SUMMARY:Gender ARC Public Lecture: Sylvia Walby\, Distinguished Professor\, UNESCO Chair of Gender Research Department of Sociology\, Lancaster University -Preventing gender based violence against women: Can this be mainstreamed?
DESCRIPTION:Gender ARC and Global Women’s Studies at NUI Galway are pleased to invite you to a public lecture:  \n \nSylvia Walby\, Distinguished Professor\, UNESCO Chair of Gender Research \nDepartment of Sociology\, Lancaster University \nPreventing gender based violence against women: Can this be mainstreamed? \n \nAll Welcome \nRefreshments will be served – please RSVP to Gillian Browne (gillian.browne@nuigalway.ie)   Abstract: Preventing violence against women requires reforms in all social institutions.  It cannot be solved by a narrow focus on one domain\, such as the criminal justice system.  The policy device of ‰Û÷gender mainstreaming’ has potential to reach into all policy domains; but it has not yet been successful.  How should the necessary transformations be theorised; how can they be put into practice?  What are the strengths and limits of gender mainstreaming?  Is estimating the ‰Û÷cost’ of violence against women to economy and society a way forward\, reaching parts of policy and political institutions that no feminist action could otherwise reach? This talk explores the dilemmas in the current debates on how best to prevent violence against women and reaches a decisive conclusion.   Sylvia Walby is Distinguished Professor of Sociology and UNESCO Chair in Gender Research\, Lancaster University\, UK.  She has been advising on the cost of gender-based violence for the European Institute for Gender Equality and UK Home Office.  She is leading an ESRC funded project: ‰Û÷Is domestic violence increasing or decreasing? She is currently working on the measurement of gender-based violence for the Council of Europe to assist the implementation of the Istanbul Convention’s Article 11.  Recent books include: Globalization and Inequalities: Complexity and Contested Modernities (Sage 2009) and The Future of Feminism (Polity 2011). Her next book is the jointly authored Stopping Rape: Towards a Comprehensive Policy (forthcoming Policy Press 2015)\, which draws on work for the European Parliament.  This will be followed by Crisis for Polity Press (forthcoming 2015).

SUMMARY:Dr Kevin James is Associate Professor of History at the University of Guelph and Moore Institute Visiting Fellow - 'Take my advice\, go to Mongan's Hotel': Sport\, Charity\, and Tourism in late-Victorian Rural Co. Galway
DESCRIPTION:Dr Kevin James\, University of Guelph and Moore Institute Visiting Fellow\n‘Take my advice\, go to Mongan’s Hotel’: Sport\, Charity\, and Tourism in late-Victorian Rural Co. Galway\n A free public lecture entitled ‰Û÷Take my advice\, go to Mongan’s Hotel: Sport\, Charity\, and Tourism in Late-Victorian Connemara’ will be held in Galway city on Monday\, 11 May at 7 pm. The lecture will be delivered by Dr Kevin James\, Associate Professor of History at the University of Guelph\, Ontario\, and will take place in the Galway City Library in Augustine St\, under the auspices of NUI Galway’s Moore Institute \nMongan’s Hotel in Carna\, Co. Galway\, was an historic site of pilgrimage for the sporting tourist in the nineteenth century\, and served as a social\, commercial\, and cultural hub of the district. In the 1890s\, initiatives aimed at alleviating distress and developing the district’s economy highlighted the important role of the hotel and its proprietor\, Martin Mongan. He forged connections between the locality and organisations and markets farther afield – notably in Manchester. The evidence appears in the hotel’s historic visitors’ book. \nThis public lecture will look at how Mongan’s provided a venue for tourism\, a magnet for sports enthusiasts\, and a site for charitable activity. \nProfessor Daniel Carey\, Director of the Moore Institute at NUI Galway\, said: “Kevin James’s work has opened up new vistas on the history of travel to Co. Galway. Visitors’ books offer an intriguing glimpse into a lost world in the nineteenth century.”  Dr Kevin James is author of Tourism\, Land and Landscape in Ireland: The Commodification of Culture. In spring 2014\, he held a Moore Institute Visiting Research Fellowship to support his research at the James Hardiman Library\, NUI Galway. \nFor more information contact : Dr John Cunningham\, Department of History\, NUI Galway at john.cunningham@nuigalway.ie or phone 091 493902.

