Through the imagery of following traces or unraveling the thread (Haraway) that offers the potential to capture the multiple meanings of research sites and provide a more nuanced and careful engagement with method. If methodology is the link between our ontological and epistemological ideas and the method\, the doing (Browne and Nash\, Queer Methodologies\, 2010)\, then it is no surprise that it becomes a stumbling block when we as researchers are faced with the oftentimes sharp intersection between our ideas and practice. It is not the how of conducting methods\, it’s the how of the approach to the methods which we want to explore at this day long workshop. \nWe invite participants to explore questions around methodologies in the field\, the insider/outsider dichotomy\, taking notice of ethics and vulnerabilities\, storytelling as methodological approach\, mixing methods and ideas of power/positions – hoping to gain insights at the intersection between methodology and practice. \nThis half day workshop invites participants to explore these ideas and others in an inclusive\, open setting. We invite paper proposals on methodological approaches which are informed by feminist/queer approaches. We also invite proposals for workshops or practice based presentations. \nPlease send you proposal to methodologies.NUIG@gmail.com by Friday April 26th 2019. \nThis event is free of charge but registration is essential\, please email us to register. Light refreshments will be provided. We do not have funding for the travel costs of attendees.

It will explore the institutional economic class interests that exist in Ireland\, and alternatives to same in the spheres of paid labour and social reproduction. \nCapitalism does not willingly pay for the reproduction of the labour it exploits. Social democracy forced it to somewhat contribute to this reproduction through legislation and general taxation\, but from the 1970s onwards these very supports have been under profound attack by capitalism\, in particular finance capital. The slashing of corporation and capital taxes is the slashing of capital’s contribution to the social reproduction of human labour. Austerity as the new normal is a continuation of this process – one where ‘class struggle includes struggle over social reproduction: for universal health care and free education\, for environmental justice and access to clean energy\, and for housing and public transportation. \nThe need for capitalism to enclose social reproduction for profit-seeking purposes makes the issue one that contains the potential for a genuine counter-attack against it. This workshop will explore this potential in terms of activist strategies and organisation. \nCooperation among movements for societal change is nothing new; but the purpose of that cooperation\, and its power\, appears to have been forgotten. The way capitalism seeks profit and maintains power has an effect on the shape of our resistance to it. The ideas of social movement unionism and feminist economics serve to shine a light on ways of thinking and organisation that will complement the actions by those who wish to transform capitalism. \nDr. Conor McCabe is a research associate with UCD Equality Studies Centre.. He has written extensively on Irish finance and is involved in activist education\, working with political\, trade union\, and community groups. \n  URL:https://mooreinstitute.ie/event/feminist-economics-irish-finance-and-the-commons/ LOCATION:Room 1001\, the Bridge\, Hardiman Research Building ORGANIZER;CN="Charlotte%20Amrouche":MAILTO:charlotteamrouche@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20190613T103000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20190613T153000 DTSTAMP:20260403T205541 CREATED:20190607T131423Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190607T132936Z UID:7678-1560421800-1560439800@mooreinstitute.ie SUMMARY:Developing Enabling Policies for Digital and Open Teaching and Learning DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nA participatory workshop for all engaged in institutional policy development with respect to digital and open teaching and learning. \n\n\n\n\nThis workshop is open to all in Irish higher education\, particularly those engaged in institutional policy development with respect to digital and open teaching and learning. \nWorkshop participants will have the opportunity to review and discuss various digital/open policies and policymaking approaches and consider approaches that are relevant to their own contexts.

Drawing on work by Laura Marks\, Abbie Garrington\, Virginia Woolf\, Sara Ahmed and others\, this paper seeks to examine \nhow we might engage with this new representation of the body and the potential of the haptic to be a mode of both self-knowledge and transmission. In these \nshort stories\, moments of connection through touch are lingered on and memories of touch past are pivotal. White Northern Irish skin is not valorised or \ncelebrated\, but often cast as something fragile and permeable that absorbs the toxic quality of the atmosphere. Scars are everywhere\, and language is a fleshy \nmechanism involving lips\, tongues and teeth. This talk will argue that recent short stories continue to move the Northern Irish body away from its \nrepresentational dead end as over-deterministic symbol of the conflict.

