Open Scholarship Café: Podcasts and deflationary technology as means of opening up learning
2022-03-15 11:00 - 12:00 | Online
Dr. Kieran Fitzpatrick

Podcasts and deflationary technology as means of opening up learning

About this event

In 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.
To 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.
This will be a virtual session with link emailed prior to starting.

History Research Seminar Series: "Theatronomics The Business of Theatre, 1737-1809"
2022-03-23 16:00 - 17:00 | The Bridge Room THB-1001, First Floor, Hardiman Research Building, University of Galway
Professor David O’Shaughnessy (NUI Galway)
Theatronomics: The Business of Theatre, 1737-1809
Abstract
Eighteenth-century literary studies now acknowledges the centrality of the theatre to Georgian cultural and political life. However, scholars have virtually ignored its remarkable and voluminous financial archive. Account-books, ledgers, and ephemeral manuscript folios contain rich data on ticket sales, audience members, revenues, actor salaries, repayments to investors, costume, scenery and other costs: this is richly detailed source material that needs to be understood. This paper will first present a sketch of a new research project that will apply financial and econometric analysis to this data to write a new history of eighteenth-century theatrical culture (1732-1809). It will discuss how financial data for Covent Garden and Drury Lane will be analysed using econometric methods in order to incorporate the theatres’ underlying commercial operations to future research. Secondly, it will offer a case-study of how such an approach might help us test prevailing ideas in the field of eighteenth-century theatre by looking at the financials around Charles Macklin’s The Man of the World (Covent Garden, 1781), infamously the only play of the period to be twice refused a performance licence for its political satire.
Speaker Biography
Professor David O’Shaughnessy is personal professor at the School of English and Creative Arts, NUI Galway. He has published widely, including William Godwin and the Theatre (2010); a special issue of the journal Eighteenth-Century Life titled Networks of Aspiration: the London Irish of the Eighteenth Century (2015); a volume of essays titled The Censorship of Eighteenth-Century Theatre: Playhouses and Prohibition, 1737-1843 (in progress); and two additoinal edited collections of essays, Ireland, Enlightenment and the English Stage, 1740-1820 (2019) and Charles Macklin and the Theatres of London (2022). He has held fellowships at University of Oxford, University of Warwick, the Huntington Library and Caltech. His current projects include a new edition of Oliver Goldsmith’s collected works (8 volumes) for Cambridge University Press on which he is working with Michael Griffin (UL). This follows their Letters of Oliver Goldsmith for Cambridge University Press (2019). In 2020, he was awarded an ERC Consolidator Grant (€2m) to work on the finances of London theatres. This project brings together a postdoctoral team of humanities and economic scholars to apply econometric analysis to the financial archives of Covent Garden and Drury Lane. The project will apply these economic methodologies so that new perspectives on the careers of managers, playwrights, actors, and plays emerge.
Registration
This semester will take place in-person at 4.00pm on Wednesday, 23 March 2022 in Room 1001, Hardiman Building, NUI Galway (Bridge Seminar Room).

Political Science and Sociology Research Seminar: Humanitarian expressions of solidarity during the Cold War
2022-03-31 13:00 - 14:00 | The Bridge Room THB-1001, First Floor, Hardiman Research Building, University of Galway
This is an in-person event held in the Hardiman Research Building’s Bridge Seminar Room, THB-1001 (1st floor).

About this event

Humanitarian expressions of solidarity during the Cold War: a comparison of how the volatile security situation in Honduras conditioned the engagements of Oxfam and Médecins Sans Frontières with the principle of neutrality in the Salvadoran refugee camps, 1980-1982.
In the Salvadoran refugee camps in Honduras, NGOs encountered a Cold War humanitarian crisis that posed a very specific challenge to humanitarian action. What was the role of humanitarian actors when faced with a refugee population often treated as criminals by the host government? How should humanitarians have reacted when it turned out that the refugee camps at the border between El Salvador and Honduras were not in fact spaces of refuge at all, but spaces of danger, where the refugees remained targets of military harassment and violence, and where there was no guarantee that refugees would be safe from camp incursions by the Honduran or Salvadoran military, and their para-military accomplices? What is the meaning of the humanitarian principle of ‘neutrality’ in such a context?
This paper will compare the interventions of Oxfam and Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) to examine how the particularly volatile security conditions in the Salvadoran refugee crisis determined the parameters of humanitarian action. How did both NGOs engage with the principle of neutrality differently, and in what ways were their actions either constrained or pushed to reflect a more radical stance by security considerations? How far was each NGO willing to go in adopting a more contextual understanding of ethical action that reflected the imperatives of solidarity and human rights? This paper will examine the initial phase of the humanitarian relief programme, from 1980 to 1982, in which both Oxfam and MSF established and crystallised their roles in the humanitarian programme in the face of intense controversy over allegations of collusion by World Vision with the Honduran army, and the question of relocation of camps away from the border against the refugees’ wishes. In so doing, it will focus on how the security situation itself directly affected each organisation’s decision-making process, arguing that it simultaneously had the effect of radicalising and constraining humanitarian expressions of solidarity in Honduras.
Maria Cullen is a fourth year PhD candidate in the History Department at NUI Galway, working under the supervision of Dr. Kevin O’Sullivan. Her research is supported by the Irish Research Council (Government of Ireland Postgraduate Scholarship) and the National University of Ireland (NUI Travelling Studentship). The PhD project is a comparative study of the approach to ethical humanitarian action adopted by Médecins Sans Frontières and Oxfam in the 1980s. In particular, it looks at the issues surrounding the integration of human rights discourse into humanitarian relief within the polarised political context of the Cold War.

