakers are Emily Bell\, NUIG alumna and now doctoral researcher at the University of Antwerp\, Belgium\, and Casey Lawrence\, a PhD candidate at Trinity College Dublin. \nEmily’s talk\, entitled ‘The Plagiarist’s Philosophy: Coincidence in James Joyce and Malcolm Lowry’\, will offer an imaginative solution to conceptualising intertextuality in Joyce’s oeuvre in connection with the late modernist Malcolm Lowry. It considers both the individual and dependent intertextualities of the works of Joyce and Lowry—two writers preoccupied by coincidence—as well as the impact this has on the possibility of originality. \nCasey’s talk\, elucidating the ‘Archival Remnants of Joyce’s Leopoldina and Woolf’s Orlanda’\, combines genetic study with a gender-critical approach in her analysis of how early drafts of Joyce’s and Woolf’s works independently push the boundaries of grammatical and sexual gender. Here\, Joyce and Woolf\, her talk reveals\, conflate the two (grammar and sex) and in so doing attempt to see beyond the binary\, so that man-becoming-woman is no longer fantasy\, but indeed part of the grammar of our everyday lives.

SUMMARY:School of Political Science & Sociology Seminar Series: Agitating for political rights: local and visiting suffragists of the West of Ireland
DESCRIPTION:By Mary Clancy (Global Women’s Studies) \nAt a time of heightened international debate about democratic and social change during the early decades of the twentieth century\, the place of the woman citizen remained contentious. The demand to extend the parliamentary franchise to qualified women\, debated in Westminster\, for instance\, since the mid-19th century\, was politically and socially divisive despite the democratic inevitability of its objective. Argument in favour of Irish Home Rule (especially from 1886) complicated the politics of the suffrage debate. The West of Ireland tends to be ignored in analyses of the suffrage campaign. However\, it is an exceptionally important and interesting space in which to study how and why the question of political rights for women was visible and\, on occasion\, volatile. From north Mayo to Galway\, local and visiting activists organised in civic and public spaces\, powerful representatives of an ignored political class. In reconstructing this history of regional suffrage activism\, the talk evaluates the nature of the agitation\, and the impact of a complex effort that embodied international ideals of women’s rights\, local political perspectives and memories of earlier women’s activism within the region. \nMary Clancy\, School of Political Science and Sociology\, NUI Galway. Publications include (forthcoming)\, with C Beaumont and L Ryan\, ‘Networks as “Laboratories of experience”: exploring the life cycle of the Irish suffrage movement and its aftermaths in Ireland\, 1870-1937’\, Women’s History Review and ‘Women’s suffrage in the West of Ireland: Different influences and Life-stories in Histories of Citizenship’\, Journal of the Galway Archaeological and Historical Society\, 2018\, (70)\, pp.119-130.