Why Multidiscliplinary? Why Now?: Making the Case for the Active Consent Programme’s Multi-Sectoral Plan for 2019-2023' DESCRIPTION:  \nDr Charlotte McIvor (Drama and Theatre Studies)\, Dr. Pádraig Mac Neela\, \nDr Siobhán O’Higgins &  Kate Dawson (School of Psychology) \n  \nAbstract \nThis talk theorises the signature approach of the Active Consent programme team comprised of researchers from Psychology\, Health Promotion\, and Drama and Theatre Studies in relationship to the current policy and educational landscape around sexual health education and assault prevention in Ireland and internationally. Working together since 2014\, this team designs evidence-informed tools (based on survey and qualitative data)\, including workshops and creative arts interventions\, which in turn facilitate dialogue regarding consent and sexual health. The team’s embrace of consent as an active\, positive educational paradigm – inclusive of all genders\, all relationships and all sexualities – is intended to empower young people as active agents in the negotiation of their sexual relationships. Now funded between 2019-2023 by the Lifes2good Foundation with support from the National University of Ireland\, Galway\, the Active Consent programme has set the objective of unifying third-level\, secondary school and sporting organisations’ provision of consent-focused sexual health education.  This talk will reflect on the team’s learning since 2014 in partnership with young people\, trends in third-level Irish sexual health data that they have observed over this period\, and why they believe that a multi-disciplinary approach\, which considers interdependent educational and community sectors\, is essential for sustainable change in social and personal attitudes towards consent within sexual relationships in a post-#MeToo era. The team will describe the importance of sexual consent as a window on young people’s openness in talking about sensitive topics\, and the scope to expand this conversation into mental health and the use of alcohol and drugs. \nDr Pádraig MacNeela leads the SMART Consent project and Active Consent programme. He is a senior lecturer at the School of Psychology\, NUI Galway\, where he has worked since 2004. He works mainly on youth research\, especially in relation to sexual health\, mental health\, and alcohol use\, and on community research projects. He began working on sexual health initiatives following a project with RCNI in 2013 and served on the board of management of Galway Rape Crisis Centre 2014-18. He is co-investigator on the multidisciplinary YOULead doctoral training scheme on youth mental health 2018-2022 and the NUI Galway Resilience Project / Student Information Project – both of which demonstrate the importance of expanding the conversation about sexual health into other areas of well-being in young people’s lives. \nDr Charlotte McIvor is a Lecturer in Drama and Theatre Studies at NUI Galway in the O’Donoghue Centre for Drama\, Theatre and Performance. She is the author of the book Migration and Performance in Contemporary Ireland: Towards A New Interculturalism\, and multiple articles and edited collections focused on contemporary performance\, identity\, and interculturalism. Other creative projects on sexual consent include an original devised play 100 Shades of Grey co-created with NUI Galway students and co-direction of Lucy’s House Party (with Mick Ruane) for the Manuela Riedo Foundation’s Manuela Programme secondary school education project on sexual consent. \nDr Siobhán O’Higgins is research fellow on the Active and SMART Consent programme\,  School of Psychology. A sexologist and sexual health promoter\, Siobhán has worked\, since 1990\, developing and evaluating programmes on sexuality and relationships – for third level students\, primary and secondary pupils\, parents\, prisoners and those with intellectual disabilities. Her PhD in 2011\, explored secondary school children’s perceptions on what young people need to know and how they would like to be taught about sexuality and relationships and teachers’ ideas on how to meet those needs. The insights and knowledge gained during her PhD were translated into practice in the WISER programme\, presently delivered in over 50 schools in the West of Ireland. She developed the SMART Consent workshop and train the trainer programme with Dr MacNeela to raise awareness and challenge existing worrying social norms about how to be a sexually active young person. \nKate Dawson is currently finishing her PhD research in the School of Psychology on Pornography. Since completing her Masters in Health Promotion she has been delivering workshops in schools as a sexuality and relationship educator on the WISER programme and co-created the website for that intervention. \n  URL:https://mooreinstitute.ie/event/spotlight-on-research-lecture-series-why-consent-why-multidiscliplinary-why-now-making-the-case-for-the-active-consent-programmes-multi-sectoral-plan-for-2019-2023/ LOCATION:Seminar Room G011 the Hardiman Reserach Building\, Ireland ORGANIZER;CN="Dr%20Se%C3%A1n%20Crosson":MAILTO:sean.crosson@universityofgalway.ie END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20190606T093000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20190606T163000 DTSTAMP:20260403T205541 CREATED:20190531T130758Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190531T130758Z UID:7661-1559813400-1559838600@mooreinstitute.ie SUMMARY:Whitaker PhD Forum 2019 DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n \n  \nThe Whitaker Institute for Innovation and Societal Change on Thursday\, 6th June will host its fourth annual PhD Forum in the Hardiman Research Building at NUI Galway. \nThe Forum is a one-day event for PhD students\, which aims to provide students with a day to interact and network with each other\, to gain helpful advice about the PhD process\, and to celebrate their research.\nThe event is suited to students at all stages of their PhD studies.

