SUMMARY:The Role of Journalism in Northern Ireland - CANCELLED
DESCRIPTION:Yvette Shapiro\, Alison Morris and Sarah Travers join Professor Richard English\, Pro-Vice-Chancellor and Professor of Politics at Queen’s University for what is sure to be an engaging and entertaining evening. \nThe role of journalists in conflict areas and post-conflict processes are unique but the importance of enabling the public to make well-informed decision is all the more critical. \nThe experiences of those who have witnessed at first hand some of the most memorable events in this recent history of Northern Ireland will be relayed\, alongside their insightful analysis of where we as a society have got to and where to next.

SUMMARY:The Democratic Imagination - CANCELLED
DESCRIPTION:In Britain\, what happens when a ‘Remainer’ imagines talking to a ‘Leaver? Or in the USA\, when someone who is ‘pro-life’ imagines a conversation with someone who is ‘pro-choice’? And\, closer to home\, how does a nationalist get along with a unionist in an imagined conversation about flag displays or a united Ireland? When we use our democratic imagination and imagine talking to people we disagree with\, does this lead to a positive outcome? Does it make us more open to compromise on issues\, and more positively disposed towards people we disagree with? \nWe will discuss the impact of the democratic imagination. Does it make political divisions worse or better? We examine the idea that the future of democracy relies upon our ability to positively imagine engaging with people with whom we disagree. Presentations by Professor John Garry and Dr. James Pow from The Democracy Unit in Queen’s University Belfast\, followed by questions and answers.

SUMMARY:Responding to out Planetary Emergency: The Crucial Decade Ahead - ONLINE CHECK OUT IMAGINEBELFAST.COM
DESCRIPTION:What does the Church of England\, the Davos annual meeting of those who ‘run the world’\, climate scientists and activists from Greta Thunberg and the school strike for climate movement and Extinction Rebellion all have in common? \nWhen such disparate organisations are all in agreement that there is an urgent need to recognise and respond to our planetary emergency\, you know something unusual is happening. \nCalling for ‘rapid and far-reaching transitions in energy\, land\, urban and infrastructure and industrial systems’\, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change notes that the actions required to stay within 1.5°C of warming are unprecedented in terms of scale in the timeframe required. Business as usual is not an option if we wish to avoid catastrophic changes to the natural and human world. While the UK government and others have committed to be ‘net zero’ by 2050\, this is far too late and decarbonsiation needs to be much quicker\, by 2030. We need rapid and at scale transformation in all parts of our lives from how and what we eat\, create electricity\, heat our homes and offices and travel. But how do we get there? What changes will be needed? How will our lives change? How to mobilise and enthuse people? And how do we ensure this is a ‘just transition’? \nDrawing on over 30 years as an academic\, activist and recovering politician\, John Barry will examine these huge issues from his own experience\, and link that with insights from psychology\, social movement analysis\, philosophy and cultural studies as well as best practice and innovation from other parts of the world. He will also look at the potential of new initiatives such as the recently launched Belfast Climate Commission to offer local solutions to the planetary emergency\, as well as proposals for more citizen-based decision-making such as citizens’ assemblies. What if\, in the face of the planetary emergency\, the greatest challenge humanity has ever face\, ‘we are the people we’ve been waiting for?’ \nJohn Barry is Professor of Green Political Economy at Queen’s University Belfast and author of The Politics of Actually Existing Unsustainability: Human Flourishing in a Climate-Changed\, Carbon Constrained World.
