SUMMARY:Insights and intersections: NI Ethnic Minorities' and Migrants' Relations
DESCRIPTION:This interactive event will bring together individuals\, community groups\, civil society organisations\, policymakers and researchers to discuss the ways migrant and minority ethnic members of NI society:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nmake proactive contributions to activism and philanthropy locally and globally about environmental concerns;\nengage in good environmental practices for the purposes of wellbeing\, enterprise and environmental justice;\nshare insights from those who are in/directly impacted by environmental issues\, including migration from global climate change; access\, participation and exploitation within agriculture\, particularly in terms of how those relations are affected by Brexit\, the hostile environment\, and the purchase of land in a context where farms are often inherited.\n\nThrough this discussion\, it is hoped that fertile ground will be laid for future co-curated research and cross-fertilisation of ways in which to promote inclusive practices within\, and with\, diverse communities. Speakers and audience members will be encouraged to identify important areas\, research questions and partnerships to bridge the current academic research gap about the environment\, which was identified in the project report\, ‘Collation and Mapping of Research related to Migrant and Minority Ethnic Matters in Northern Ireland produced within Northern Ireland’s Universities’ (Lubit & Belluigi\, 2021). \nThis event is hosted by the MME Council in partnership with Queen’s University Belfast.

SUMMARY:The climate crisis and ensuring a just transition beyond carbon
DESCRIPTION:This event will take place at Queen’s University Belfast and will involve panel talks and discussions\, followed by a Q&A session on the crucial role of trade unions in climate action. \nWith growing awareness of the climate crisis\, the focus is now shifting towards climate action and how to transition societies beyond their dependence on fossil fuels. For some this means that this transition is now inevitable. However\, whether it will be “just” is not. This discussion will examine the crucial role of the trades’ union movement (where the idea of a ‘just transition’ originated) in contributing to the political process of managing this transition in a manner that is inclusive\, democratic and where no community or section of society or the workforce is left behind. \nThis event will be led by John Barry\, Professor of Green Political Economy and Co-director of the Centre for Sustainability at Queen’s. Panel members will include Hilary Wainwright\, University of Bradford\, Susan Fitzgerald\, Unite the Union’s Regional Industrial Officer for Northern Ireland\, and Dr. Stiofán Ó Nualláin\, co-director of Trademark Belfast\, the Irish Congress of Trade Unions political education and anti-sectarian unit.

SUMMARY:Expressing a youth perspective on climate damage using animation
DESCRIPTION:Don Duncan\, a filmmaker\, journalist and lecturer at Queen’s University will lead a discussion on how young people feel alienated and disenfranchised when it comes to bringing about change in the climate agenda. \nThis event will include a live showcase/presentation of animations produced by young people in Northern Ireland on the subject of climate justice and human rights. This will be followed by a panel discussion and audience Q&A.

The Foster chair is the only endowed chair of Irish History in Britain\, and is attached to Hertford\, the Oxford college with the strongest Irish associations. He has broad interests in Ireland between the seventeenth and twenty-first centuries\, especially its politics\, culture and intellectual life. He currently holds a Leverhulme Major Research Award which will enable him to spend two years researching and writing a study of the impact of the penal laws on eighteenth-century Ireland. \nProfessor McBride grew up in County Armagh\, and his interest in History flowed naturally from the political instability and intensity of Northern Ireland in the late twentieth century. He was educated at Jesus College\, Oxford and University College London\, and was awarded a research fellowship at Corpus Christi College\, Cambridge (1993-96). Between 2000 and 2016 he taught at King’s College London. \nHis books include The Siege of Derry in Ulster Protestant Mythology (1997) and Scripture Politics: Ulster Presbyterians and Irish Radicalism in the Late Eighteenth Century (1998)\, both short-listed for the Christopher Ewart-Biggs Literary Prize; and Eighteenth-Century Ireland: The Isle of Slaves (2009). His most recent publication is The Princeton History of Modern Ireland (2016)\, edited with Richard Bourke. Professor McBride is currently completing work on Irish Political Writings I\, a volume for the new Cambridge Edition of the Works of Jonathan Swift. \nSince 2004 Professor McBride has been convener of the Conference of Irish Historians in Britain which he now organises jointly with Dr Caoimhe Nic Dháibhéid. This conference was founded by Marianne by Marianne Elliott and Roy Foster and has held biennial meetings for 40 years. It provides the main forum for Irish historians working on this island to present their work. Further details can be found on the conference website (http://irishhistoriansinbritain.org/)\, which also contains twenty-two short pieces written to commemorate the centenary of 1916. \nProfessor McBride has presented his research to a wide range of audiences\, from the Presbyterian Historical Society in Belfast to Coiste na n-Iarchimí\, an ex-prisoners organization consisting of former members of the Provisional IRA\, in South Armagh. As part of Derry’s year as city of culture (2013) he organized a conference on the history and legacy of the Siege of Derry in collaboration with the Apprentice Boys. He has been interviewed for a variety of BBC Northern Ireland programmes\, and was presenter and consultant on a one-hour documentary entitled Forgotten Revolutionary: Francis Hutcheson\, first broadcast on BBC2 on 25 July 2012; he was also a panelist on the In Our Time episode on A Modest Proposal.

SUMMARY:Building Peace Across Religious Divides in Nigeria with Professor Darren Kew\, University of Massachusetts\, Boston
DESCRIPTION:Darren Kew is Professor of Conflict Resolution at UMass Boston and author of Civil Society\, Conflict Resolution\, and Democracy in Nigeria.  \nNigeria is one of the few nations of the world that is divided evenly between Muslims and Christians\, and violent conflicts frequently erupt across that divide.  Many groups are working to build greater peace between Muslims and Christians\, including the Interfaith Mediation Centre (IMC)\, which has gained global attention for its work across Nigeria and elsewhere. \nProfessor Darren Kew of UMass Boston has spent much of the last 15 years working with IMC and many other Nigerian groups like it\, and will present some of his findings on 1) the model that IMC has developed for bridging religious divides\, which relies heavily not only on religious conviction\, but also the social status associated with religious leaders\, and 2) the impacts this work has had on divided communities in Nigeria.  Implications for religious peacebuilding in other societies like Northern Ireland will be discussed as well. \nThe seminar will be facilitated by Dr Gladys Ganiel\, Reader in Sociology and Mitchell Institute Fellow. \nTo register before 12noon on Wednesday 10 March 2021\, please click book now.  A meeting link will be sent via email before this event. \n

SUMMARY:Why the Holocaust matters in today’s deeply divided world
DESCRIPTION:In the memory of the Holocaust and subsequent genocides\, join Lord Mayor\, Alderman Frank McCoubrey and Professor James Waller\, Cohen Professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Keene State College\, New Hampshire\, for a virtual talk exploring why the Holocaust matters in today’s deeply divided world. \nAs we commemorate the victims of the Holocaust\, we are challenged to also recognise it as a historical event with contemporary lessons for today’s deeply divided world. Commemorating the Holocaust is to be reminded of the diligence necessary to promote and protect human rights\, the deep commitment to nurture inclusive democratic institutions\, and the willingness to see our neighbour in the face of ‘the other’\, rather than as a threat. Commemoration of the past must be followed by responsibility to the present and our shared future. \nDrawing on face-to-face interviews with over 225 perpetrators of genocide and mass atrocity\, this event will explore the process by which ordinary people become capable of committing such extraordinary evil and will provide insights into the importance of challenging the hate that gives rise to division. \nThis free event will take place on Tuesday 26 January at 12 noon via Zoom\, lasting approximately one and a half hours. \nPlease register through ND Events here.