Irish Studies Seminar Series, 2021-22: “An Uneven Score: Gender Balance Investigation for Publicly Funded Composer Opportunities on the Island of Ireland (2004-2019)”
2022-03-31 14:00 - 15:00 | Online, via Zoom
“An Uneven Score: Gender Balance Investigation for Publicly Funded Composer Opportunities on the Island of Ireland (2004-2019)”
by Laura Watson (Dept. of Music, Maynooth University) and Michael Lydon (Centre for Irish Studies, NUI Galway)
Laura and Michael will speak on “An Uneven Score: Gender Balance Investigation for Publicly Funded Composer Opportunities on the Island of Ireland (2004-2019)”, in relation to an ongoing research project investigating the gender balance of publicly-funded composer opportunities on the island of Ireland from 2004-2019.
Ms Róisín Maher (Cork School of Music, MTU and PhD Scholar at DCU) and Dr Aileen Dillane (Irish World Academy of Music and Dance, University of Limerick) will join conversation as Guest Respondents, with Dr Verena Commins (Centre for Irish Studies, NUI Galway) as expert Chair for the session.
Abstract
This seminar outlines an ongoing research project investigating the gender balance of publicly funded composer opportunities on the island of Ireland from 2004-2019. The Research Project is being conducted over two phases by the Contemporary Music Centre, Ireland (CMC) and Sounding the Feminists (STF) in partnership. Upon a successful completion of Phase One, the project’s Research Associate Dr Michael Lydon began Phase Two in December 2021. Phase Two of this project is funded by the Arts Council of Ireland/An Chomhairle Ealaíon, through CMC Strategic Funding.
The completion of Phase One was achieved by Dr Ciara Murphy, resulting in ‘Scoping the Project Report’. This detailed report considers the feasibility of the project, while also establishing an authoritative list of funding and commissioning organisations that offer specific composer funded opportunities, while determining the availability of relevant records for the project. Phase Two is scheduled for completion in September 2022, at which point a detailed report will reveal the gender balance of composer funded opportunities on the island of Ireland.
The seminar begins by establishing the impetus behind the project, while offering a brief insight into Sounding the Feminists. Next, it considers the finding from Phase One, before focusing on Phase Two. Specially, this entails outlining the methodology, the progress of the project, while also considering any initially challenges. Ultimately, the seminar presents preliminary findings from this necessary investigation into the gender balance of publicly funded composer opportunities on the island of Ireland from 2004-2019.

CALM seminar: The CEFR at 20: What have we gained from it?

CALM seminar: The CEFR at 20: What have we gained from it?
Dr Dorothy Ní Uigín, NUI Galway
The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages was developed by the Council of Europe in the 1990s and published officially in 2001, with its principal aim being to establish transparency in language competency. While the CEFR is widely used throughout Europe and beyond, it is on occasion over-simplified, with people focusing on the one-page, six-level grid (A1 – C2) that describes the Framework, without really interrogating how it can be best used in language testing and assessment, and in authentic language learning. This talk hopes to move beyond the ‘grid’, and will focus on three aspects in particular of the CEFR and its influence over the past 20 years: language testing and self-assessment; language and cultural competences and lesser-spoken / heritage languages and the Framework. This investigation will help us to answer the question posed in the title of the talk: what have we gained from the CEFR?
Biographical Note
Dr Dorothy Ní Uigín is the Director of the Teaching of Irish in Acadamh na hOllscolaíochta Gaeilge, NUI Galway, where the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) was first adopted for Irish-language courses in 2005. She has a particular interest in language acquisition, translation, academic writing and integrity, as well as bilingualism and biculturalism. She has also published widely on the history of Irish-language journalism.