However\, his methods in the Down Survey can also be seen to have anticipated many of the methodologies used today in the conduct and management of clinical trials. This paper will contextualise contemporary efforts to create global standards for clinical research against William Petty’s methodological innovations in the seventeenth‑century Down Survey – and suggest that recognizing Petty’s connection to the rise of clinical trials raises interesting possibilities at NUIG for a practical response to the call by the Irish Humanities Alliance for ‘intensive engagement’ in developing interdisciplinary research between the sciences and the humanities. \n  URL:https://mooreinstitute.ie/event/getting-it-down-and-writing-it-up-william-petty-and-irelands-contemporary-ambitions-for-clinical-research/ LOCATION:Seminar Room G010\, Hardiman Research Building ORGANIZER;CN="Daniel%20Carey":MAILTO:daniel.carey@nuigalway.ie END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20190528T170000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20190528T170000 DTSTAMP:20260403T205541 CREATED:20190521T101220Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190524T104707Z UID:7585-1559062800-1559062800@mooreinstitute.ie SUMMARY:'The New Mythological Image of Ovidian Myrrha in William Barksted’s Myrrha\, The Mother of Adonis: Or\, Lustes Prodigies (1607)' DESCRIPTION:  \nThis talk will be given by Moore Visiting Fellow Dr Agnès Lafont (University Paul Valery – Montpellier 3\, France) \nAbstract: William Barksted in Myrrha\, The Mother of Adonis: Or\, Lustes Prodigie (1607) uses  the classical story of Myrrha (Ovid\, Metamorphoses 10) in similar and divergent ways to create an erotic epyllion. This early modern adaptation of the Ovidian story offers a case point of the re-reading of the classical tradition of daughter-father incest to see whether there are no enjoyable feelings attached to this destructive erotic pulsion and how the moral reading of the fable can be subverted to titillate an early modern male reader. Barksted clearly knew his Ovid and the stock moralisations inherited from the Ovid Moralisé tradition and he uses them to probe erotic psyche. By tapping into subterraneuous connections\, the Myrrha story mirrors and decontracts desire and lust while simultaneously redefining the process of mythopoetics in the early modern genre of erotic narratives. \n  URL:https://mooreinstitute.ie/event/the-new-mythological-image-of-ovidian-myrrha-in-william-barksteds-myrrha-the-mother-of-adonis-or-lustes-prodigies-1607/ LOCATION:Seminar Room G010\, Hardiman Research Building ORGANIZER;CN="Dr%20Lindsay%20Ann%20Reid":MAILTO:lindsay.reid@nuigalway.ie END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20190528T140000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20190528T160000 DTSTAMP:20260403T205541 CREATED:20190430T152558Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190517T130807Z UID:7426-1559052000-1559059200@mooreinstitute.ie SUMMARY:A Foucauldian-Feminist Approach to Countering Sexual Violence and Sexual Humiliation by Prof. Dianna Taylor DESCRIPTION:Abstract \nHumiliation is a definitive but\, within the discipline of philosophy\, under-theorized harm of sexual violence against women. This talk draws upon the late work of Michel Foucault in order to provide an account of sexual humiliation resulting from sexual violence\, as well as to posit ways in which sexual violence and sexual humiliation might be effectively countered. Given that sexual humiliation manifests within the relation of self-to-self\, such countering calls for creation of new and subversive modes of self-relation.  The talk provides insight into what these alternative\, counter-humiliating modes of self-relation might look like by analyzing specific instances of verbal and embodied feminist anti-sexual violence protest. \nSpeaker Biography  \nDianna Taylor is Professor of Philosophy at John Carroll University in Cleveland\, Ohio\, USA. She has co-edited two volumes of essays\, Feminism and the Final Foucault (University of Illinois Press\, 2004) and Feminist Politics: Identity\, Difference\, Agency (Rowman and Littlefield\, 2007)\, and is editor of Michel Foucault: Key Concepts (Acumen Publishers\, 2010). Her book\, Sexual Violence and Humiliation: A Foucauldian-Feminist Perspective\, is forthcoming with Routledge.

