SUMMARY:A Bun in the Oven: How the Food and Birth Movements Resist Industrialization
DESCRIPTION:By Barbara Katz Rothman\, Professor of Sociology\, CUNY in association with Gender Arc at NUI Galway \nBarbara Katz Rothman\, PhD\, is Professor of Sociology\, Public Health\, Disability Studies and Women’s Studies at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York\, where she also runs the Food Studies concentration. This talk focuses on her book\, A Bun in the Oven (2016)\, the first comparison of the birth and food social movements in the USA. In both movements\, issues of the natural\, the authentic\, and the importance of ‘meaningful’ and ‘personal’ experiences get balanced against discussions of what is sensible\, convenient and safe. And both movements operate in a context of commercial and corporate interests\,which places profit and efficiency above individual experiences and outcomes. A Bun in the Oven brings new insight into the relationship between our most intimate\, personal experiences\,the industries that control them\, and the social movements that resist the industrialization of life and seek to birth change. \nWith thanks to the Moore Institute and the Fulbright intercountry speaker scheme\nALL WELCOME!

SUMMARY:Film Screening and Q&A with historian and co-producer Bríona Nic Dhiarmada
DESCRIPTION:‘Mairéad Farrell — An Unfinished Conversation’ is a documentary from Loopline Film which investigates the life and death of Mairéad Farrell. In 1988\, the SAS shot dead Farrell and two other unarmed members of the IRA in Gibraltar. Due to her youth\, her gender\, and her stature within the IRA\, Farrell was quickly subsumed into the pantheon of Irish republican martyrs. To the British\, she was a terrorist. To her family\, she was a victim of Irish history. Martina Durac directed this documentary. \nThe screening will conclude with a Q&A with historian Bríona Nic Dhiarmada\, a co-producer of the film. The documentary film is based on the personal relationship Nic Dhiarmada had with Farrell. The two met several times and talked about Farrell’s life journey from the middle-class upbringing in Belfast to her rise as an iconic IRA figure once imprisoned then gunned down at age 31. At the time of Farrell’s death in 1988\, Nic Dhiarmada had been working on a book about her. \nAll are welcome! \nThis event is being held in tandem with a witness seminar on conflict related funerals later in the day at the Moore Institute. \nThis film screening is co-funded by the Moore Institute at NUIG and the Keough-Naughton Institute for Irish Studies at the University of Notre Dame. \n\n\nTo register please click here

SUMMARY:'Virtuosity\, Mediocrity and Creative Education' by Dr. Ian Munday (NUI Galway)
DESCRIPTION:About the Speaker\nDr. Ian Munday is Senior Lecturer in Educational Philosophy in the School of Education at NUI Galway. Ian’s research activities testify to an engagement with philosophical issues in education\, particularly those concerned with teaching and learning. His publications have tended to focus on various approaches to performatives and performativities and demonstrate the significance of these ideas for education.  The themes explored in these terms include race\, gender\, authority and the language of schooling. Here\, philosophical ideas are treated in regard to their relevance to the details of educational practice. Ian has also written on the themes of creativity and problem-solving. Ian is currently Convenor of Network 13 Philosophy of Education at ECER and Convenor of the Irish branch of the Philosophy of Education Society of Great Britain. \nAbstract\nThe popular understanding of creativity within the study of education tends to include the notion that everybody is creative and that one can draw a distinction between little “c” (or “common”) and big “C” (or “high”) creativity. Here “Creativity” talk resonates with other popular discourses around inclusion and well-being – creativity should no longer be the domain of the talented few\, and being creative can make us feel better. The commonly assumed connection between creativity and the arts is sublimed as the former is pictured as both ubiquitous and germane to all forms of activity. The view of creativity outlined above tends to be presented as “progressive” and vital for social and economic survival in the 21st century. “Conservative” opposition to it can be found in the work of the philosopher Roger Scruton who stresses the value of creative genius\, and the importance of being exposed to it\, in the face of what he sees as an increasingly degraded culture. In this paper I try and show ways in which the oppositions created by this disagreement deconstruct. Drawing on Nietzsche’s discussion of “untimeliness” I argue that the popular conception of creativity is only progressive in the most limited sense and contributes to conserving a nihilistic social imaginary in regard to the future. I then consider ways in which virtuosity is not without its virtues when it comes to social progress and that dulling its flame paves the way for an enforced mediocrity that maintains the status quo. Finally\, I introduce Dewey and Derrida to the discussion to consider the possibility that though creativity is in certain senses ubiquitous this need not take the anodyne form presented in the literature on education that makes this case. \nVenue: Tom Duddy seminar room\, Philosophy Building\, Morrisroe House\, 19  Distillery Road \nAll Welcome!