About this event

Anna Tulin-Brett & Niall Ó Dochartaigh: Appropriating peace theory: encounters between peacemaking practice and conflict resolution theory in Northern Ireland.
Conflict resolution originated as an activist discipline, but theorists of peace and conflict transformation have had a more limited impact on peacemaking practice than initially hoped. The resultant ‘gap between theory and practice’ (Deutsch & Coleman 2000) has stimulated a vibrant research literature concerned to analyse that gap and to close it. This paper interrogates the relationship between theoretical approaches and theorists of peace and conflict transformation on the one hand and those directly involved in conflicts as peacemakers or as protagonists on the other, exploring how theorists and theories of conflict transformation were incorporated by key actors during a particularly violent phase of the Northern Ireland conflict. It examines this relationship through a comparative study of two theory-seeking engagements. The first is that of Public Servant and Chairman of the Community Relations Commission in Northern Ireland, Dr Maurice Hayes, in the application of the ‘controlled communication’ approach developed by peace theorist John Burton and the second is the case of secret intermediary Brendan Duddy who drew on his work with the Tavistock Institute to inform his practice as a mediator between the IRA and the British government. The paper concludes with a preliminary analysis of the intricate relationship between theorists and practitioners in times of conflict and argue that not only did these theoretical approaches reach local practitioners and policy makers who were focused on local conflict management, but the theories also reached key figures involved in high-level secret negotiations between key parties to the conflict.
Anna Tulin Brett is a PhD candidate on her final year at the School of Political Science and Sociology, NUIG. Her thesis looks at how specific models of peace theory have been appropriated and deployed by policy makers and practitioners working with peacemaking and peacebuilding in Northern Ireland. Anna currently holds two Masters. One in International Cooperation and Crisis Management from Uppsala University, Sweden and one in Psychoanalytic Studies with the School of Psychology, Trinity College, Dublin.
Niall Ó Dochartaigh is Personal Professor of Political Science and Sociology at the National University of Ireland Galway and Director of the new MA in Public Policy. He has published extensively on the Northern Ireland conflict, on peace negotiations and on territorial conflict. His publications include Civil Rights to Armalites, a study of the escalation of conflict in Northern Ireland, and Dynamics of Political Change in Ireland co-edited with Katy Hayward and Elizabeth Meehan. His new book, Deniable Contact: Back-channel Negotiation in the Northern Ireland Conflict was published in 2021 by Oxford University Press.

Talk by Samuel Fisher: The Gaelic and Indian Origins of the American Revolution
2022-04-07 16:00 - 17:00 | Online, via Zoom https://nuigalway-ie.zoom.us/j/91318855652
Samuel Fisher
(Asst. Professor, Department of History, Catholic University of America)
The Gaelic and Indian Origins of the American Revolution
Samuel Fisher is author of The Gaelic and Indian Origins of the American Revolution: Diversity and Empire in the British Atlantic, 1688-1783, which will appear with Oxford University Press in July. This paper summarises the argument of the book which offers a new explanation of the origins of the American Revolution. Drawing on Irish- and Scots-Gaelic language and Native American sources, he shows how colonized peoples tried to reshape empires in their own image, and how their partial success convinced American colonists to leave the British empire.

Gilgamesh in Conversation
2022-04-22 18:00 - 19:30 | Galway City Museum
What makes ancient myths so appealing to the modern imagination? Beyond the search for the texts themselves in tablets, scrolls, and manuscripts, new translations and retellings of ancient myths populate the best-seller lists around the world.
“Gilgamesh in Conversation” is a round-table interview with Marina Carr (writer, Macnas presents Gilgamesh), Michael Clarke (author, Achilles Beside Gilgamesh: Mortality and Wisdom in Early Epic Poetry), and Noeline Kavanagh (director, Macnas presents Gilgamesh), three individuals who have delved into the ancient Mesopotamian epic of Gilgamesh and found new meaning in its narrative.
Join host Dan Carey for an exploration of what it is about ancient myth, and the figure of Gilgamesh in particular, that speaks so powerfully to people across the millennia.
A Q&A session will follow the interview.
Marina Carr is a Playwright. She is Associate Professor in the School of English at Dublin City University.
Michael Clarke is Professor of Classics at NUI Galway.
Noeline Kavanagh is the Artistic Director of Macnas, the Galway-based performance and theatre spectacle company.

Professor Robert Orsi is an internationally renowned scholar of religion, past President of the American Academy of Religion and former Chair of the Department of Religious Studies at Harvard University. His most recent book, the widely acclaimed History and Presence (Harvard University Press, 2016), was a Choice Outstanding Academic Title.
His scholarship draws on history, ethnography and psychological theories of imagination and intersubjectivity to study historical and contemporary religious practices. In this talk, he will explore questions of method and theory for the study of religion in an academic setting, asking how scholars should approach worlds of religious practice, feeling, and understanding that may be not only alien to them but also profoundly distressing, perhaps even frightening. What interpretative frames might be brought to help us understand them? And how might scholars help others to confront similar challenges?

