SUMMARY:The Future of the Humanities: Challenges and Opportunities
DESCRIPTION:This autumn the UCD Humanities Institute celebrates its 20th anniversary. We can look back over a successful history. Generations of PhDs and postdoctoral fellows have benefitted from the unique research environment offered by the Humanities Institute . Hundreds of conferences\, workshops and Distinguished Guest Lectures have placed the Humanities Institute on the national and international maps\, and collaborations with external partners and with the other research institutes in UCD have created a vibrant interdisciplinary network spanning the Humanities\, Social Sciences and STEM areas. Our Soundcloud is attracting a growing public audience. So there is much to celebrate. \nAnd yet\, in recent years the humanities have come under pressure\, nationally and internationally. Celebrating the humanities therefore also means articulating a vision for the 21st century. \nWe would like to invite you to the following special lecture: \nProfessor Dan Carey (MRIA\, Director of the Moore Institute\, NUI Galway) \nThe Future of the Humanities: Challenges and Opportunities \nDaniel Carey is a board member of the Irish Research Council and has served as chair of the Irish Humanities Alliance (2014-16). He has held grants from the Mellon Foundation\, the IRC\, the AHRC\, British Academy\, MHRA\, and other sources\, and has mentored 12 postdoctoral fellows funded by Marie Skłodowska Curie actions\, the IRC\, and other schemes. His current research is a major international project to edit the work of Richard Hakluyt (www.hakluyt.org) and has published widely on intellectual history\, colonialism\, and economic thought. \nRegistration\nRegister for free on Eventbrite. The Zoom link for this talk will be emailed to all registered participants the day before the event.

SUMMARY:Being in the air: An intellectual and aesthetic history of climate
DESCRIPTION:Current conceptualizations of climate and climate change are dominated by the abstract idea of climate as “the average weather.” This scientific understanding needs to be complemented by a cultural concept of climate which has a long tradition from Antiquity to the Enlightenment. In order to understand what it means to “be in the air” culturally\, politically\, and medically\, we need a cultural conception of climate as an environment. This talk by Professor Eva Horn\, University of Vienna\, provides historical and literary examples of what it might mean to understand the air from the inside\, as an element of individual\, social\, and cultural life.
