Previous Artists in Residence at Tate Britain, junk ensemble are winners of Best Production Award, Culture Ireland Touring Award, Excellence and Innovation Award, and listed as a Sunday Times Highlight. Their work continues to tour nationally and internationally. junk’s productions are often created in collaboration with artists from other disciplines to produce a rich mix of visual and performance styles that seeks to challenge the traditional audience performer relationship.

She created the award winning film Motion Sickness in 2012, which has screened across 30 festivals worldwide. Other film credits include The Wake (Invisible Thread Films/Oonagh Kearney 2013), Turning (Highly Stimulating Productions 2013), Dance Emergency (TG4 2013), Wonder House (JDIFF 2012) and Her Mother’s Daughters (RTÌä 2010). She has lectured for IT Carlow and also performs in the band Everything Shook. She was awarded Best Female Performer for Dublin Fringe Festival 2006.

Book launch: Bernard Shaw's Irish Outlook, by David Clare.
2015-12-02 17:00 | Seminar Room G011 the Hardiman Reserach Building, Ireland
You are cordially invited to the book launches for Bernard Shaw’s Irish Outlook, by David Clare.
Although Bernard Shaw is often regarded as a writer of English society plays, his formative years in Ireland deeply influenced his work for the stage. His use of Irish, Irish Diasporic, Surrogate Irish, and Stage English characters reveals the degree to which he maintained a strongly Irish perspective throughout his life. Shaw’s Irish characters betray his Irish reverse snobbery; he uses them to suggest that it is better to come from a marginalized background than a privileged one. Some of his English and American characters (including Henry Higgins) derive their strengths – and some of their weaknesses – from their Irish cultural backgrounds, and Shaw occasionally endows non-Irish characters (such as Saint Joan) with Irish qualities and then uses them as crypto-Irish foils in their dealings with English characters. Finally, Shaw uses Stage English characters in his three Irish plays to critique the English for what he sees as their national flaws.
Dr. David Clare is an IRC Postdoctoral Research Fellow based in the Moore Institute at NUI Galway. His work has been published in the Irish Studies Review, the New Hibernia Review, the Irish University Review, Studies: An Irish Quarterly, and Emerging Perspectives.
Bernard Shaw’s Irish Outlook is an important, original, well-written, critically incisive, and long overdue study of Bernard Shaw’s Irishness … It is the first single-authored volume exclusively focused on the subject of Shaw and Irishness. It will be joined by others in time, but it is unlikely to be bettered. – Prof. Anthony Roche, University College Dublin
Clare’s radical analysis – delivered in subtle prose – constitutes a challenge to Shavians and to Hibernophiles to rethink some of their most basic assumptions. A bracing and enjoyable read. – Prof. Declan Kiberd, University of Notre Dame
Clare wonderfully illuminates the degree to which Shaw’s Irish identity remained the great constant in his protean career. – Fintan O’Toole, The Irish Times
We know that Ireland is a presence in some of Shaw’s plays – John Bull’s Other Island, most famously. Clare’s fascinating and important study gives us new ways to think about such works but also sheds new light on many of Shaw’s most famous dramas, including Pygmalion and Saint Joan. As readable as it is insightful, this book will be of wide interest to scholars of Shaw, Irish literature, and theatre studies. – Prof. Patrick Lonergan, NUI Galway
GALWAY LAUNCH – Wed., 2 December 2015 from 5-7pm in the Moore Institute (located inside the Hardiman Research Building) at NUI Galway. At this event, the book will be launched by Fintan O’Toole of The Irish Times and by Prof. Patrick Lonergan of NUI Galway. DUBLIN LAUNCH – Wed., 16 December 2015 from 6-8pm in the Conference Room at the Dublin City Archives, Pearse Street Library, Dublin 2. At this event, the book will be launched by Prof. Declan Kiberd of the University of Notre Dame and by Prof. Patrick Lonergan of NUI Galway.