SUMMARY:‘The Clonbrock Photographic Collection and Lady Clonbrock (1839-1928): Contemporary Contexts and Public Activism' by Úna Kavanagh
DESCRIPTION:The Centre for Irish Studies invites you to attend the final seminar of our Irish Studies’ Seminar Series by Úna Kavanagh\, PhD Scholar at the Centre for Irish Studies\, will speak on her current research\, ‘The Clonbrock Photographic Collection and Lady Clonbrock (1839-1928): Contemporary Contexts and Public Activism’. The seminar will take place at 4pm\, Seminar Room\, Centre for Irish Studies. \nÚna Kavanagh’s doctoral research\, ‘Empire\, Science and Gender: The Life and Work of Lady Clonbrock\, August Dillon née Crofton’\, critically explores the life and work of Lady Clonbrock\, Augusta Dillon née Crofton (1839-1928) through images from the Clonbrock Photographic Collection (CPC) currently housed at the National Library of Ireland. \nHer work investigates Augusta Dillon\, Anglo-Irish woman of the ‘Big House’ at the Clonbrock Estate in East Galway. Dillon was a woman who made significant contributions to society over her extensive lifetime\, including public and private endeavours dedicated to family\, religion\, politics and the people of Connaught. This research will foreground Dillon’s scientific endeavours and her public life as a nineteenth-century Victorian woman of Ireland and Britain. Úna’s study of Augusta Dillon will strengthen\, critique and challenge previous representations of this forgotten Anglo-Irish figure. It will be the first substantial critical study of Dillon’s life\, work and legacy as framed through considerations of empire\, science and gender. \nPrevious research in the area focused predominantly on the key area of photography. It illustrated the seminal contribution of Augusta Dillon to the Clonbrock Photograph Collection (CPC) and her role as a scientific pioneer through it in the late-Victorian\, early-Edwardian era\, upholding the British Empire while residing in the West of Ireland. \nAt the seminar next Thursday Úna will demonstrate how\, through photographic images\, the Dillon family used their home and its surroundings to promote the family as being progressive\, modern\, intellectually and scientifically inquisitive\, and as benevolent landlords. Augusta’s wide-ranging public engagement will also be discussed with a particular focus on her duties with the Mountbellew Poor Law Union and Mountbellew Rural Disrict Council. Úna will be presenting on this portion of the seminar at the Galway Great Reads Festival\, “Pumps\, piers & potholes… 120 years of Local Government” at the Raheen Woods Hotel\, Athenry on Saturday 16 November 2019. \nOriginally from Kerry\, Úna Kavanagh has lived in Cork\, London and Houston\, Texas before returning to Galway in 2010. She is currently a PhD candidate engaged in a scholarly biographical study of Augusta Dillon\, Lady Clonbrock (1839-1928) working with Dr Nessa Cronin at the Centre for Irish Studies\, NUI Galway. She completed a BA Connect with Irish Studies at NUI Galway in 2017\, and received an Irish Studies’ Fellowship to attend the Yeats’ Summer School as part of her BA studies in 2014.  Úna was awarded an MA Humanities’ Scholarship in 2017\, and in 2018 she undertook her MA in History at NUI Galway where she was won the P. J. Mara Scholarship award. Her MA Dissertation focused on how anti-Treaty internees articulated versions of masculinities and their ideologies through contributions to an autograph book from those interned in Tintown Camp No. 2 at the Curragh during 1923. \n  \nPhotos attached: 2019 Galway’s Great Read Festival: Úna Kavanagh thrilled to meet Ms Mary Glynn (née Egan) who worked in Clonbrock House in the 1940s\, at a talk on the Estate’s photo collection at Ballinasloe Library\, bringing Irish photographic and landscape history alive! \n