Theatre and music provided a fertile ground for this purpose. Through the Dublin life of James Cousins\, W.B Yeats\, Lady Gregory and Synge; and through exploration of early years of Abbey Theatre and Irish National Theatre Society\, she plans to capture this synergy. The leaders of the Abbey Theatre also embodied vegetarianism and occult. There were regular readings of the Hindu text ‘Bhagawat Gita’ in Dublin circles and promotion of vegetarian restaurants. There has been no study to look at these interactions as potential arenas of forging nationalisms through esoteric universalism and anti-colonial politics.\nShe shall be focusing on the poet and play writerJames Cousins\, who was married to Margaret Elizabeth Cousins (co-founder of the Irish Women’s Franchise League). They both moved to India in 1915 at the invitation of the Theosophist or a humanitarian worker or an anti coloniafl activist in India. Both were fiercelycommitted to voting rights campaign for women and other forms of public service; and most significantly they joined in the Gandhian challenge to colonialism after 1920s. The couple stayed in Dublin from 1902 till 1915 and actively participated in several sessions of occult and planchette writing with Yeats and his group. The politics of women’s voting rights (intertwined with British suffragettes) and anti-colonialism were the two main political agendas of the couple. \n  URL:https://mooreinstitute.ie/event/cultural-renaissance-and-anti-colonialism-in-india-and-ireland/ LOCATION:Room 1001\, the Bridge\, Hardiman Research Building ORGANIZER;CN="Sarah-Anne%20Buckley":MAILTO:sarahanne.buckley@nuigalway.ie END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20190527T120000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20190527T120000 DTSTAMP:20260403T205541 CREATED:20190524T175624Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190524T175624Z UID:7632-1558958400-1558958400@mooreinstitute.ie SUMMARY:Riddling Discourse and Construction of Knowledge in Ancient Greek Literature and Early Irish Saga: The Case of Ogam DESCRIPTION:  \nDr Federica Scicolone (King’s College London) Moore Visiting Fellow 2019 \nThis talk will consider a widespread motif in archaic Greek poetry\, the so-called ‘contest of wisdom’ between wise men\, usually bards or poets (e.g. Calchas and Mopsus in fr. 278 M-W; the Certamen Homeri et Hesiodi)\, in relation to the Hellenistic and later practice of ‘riddle’ funerary epigrams\, from both literary and inscriptional contexts (AP 7.422 and 429; SGO 09/05/17): here the passer-by is challenged by the deceased to decode the symbols carved on the tombstone\, and the resolution of the riddle depends entirely on the passer’s-by insight and sophia. The selected case studies will be compared with few references to Ogam enigmatic inscriptions in early Irish saga (e.g. the Táin\, 220ff.; Tochmarc Étaíne §18; Sanas Cormaic §1018) in order to observe that\, similarly as in the examined Greek texts\, the use of Ogam in literary contexts may serve the purpose of testing the interlocutors (and\, through them\, the readers) and of initiating them into wisdom by means of riddling discourse.

From a textbook to an ethnological category\, and from mechanical objects to infrastructural networks and large technological systems\, historical geographers\, in turn\, have been left to explain the world technology has “made.” Through a materialist keyword approach to the career of technology\, this paper raises questions about what it means to think of things\, processes\, and relations as technological\, and explores the implications of the idea of technology – understood in terms of its integrative\, meaning-making\, cultural work – for the histories and geographies that we produce. \nBio\nScott Kirsch (kirsch@email.unc.edu) is Professor of Geography at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. His research interests include the politics and culture of technology; nuclear landscapes; 19th- and 20th-century US science; history of scientific exploration and cartography; US geopolitics and empire\, especially in the Philippines and Asia/Pacific; and geographies of war and peace. He is author of Proving Grounds: Project Plowshare and the Unrealized Dream of Nuclear Earthmoving (Rutgers University Press\, 2005) and editor (with Colin Flint) of Reconstructing Conflict: Integrating War and Post-War Geographies (Routledge 2011). He is currently writing a book about America’s “insular empire” in the Philippines.

Rather\, Brexit was contrived by politicians\, was voted for by citizens\, and is now being implemented by bureaucrats. Brexit did not ‘just happen’; it exists because people decided to make it exist. It is therefore hugely influenced by a myriad of psychological factors as experienced across many social groups. Brexit is the combined reflection of a multitude of perceptions\, preferences\, choices\, self-images\, attitudes\, ideas\, assumptions\, and reasoned (or ill-reasoned) conclusions. \nThis lecture will examine the Psychology of Brexit. We will look at the psychological factors that influenced the dawn of Brexit\, such as optimism biases\, causal attribution errors\, and illusions of control. We will consider how cognitive dissonance\, social stereotypes\, and motivated irrationality help otherwise groundless beliefs to thrive in everyday culture\, leading to group polarisation\, rejectionism\, and echo-chamber reasoning. We will see how individual political figures become associated with ideas\, and how cultural biases (such as sexism) shape how politicians are portrayed and perceived. And we will consider the psychological impact of Brexit: its effect on social attitudes\, future thinking\, and collective and individual mental health. \nWe will conclude by examining how Ireland views Brexit. Are we Irish capable of an objective assessment of the Brexit project? Are we aware of our own biases when seeking to summarise its progress? And does Brexit help focus Irish minds on positive ideas such as collaborative problem-solving — or does it provoke unhealthy social attitudes such as nationalistic self-regard\, delusional optimism\, and passive coping? \nAs with its origins and progress\, the future impact of Brexit will be shaped by its psychological aspects. This lecture will show how psychology research can shed light on events such as Brexit and position us best to learn from them. \nSpeaker \nBrian Hughes is a Professor of Psychology at NUI Galway.