Digital Scholarship Seminar: Hugh Houghton (University of Birmingham) - Editing the Greek and Latin New Testament in the Digital Age
2015-12-03 12:00
Digital Scholarship Seminar:

Hugh Houghton (University of Birmingham)
Editing the Greek and Latin New Testament in the Digital Age
Hugh Houghton, University of Birmingham
Editing the Greek and Latin New Testament in a Digital Age
Computer technology has transformed the editing of the New Testament. For the first time ever, it is possible to take into account all surviving manuscripts, as well as the indirect evidence of early translations and quotations. In addition, more and more of the evidence is becoming available online, which has stimulated a revival of interest in a field previously restricted to a handful of specialists. In this illustrated presentation, Hugh Houghton will introduce recent work including the new “Editio Critica Maior” of the Greek New Testament, the collaborative text-editing interface used by a range of international partners, and electronic resources such as the digital Codex Sinaiticus. There will also be a chance to discuss the impact of this new methodology on textual scholarship and the reception of the Bible.
Hugh Houghton is Reader in New Testament Textual Scholarship at the University of Birmingham and Deputy Director of the Institute for Textual Scholarship and Electronic Editing. A classicist by training, he has spent over a decade working on the texual tradition of the New Testament. He is currently principal investigator of a five-year European-funded project on Pauline commentaries and led the Anglo-German “Workspace for Collaborative Editing” initiative. A committee member of the International Greek New Testament Project and a corresponding editor of the Vetus Latina Institute, he has advised or worked on digital editions of texts ranging from Magna Carta to the Qur’an. His publications include monographs on Augustine’s biblical text and the Latin New Testament, critical editions of biblical texts and manuscripts, and several edited volumes. See further http://www.birmingham.ac.uk/HAGHoughton
Seminars are open to all and conclude with discussion over lunch

Professor Kevin Barry (NUI Galway): 'The throats of birds: W.B. Yeats and the act of dying'
2015-12-15 17:00 | Seminar Room G011 the Hardiman Reserach Building, Ireland
Moore Institute Seminar
Prof. Kevin Barry (NUI Galway)
‰Û÷The throats of birds: W.B. Yeats and the act of dying’
Organised in conjunction with the ‰Û÷Yeats & the West Exhibition’
W.B. Yeats was determined to die with style, as if his reputation depended on it. From the many available genres, he chose one of the most difficult to sustain: death in infamy. This talk analyzes Yeats’s deliberate curation of his own death in infamy, and the public’s triumph over this recalcitrance.

The Tudor Discovery of IrelandChristopher Maginn & Steven G. EllisThe rapid acquisition of knowledge about Ireland in Tudor times constituted a discovery of no small importance for the development of the early modern English state. How the Tudors, and the most influential members of the political establishment who served them, came to be acquainted with Ireland – with its history, with its politics and economy, with its peoples and with its geography – and how that acquired knowledge was applied is the subject of this book. It includes in its analysis an edition of a previously unexamined 16th-century manuscript – the Hatfield Compendium – as a means of exploring the phenomenon of knowledge acquisition and its relationship to the determination of Tudor policy. This book shows that before the Tudor conquest of Ireland there was the Tudor discovery of Ireland.

Public debate on the 'separation women' of World War One
2016-01-14 20:00
ICHLC – Irish Centre for the Histories of Labour and Class – Public debate on the ‰Û÷separation women’ of World War One
During the First World War, the payment of separation allowances to the dependents of servicemen was a powerful incentive to recruitment. Unemployed men, as well as those in casual employment, were assured that their wives and children would be able to keep a roof over their heads and have enough to eat if they joined the fight in Europe. But if soldiers were reassured by the allowances, others were alarmed at the idea that women were getting something for nothing, and a ‰Û÷moral panic’ ensued, with reports that the allowances were being wasted on drink and dissolution. In January 1916, a Galway magistrate scolded a woman ‰Û÷with a young family in Raleigh Row going down to the pictures and going home at 11.45 … and ÌøåÀå_1.5.0 going to waste in this manner.’ It was ‰Û÷only a person with a degenerate sort of mind who on a fine day with the sun shining, goes to see this rubbish at the pictures’, he told her. During the 1916 Rising in Dublin, and in other Irish cities throughout the period the separation women came into conflict with Irish republicans, including the women of Cumann na mBan.On Thursday 14 January at 8 pm, in the Galway Mechanics Institute, Middle St., a number of historians will disentangle the myths from the facts in relation to the separation women. The featured historians are Dr Fionnuala Walsh (Trinity College), Dr Ann Matthews (author of The Irish Citizen Army), Mary Clancy (NUI Galway), and John Borgonovo (UCC). This free event, under the auspices of the Irish Centre for the Histories of Labour & Class, will be chaired by Dr Sarah-Ann Buckley, and all are welcome.