SUMMARY:Ian McBride\, Kings College London and Moore Institute Visiting Fellow -Dealing with the Past in Northern Ireland
DESCRIPTION:The recent controversy over the ‰Û÷Boston Project’ tapes has demonstrated that the unfinished business of the Troubles still has the power to disrupt political progress in Northern Ireland; but it also reveals the attempts of disparate republican voices to establish the dominant narrative of ‰Û÷armed struggle’.  This talk examines the memoirs of former IRA men (Sean O’Callaghan\, Eamon Collins\, Gerry Bradley\, Brendan Hughes)\, focusing on varieties of disenchantment with the republican campaign and the anticipated futures that have fuelled republican activism.  It will explore the particular political junctures that have shaped these works and the difficulties they present as sources for historians. \nAbout the Speaker\nIan McBride is Professor of Irish and British History at King’s College London. He has written on various aspects of modern Irish history. His forthcoming works include Irish Political Writings 1: TheCambridge Edition of the Works of Jonathan Swift (2016) and The Princeton History of Modern Ireland\, co-edited with Richard Bourke (2015).  Since editing History and Memory in Modern Ireland (Cambridge\, 2001) he has been interested in contemporary uses of the past.  His current research focuses on debates over truth and reconciliation in Northern Ireland since 1998\, and the relationship between political violence\, representations of the past and professional historiography. \nOrganised by the Conflict\, Humanitarianism and Security Research Custer \nFor more information please contact niall.odochartaigh@nuigalway.ie

SUMMARY:Charles Barr\, Moore Institute Visiting Fellow - Filming O'Casey
DESCRIPTION:Charles Barr\, Moore Institute Visiting Fellow \nFilming O’Casey \nVenue: Huston School Main Room \nSean O’Casey never had much respect for commercial cinema\, even though he worked with two of its greatest directors. Alfred Hitchcock filmed Juno and the Paycock in England in 1929; John Ford filmed The Plough and the Stars in Hollywood in 1937. Both directors had sincere respect for the plays\, and for the Abbey Theatre actors whom they took care to use in many key roles\, but critics have agreed with O’Casey in disliking the results. This talk\, illustrated with documents as well as extracts\, examines the reasons for this hostility\, while making a revisionist case for the value of both films. Hitchcock’s\, as an early-sound record of\, especially\, Sarah Allgood’s definitive performance as Juno; Ford’s\, as a legitimate\, and historically fascinating\, reworking of O’Casey from his own more romantic perspective on the Easter Rising of 1916. Young Cassidy (1965) provides a footnote: a loose and lively biopic of O’Casey\, part-directed by Ford\, partly in Dublin\, towards the end of Ford’s career and of O’Casey’s life. Charles Barr has taught in the past at the Huston School as an Adjunct Professor\, and is back in Galway thanks to a research grant from the Moore Institute. His talk draws on collections held in the library. He has published extensively both on Ford and on Hitchcock; his new book\, co-authored for the University of Kentucky Press with the Parisian scholar Alain Kerzoncuf\, is Hitchcock\, Lost and Found – the Forgotten Films. There are two events at Filmbase in Dublin on the afternoon of 27th May\, to discuss Educating Film-makers and to launch Charles Barr’s Hitchcock Lost and Found – The Forgotten Films: ‘Cultivating Film-makers’ Hitchcock Lost and Found  \nFor more information please contact rod.stoneman@nuigalway.ie

SUMMARY:Inish Festival - Thursday 28th May to Sunday 31st May