SUMMARY:'From Ethics to Ontology to the Anthropocene' by Dr. Nora Ward
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Nora Ward (NUI\, Galway) will present a paper. ‘From Ethics to Ontology to the Anthropocene’\, as part of the seminar series of the Values and Identities research group on Monday 18th November. \nAbout the speaker\nNora Ward is a lecturer in the philosophy department. She received her BA and MA from NUIG\, and completed her Ph.D. in the University of North Texas. Her research is on environmental ethics\, with a particular focus on environmental identity\, ecofeminism and ecomodernism. She is also interested in public philosophy and the role and place of philosophical work outside the academy. \nAbstract\nChristian Diehm writes that “the increasingly arcane debates about environmental ethics are\, at base\, debates about ontology.”1 The implication that the field of environmental ethics may be more appropriately understood as environmental ontology has a long history in environmental philosophy\, with many thinkers stressing the primacy of ontology over ethics and asserting that a productive environmental ethic can only emerge as a direct consequence of a radically new conception of subjectivity. Yet\, practical questions as to how a new ethic can emerge from a new ontology remain largely unanswered. In this talk\, I look at the role of story as intermediary between ethics and ontology within environmental philosophy\, with specific reference to the work of Irish philosopher\, John Moriarty. I argue that Moriarty’s work uses particular narratives as a way to ground and contextualise subjectivity in its relation to place\, serving as a possible point of connection between modes of being and modes of action. Finally\, I briefly explore whether the Anthropocene is another possible example of such a grounding narrative\, analysing\, in particular\, the role of ontological insecurity in orienting towards ethical action. \nBio: \nhttps://mooreinstitute.ie/research-group/values-identities/ \nALL WELCOME

SUMMARY:Republic of Conscience: Human Rights and Modern Irish Poetry by Dr. Rióna Ní Fhrighil
DESCRIPTION:The triadic relationship between poetry\, human rights and literary translation is at the heart of the research project Republic of Conscience: Human Rights and Modern Irish Poetry upon which this presentation is based. Cognisant that Percy Bysshe Shelley claimed that “poets were the unacknowledged legislators of the world”\, this presentation will critically examine the relationship between poetry\, human rights\, and activism in an interconnected world. What is the role of the poet in times of great crises? To what extent\, if at all\, have Irish poets engaged critically with the concept of human rights itself? What is the relevance of the national paradigm in an era of global networks where information\, capital\, goods\, and discourse transverse geographical and political borders? This presentation will also include a discussion of the opportunities inherent in\, and the challenges posed by\, interdisciplinary research of this type. \nDr. Rióna Ní Fhrighil is a lecturer in the School of Languages\, Literatures and Cultures at the National University of Ireland\, Galway. She has published extensively on twentieth-century Irish poetry and literary translation and is the author of Briathra\, Béithe agus Banfhilí (2008)\, a monograph on the poetry of Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill and Eavan Boland. She is co-editor of the peer-reviewed journal LÉANN and of a forthcoming special edition of the international journal Translation Studies titled Translation in Ireland: Historical and Contemporary Perspectives. Rióna was the principal Irish-language researcher on the AHRC-funded project\, The Representation of Jews in Irish Literature. In 2018 she was awarded substantial research funding under the prestigious IRC Laureate Award scheme for her project Republic of Conscience: Human Rights and Modern Irish Poetry. She is also co-director of the interdisciplinary project Aistriú\, funded by Galway 2020 as part its European Capital of Culture programme. \nAll welcome!  \nWebsite:    www.nuigalway.ie/human_rights/\nTwitter:https://twitter.com/IrishCentreHR\nFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/IrishHumanRights
