To Whom it Concerns,

We at Trowel, the student archaeological journal of
University College, Dublin are looking for lists of
archaeological theses with an Irish character. If any
of the students in your department are currently
researching a thesis on any aspect of Irish
archaeology, could you please forward the details to
us for inclusion in our upcoming volume. If you know
of anyone in your department who would be willing to
write a piece for our journal, please include their
details also.

Thank you for your co-operation.

From: "michael j. curran"

Paddy
the research you mentioned is partly based on a number of approx. 100
elderly UK based Irish who were invited to Mayo last September by the Mayo
Emigrant Liaison Committee. I met some of them at a conference in Castlebar.
They enjoyed the obvious welcome, but it may not be wise to entice them to
return. The organiser was Kevin Bourke at 0035387 2439748.

Some descriptive/qualitative work with Irish elders has been done by
campaigning agencies but I wonder would it come under the remit of stringent
research.

THE ECONOMICS OF FAMINE AND FAMINE RELIEF:
PERSPECTIVES FROM THE PAST AND PRESENT

A conference on "The Economics of Famine and Famine Relief:
Perspectives from the Past and Present", with funding from the
European Science Foundation, is being planned for late spring
2003 at a location in Europe still to be finalised. Papers on a
broad range of topics (e.g. markets and famine, famine and state
socialism, entitlements and famine, the problem of agency in
administering relief, short- and longer-term demographic
consequences, famine and war, the changing role of infectious
disease, the role of medical technology, urbanisation and famine,
transport/trade and famine, migration and famine) are envisaged.
New research on twentieth-century famines is particularly
welcome, but it is hoped to cover a wide field, both
chronologically and geographically.

Proposals for papers on historical and modern famines, from both
economists and other social scientists, are welcome. For further
info. write to Cormac Ó Gráda, University College, Dublin,
Ireland at cormac.ograda[at]ucd.ie.

Hi Patrick

Just saw Anne O'Connor's intended research area. I am not sure if FIS
included
my M.SC in Social Work thesis entitled "Who Cares for the Irish?", 1996.
Although this was never published it may be useful to her. The research
looked
at older Irish Peoples use of their Social Services Department in the London
Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. It involved quantitative research with 12
older Irish people looking at their journey to Britain and their experiences
of
living in London.. Various themes emerged which included a demand for
separate
services for Irish people.

Hello Paddy

Here's my tuppence.

I too agree that people have the 'right to lurk' - or, if you prefer, they
should be free to browse, and maybe learn, without feeling they have to
contribute themselves. The whole point of information and the internet is
that it should be open and the environment should not be an intimating one
where, say, young or new scholars might feel obliged to 'justify'
themselves.

I support Policy B (1) - the more the word gets around, the better.

I can live with Option i or ii. I think you should go with whichever creates
the least additional work for you.

I took my children to see the Harry Potter movie at the weekend...

Whatever you may think about J. K. Rowling's books (and, o lord, does she
not need a good editor) we cannot knock books that children enjoy and which
turn them into readers. My smaller boy adores the books, and loved the
movie.

I don't often bother to remark or complain about these things, but you
cannot help noticing that the movie has acquired a curious 'Irish' subtext,
a subtext that is not in the original books...

For example, Harry Potter readers will know that J. K. Rowling has hi-jacked
the English boarding school ('public school') story and given it a magical
twist. But her magic is an equal opportunities employer, and there are
representatives of all England's ethnic groups in her school - Chinese,
Indian and an Irish boy called Seamus Finnigan. Who is a decent sort.

There is also a clumsy boy, called Neville Longbottom (a Northern
England/Yorkshire name) - whose magical experiments, in a running gag, go
disasterously wrong.

In the MOVIE, same running gag - but the disasterously explosive magical
experiments have been given to the IRISH boy.

In the book, Hagrid (the school's gamekeeper person) buys Fluffy, the giant
three-headed dog, from 'a Greek chappie I met in the pub...' In the MOVIE
it becomes an Irishman he met in the pub...