DESCRIPTION:Inishbofin festival promises a wealth of poetry\, music and ‰Û÷Island Conversations’ \nAn innovative cultural festival\, featuring the best in literature\, poetry\, film and music will take place on the island of Inishbofin from Thursday 28th to Sunday 31st May next.  The inaugural Inish Festival – subtitled “Island Conversations”- will see international musicians\, writers and artists convene in this special\, secluded place for performances\, talks\, and conversations based around themes of insularity\, isolation and the role of the arts in society. The island of Inishbofin itself has inspired a host of writers\, including the poets Ted Hughes\, Sylvia Plath and Richard Murphy\, and its strong musical and cultural traditions make it the ideal venue in which to examine what makes islands such special places\, and examine what it is live on\, or be culturally inspired by\, Ireland’s offshore islands. The programme for the festival will appeal to a wide range of tastes\, featuring as it does readings from writers such as Kevin Barry\, Bernard O’Donoghue and Moya Cannon\, concerts with Declan O’Rourke\, The Voice Squad\, musicians Renaud Garcia-Fons\, Zoe Conway and John McIntyre\, and films by Directors Pat Collins\, Kieran Concannon and Alec Moore. Leading academics\, such as Prof. Lee Morrissey\, Prof. Daniel Carey\, Dr. Adrian Paterson and Dr. Rebecca Barr will address subjects such as ‰Û÷Literary Islands’ and the concept of ‰Û÷Citizenship\, Identity and the Irish Archipelago’. A highlight of the festival will be an examination of the poetry of Richard Murphy\, whose ‰Û÷Sailing to an Island’ is the poem most people associate with Inishbofin. Murphy\, now eighty-eight\, currently lives in Sri Lanka\, but a recorded interview with him by festival organiser\, filmmaker and Inishbofin native\, Peadar King will be a rare opportunity to hear the poet talk about his work\, and the inspiration behind it.  A full programme for the festival can be found at inishfestival.com. As accommodation on the island is limited\, early booking is advisable. \nFor further information log in to www.inishfestival.com or email inishfestival@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Professor Kate Nash\,Department of Sociology\, Goldsmiths\, University of London - 'Women's rights\, distant suffering and neo-imperialism'
DESCRIPTION:Gender ARC and Global Women’s Studies at NUI Galway  \nAre pleased to invite you to a Reception & Public Lecture   “Women’s rights\, distant suffering and neo-imperialism”  Professor Kate Nash \nDepartment of Sociology\, Goldsmiths\, University of London \nAbstract: Earlier this year the film ‰Û÷India’s Daughter’ was banned in India: it is illegal to show it there.  It is widely agreed that at least part of the Indian government’s reasoning was that it is a form of imperialism.  In responding to the ban\, the Israeli born\, UK-based director of the film\, Leslee Udwin\, claimed that\, as a global citizen\, she had the right to make it\, and to criticise Indian society.  Justifying imperialism using the rhetoric of human rights has a long and continuing history.  At the same time\, however\, the question of how we should respond to representations of people suffering in other countries cannot be avoided.  If neo-imperialism is the state of mind that ‰Û÷They need us to achieve rights; while we didn’t need them’\, what can we learn from the film and its reception about women’s rights\, distant suffering\, and neo-imperialism?  \n Kate Nash is a leading political sociologist whose work focuses on the nexus of human rights\, politics and culture.  Professor Nash has been with the Department of Sociology at Goldsmiths since 1999 where she teaches on the sociology of human rights; cultural politics; political sociology; feminist theory; citizenship; social movements; and equality and diversity. She earned a degree in Sociology at City University as a mature student\, completing in 1990\, and then a PhD in the Department of Government at Essex University\, finishing in 1995. She is Co-Director of the Centre for the Study of Global Media and Democracy at Goldsmiths\, and a Fellow of the Center for Cultural Sociology at Yale University. In 2010\, Professor Nash she was Visiting Professor at the New School for Social Research\, New York and Vincent Wright Professor at Sciences Po\, Paris.  Kate Nash is a highly-regarded\, pioneering thinker on the sociology and politics of human rights in a context of globalisation. She is author of: The Political Sociology of Human Rights (Cambridge University Press\, July 2015); Contemporary Political Sociology: globalization\, politics\, power (Sussex: Wiley-Blackwell\, 2010) and The Cultural Politics of Human Rights: Comparing the US and UK (Cambridge University Press\, 2009).
