SUMMARY:Centre for Applied Linguistics and Multilingualism (CALM) Seminar Series: Corpus linguistics tools in language acquisition.
DESCRIPTION:Guest Speaker:  Prof. Anna Bączkowska\, University of Gdansk \nProf. Anna Bączkowska\, University of Gdansk\, will talk about the CHILDES database\, which is a repository of transcripts of conversations held among adults and children.The data illustrate developmental changes occurring in language acquisition in monolingual and bilingual children. Some corpus and NLP tools which allow one to extract material from the database as well as some statistical information available through different software programs will be demonstrated. Examples will be shown and analysed by resorting to the data of bilingual and multilingual children. \nInfo/register: https://tinyurl.com/v8hcvt97 \n  \nEvent Recording

SUMMARY:Conference: Speculative Art And Spatial Justice
DESCRIPTION:How can imaginative practices create fairer and safer spaces?\nAbout\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe greatest challenges of our time – from climate crisis\, global migrations\, income inequality to the recent COVID-19 pandemic – can be regarded as spatial issues. The geographies of globalization – the settlements\, landscapes\, infrastructures\, networks\, supply chains\, markets\, and factories which make up our world – are produced unevenly in a fashion which entrenches poverty and exacerbates planetary pollution (Harvey 2000). As a result of geopolitical interventions\, a great number of people have been deprived of their rights to both public and private spaces\, whereas increased mobility in the developed world has undermined the established concepts of dwelling and spatial rootedness. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAddressing the overlapping issues of social oppression and spatial injustice (Soja 2010) – such as exploitation of natural resources\, unsustainable urbanisation\, aggressive agriculture – demands a radical transformation of local\, national and global spaces. Energy transitions\, investments in public infrastructures and services\, provisioning of safe and affordable housing\, and restoration of green and blue spaces are just some of the changes we need to see. Emergency governmental responses to COVID-19 initiated rapid and radical societal changes that would have previously been unimaginable to many. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTaking the pandemic response as one of the examples of a possible paradigm shift in terms of the kind of political action that can be imagined\, this workshop emphasises the vital role of speculative fiction\, film and visual art in shaping the physical world. Amid the global pandemic\, and at the doorstep of climate breakdown\, how can imaginative practices address and rectify spatial injustice? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeculative literature and art – understood broadly here as a category encompassing science fiction\, fantasy\, eco-fiction\, utopia and dystopia – have long been concerned with imagining space differently. In depicting future or alternative worlds\, artists can explore the spatial dynamics of oppression\, exploitation and despoliation under today’s global capitalism. Yet\, is it possible to go from cultural representation to societal transformation? Can our “reflection upon the virtual guide our understanding of the real (or actual)”\, as Henri Lefebvre suggested in his seminal work The Production of Space (1974)? How can we see the spaces of speculative art as potential shapers of healthier and fairer environments? Conversely\, how do these artworks deny visions and narratives which erase the spatial abuses of our past\, present and future? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorks cited: \n\nHarvey\, David\, Spaces of Hope\,  Edinburgh\, University Press\, 2000.\nLefebvre\, Henri\, The Production of Space\,  Translated by Donald Nicholson-Smith\, Blackwell Publishing\, 2008.\nSoja\, Edward\, Seeking Spatial Justice\, University of Minnesota Press\, 2010.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor more information see: http://sasj2021.com/ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe workshop will take place on April 16-17\, 2021 via Zoom. \nFor registration please email us at sasj2021@gmail.com \nor apply via registration form. \nRegistration deadline is  April 14\, 2021 at 8 PM (GMT). \nRegistration is free of charge.

SUMMARY:The Child Sex Scandal and Modern Irish Literature: Writing the Unspeakable
DESCRIPTION:Irish Studies’ Seminar Series-Spring 2021 – School of Geography\, Archaeology and Irish Studies\, in association with the Moore Institute\, NUI Galway. \nDistinguished Professor in English and Disability Studies Joseph Valente\, PhD\, and the John and Rebecca Moores Professor of English at the University of Houston Margot Gayle Backus\, PhD\, will speak on their newly published book The Child Sex Scandal and Modern Irish Literature: Writing the Unspeakable. The authors examine modern cultural responses to child sex abuse in Ireland. Beginning with James Joyce\, they offer historically contextualized and psychoanalytically informed readings of scandal narratives by nine notable modern Irish authors who actively\, pointedly\, and persistently question Ireland’s responsibilities regarding its children. Through close\, critical readings\, a more nuanced and troubling account emerges of how Ireland’s postcolonial heritage has served to enable such abuse. \nWith a Foreword by Fintan O’Toole\, The Child Sex Scandal and Modern Irish Literature refines the debates on why so many Irish children were lost by offering insight into the lived experience of both the children and those who failed them. \nSpeakers\n\nProfessor Margot Backus (University of Houston)\nProfessor Joseph Valente (University at Buffalo\, SUNY)\n\nChair: Dr Nessa Cronin\, Centre for Irish Studies\, School of Geography\, Archaeology and Irish Studies\, NUI Galway. \nRegistration\nPlease register for this Zoom webinar at: https://nuigalway-ie.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_IViKcWogTpeu3Gnon1QNZA.

SUMMARY:May Day webinar: Revolution? Ireland from below\, c.1919-1923
DESCRIPTION:This webinar\, hosted by the Irish Centre for Histories of Labour and Class and the Moore Institute\, looks at Ireland from below in the Revolutionary period. During the Irish struggle for independence\, and underpinning that struggle\, a number of grassroots social movements – including general strikes\, land seizures\, and the munitions boycott by transport workers – developed. In recent commemorative events\, this aspect of the history of the period has frequently been overlooked. The panel will discuss various social struggles of 1919-1923\, considering the objectives of those involved\, their notions of justice and equity\, and their connections with political and military organisations. \nPanellists\n\nDr Anne Boran\nFrancis Devine\nDr Terry Dunne\nMs Moira Leyden\nDr Peter Rigney\n\nMODERATOR: \nDr John Cunningham\, Director – ICHLC \nFollowed by the launch of Peter Rigney’s How Railwaymen and Dockers Defied an Empire: The Irish Munitions Embargo of 1920\, launched by Tish Gibbons. \nRegistration\nTo attend\, please register via: https://nuigalway-ie.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_VfbdNcjSSD6fx9B9UIhplA. The session will also be streamed live on the Moore Institute’s Facebook page. \nEvent Recording