The scriptwriter of the Harry Potter movie is Steve Kloves - who is an
American, with a good track record (Fabulous Baker Boys, etc.)

What does it all mean? I don't know. J. K. Rowling herself has clearly
worked hard to avoid this kind of sterotyping. These changes have come into
the story at the script development stage. Maybe these are simply further
examples of the curious shorthand uses which the word 'Irish' has acquired
in English-speaking cultures...

Hello Paddy,

Policy B(2), technical option (i) seems like the most practical/useful
arrangement. Successfully implementing such a system while keeping it
cost-effective can be a troubling experience. As someone who wears the web

Paddy,

yep, I noticed this too; it made my partner, who has not read any of the
books
really angry. I had to reassure him that this was not done in the books.
What
you don't draw out is the specific nature of the disasterous spells;
everything
explodes, including the attempt to turn water into rum (rum?! Why not
whiskey?). Certainly from a British context this has connotations of two
staples, Irish=IRA and the Irish as drunks.

FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS
WOMEN'S HISTORY: IRISH/CANADIAN CONNECTIONS
Saint Mary's University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
21-24 August 2002


Hosted by the D¹Arcy McGee Chair Of Irish Studies,
Saint Mary's University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
In Association With
The Women's Education, Research And Resource Centre (WERRC),
University College Dublin (UCD), Ireland


Historians and researchers of Irish and Canadian women's history are invited
to a women's history conference to be held at Saint Mary's University,
Halifax, Nova Scotia on 21-24 August 2002. The conference is being run by
an organising committee associated with the Women's Education, Research and
Resource Centre (WERRC), University College Dublin and the D¹Arcy McGee
Chair of Irish Studies, Saint Mary's University. This conference will
provide an important venue for: 1) the exchange of ideas and information
between Irish and Canadian historians of women, and 2) the cultivation of
a cross-cultural network of scholars working in a wide variety of areas of
Canadian and Irish women¹s history.

The Conference Keynote will be delivered by distinguished Irish historian,
Margaret MacCurtain. Other conference highlights include: Margaret Conrad
(Acadia University), Mary Daly (University College Dublin), Linda Kealey
(University of New Brunswick), Maria Luddy (University of Warwick), Ailbhe
Smyth (WERRC, University College Dublin), and Margaret Ward (Democratic
Dialogue, Belfast).

The conference will be loosely organised around the following themes: 1)
Documenting Women¹s Lives in Ireland and Canada, 2) Women, Politics and
Citizenship, and 3) Women¹s History: Social Movements and Social Change.
Sessions will have a broad chronological range, and will focus on issues in
women¹s history such as religion, education, medical issues, social
movements, politics, nationalism, economics, labour, immigration/emigration,
demographics, ethnicities, colonial legislative and penal systems, images of
women in literature and the visual arts, and women's writing, from an Irish,
Canadian, or comparative Irish/Canadian perspective. We encourage
submissions that analyse conditions of gender, class, sexuality, race and
ethnicity within these broad frameworks.

The organising committee invites proposals for formal papers approximately
30 minutes in length, as well as proposals for research presentations
approximately 15 minutes long, in the above areas. A specific session will
be set aside for summaries of new or ongoing research projects. Proposals
for papers should consist of a title, an abstract (up to 250 words),
together with a short (1 page) CV. Please submit your proposal by post (3
copies) or e-mail, including your address, phone/fax nos and e-mail by 31
January 2002 to: Marie Hammond Callaghan, c/o Women's Education, Research
and Resource Centre (WERRC), Arts Annexe, University College Dublin, Dublin
4, Ireland, e-mail: marie.hammond[at]novaworx.ca or
marie.hammondcallaghan[at]ucd.ie.

Please note that the organisers intend to publish as a volume a collection
of papers from the conference. Candidates whose proposals are successful,
who wish their papers to be considered for publication, will be expected to
submit completed conference papers in advance of the conference in 2002.
This deadline, along with publication guidelines, will be provided upon
approval of their conference proposal submissions.