Irish Studies Seminar Series, 2021-22: The “Irish Highlands”: Alexander Nimmo, Coastal Environments and Travel in Nineteenth-Century Connemara
2022-05-03 16:00 - 17:00 | Seomra an Droichid, Institiúid de Móra agus ar Zoom
The “Irish Highlands”: Alexander Nimmo, Coastal Environments and Travel in Nineteenth-Century Connemara
by Dr Anna Pilz, Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow in the School of Literatures, Languages and Cultures at the University of Edinburgh (2020-2022) with a 3-month secondment in Irish Studies at the Moore Institute, National University of Ireland, Galway (March-May 2022).
Abstract
Travel texts from the 1820s and 1830s increasingly drew attention to Connemara, with a notable focus on the rich natural “resources” the region offered to contemporary visitors and commentators. Tourists with an appetite for natural curiosities, sporting and/or the “picturesque” were encouraged to explore what became tagged as the “Irish Highlands”. While the texts framed Ireland’s Atlantic coastal environments as an opportunity for improvement and the development of regional industries, colonial infrastructural developments sprang up. This paper takes the Scottish engineer Alexander Nimmo’s work with and along the Atlantic coast as a touchstone to explore the intersecting themes of the development of tourism and regional industry in cultural productions from travel texts to periodical and visual culture.
Biography
Dr Anna Pilz is Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow in the School of Literatures, Languages and Cultures at the University of Edinburgh (2020-2022) with a 3-month secondment in Irish Studies at the Moore Institute, National University of Ireland, Galway (March-May 2022). Her research focuses on narratives of environmental change in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century cultural productions from and about Ireland, particularly in relation to woodlands and coastscapes. Pilz’s current project Coastal Routes investigates a rich archive of Romantic-era travel writing on Ireland and Scotland’s Atlantic coasts (Grant Agreement No. 890850). Together with Seán Hewitt, she co-edited a Special Issue of Nineteenth-Century Contexts on the theme of ‘Ecologies of the Atlantic Archipelago’ (2021). She previously held research fellowships at the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities at the University of Edinburgh, the Rachel Carson Center for Environment and Society (LMU, Munich), and an Irish Research Council Postdoctoral Fellowship at University College Cork.

RIA Seminar Series 'Ireland 2030' Panel 1: Technology and Irish Culture
2022-05-04 09:30 - 13:00 | Seomra an Droichid, Institiúid de Móra agus ar Zoom
What would we like Ireland to look like in 2030? In what kind of society do we want to live, on both sides of the Border? This seems like a simple question. 2030 is just eight years away, so surely politicians, intellectuals, journalists, and the public are busy imagining our future. But this is not really happening. Initiatives like Project 2040, a national development plan for the Republic of Ireland, have in the past several years been overshadowed by emergencies that have demanded all our attention: climate change, Brexit, the Covid pandemic, and now the war in Ukraine. These emergencies have forced us to into a reactive, crisis-response mode of thinking. There is a sense that events are unfolding so fast that we can hardly keep up. This raises the question: Are we still shaping our future? Or are we merely adapting, breathlessly, to the rapid changes which characterize life in the twenty-first century?
The RIA seminar series ‘Ireland 2030’ is an attempt to think about ways in which meaningful human agency can be regained, specifically on the island of Ireland and in a time of globally accelerated change. We understand human agency as the ability to shape the lives we live as opposed to merely reacting to the economic, technological, and political demands of the moment; human agency also entails the primacy of persons over systems. Climate change, Brexit, the coronavirus pandemic, and the war in Ukraine can be seen as the catalysts for our initiative: these events have all shattered current horizons and frameworks, calling for new ways of thinking and acting. The challenge now is not to attempt to return to ‘normality’ but to rethink what this normality should be. — Philipp W. Rosemann MRIA

Artificial Intelligence in minority language contexts: a new digital divide?
On the one hand, global technology is a driver of relentless homogenization, which threatens to level culturally distinctive patterns of thinking and acting. In Ireland, such homogenization poses a particular challenge for the future of the Irish language. On the other hand, the same global technologies offer new opportunities for speakers of minority languages to assert agency and autonomy. So, for example, while traditional oral arts were steadily eclipsed by global mass media in the twentieth century, they have been revitalized in the twenty-first century by digital communication technologies and the global reach of archival digitization projects. What is the way forward here? More generally, what are the conditions for another ‘Celtic revival’ in the globalized twenty-first century? And, should we want one?
