SUMMARY:Midnight Traveller - screening at QFT - CANCELLED
DESCRIPTION:We are currently in the midst of Europe’s largest refugee crisis since World War II — one million refugees in 2015 alone. Filmmakers Hassan Fazili\, his wife Fatima Hossaini\, and their two daughters\, Nargis and Zahra\, became four of those one million. \nWhen the Taliban put a bounty on Fazili’s head\, the family were forced to flee their home country and seek asylum; Midnight Traveller is an incredibly moving\, unusual and highly personal take on a refugee story — the entire feature-length film shot on three mobile phones. We travel with the family through every stage of the journey; bonding with them\, watching them overcome huge obstacles\, numbing tedium and petty disagreements alike — sharing their pain and their triumphs\, seeing months stretch into years with no resolution. \nLike recent awards hit For Sama\, Midnight Traveller shows us the plight of the displaced from the inside\, with heart-breaking immediacy. Powerful\, personal and impossible to ignore. \nDir: Hassan Fazili | 2019 | Qatar/UK/Canada/USA | 1 hr 28 mins | Subtitled | Cert 15

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:Recycling History: The Bicycle and Protest in Ireland with Barry Sheppard - ONLINE CHECK OUT IMAGINEBELFAST.COM
DESCRIPTION:Since the late nineteenth century\, the humble bicycle has played a minor\, yet significant role in Irish history. Internationally\, the bicycle has been an integral instrument of protest and cultural change. From use during times of revolution\, to a tool of cultural nationalism\, and a vehicle for calling attention to indigenous language rights\, the bicycle is inextricably linked to a formative period in Ireland’s history. This lecture will highlight the role the bicycle has played in history ‘from below’ in matters relating to the revolution\, the Irish language\, cultural nationalism\, and commemoration from the late nineteenth century\, right through to recent decades across the island of Ireland. \nBarry Sheppard is a PhD researcher in History at Queen’s University Belfast\, researching transnational history and the evolution of socio-religious ideas across national borders. Barry is the presenter of ‘History Now’ on Northern Visions Television\, and is a previous recipient of the Robert Dudley Edwards History Prize (2012)\, and the Giving Northern Ireland research bursary (2015).

SUMMARY:A Women's Constitution: Won for All?
DESCRIPTION:Conversations on the constitutional status of Northern Ireland are flourishing in public and behind the scenes. So far\, most of these conversations have focused on UK union\, Irish unity and their implications for rights\, equality\, health\, education and the economy. The impacts of constitutional change on women’s and other marginalised lives are rarely considered. This International Women’s Day event is an opportunity\, open to all\, to consider the following: what would a woman-friendly constitution look like? Would a women-friendly constitution benefit other marginalised groups? How might it happen? Other questions are very welcome. All welcome. \nContributors: \n• Dr Fidelma Ashe\, Ulster University \n• Catherine Cooke\, Co-ordinator Foyle Women’s Information Network \n• Susan McCrory\, Manager Falls Women’s Centre \n• Anne McVicker\, Director Women’s Research & Development Agency \n• Eileen Weir\, Outreach Worker Shankill Women’s Centre \nChair: Eilish Rooney (Emeritus Ulster University)

SUMMARY:Queen's Policy Engagement Post-Brexit Clinic - February 2020
DESCRIPTION:The UK’s request to extend the Brexit deadline to 31 January 2020 was agreed in 2019 but the UK can also leave before then if a deal is agreed by Parliament. However\, as things stand\, the 1st February 2020 will mark the first day of the transition period for the UK and the beginning of a very tight timeframe for negotiating the UK’s future relationship with the EU before the 31 December deadline. \nJoin us on 4 February 2020 for the latest updates from our resident Brexit experts\, led by Professor David Phinnemore. Will the UK have exited the EU on the 31st January? Has Boris simply kicked a cliff-edge Brexit down the line? Will the new withdrawal agreement create a border in the Irish Sea? \nTo register\, click here.  \nWe look forward to seeing you then.

SUMMARY:Repowering Democracy? Community participation in the energy transition
DESCRIPTION:As yet another round of global climate talks end in failure and we are poised to set another emissions record in 2019\, efforts turn again to alternative mechanisms to build a just climate future. Energy transitions need to play a central role in future emissions reductions but ensuring transitions are deep\, resilient and effective requires a change in social infrastructure as much as it does technological infrastructure. In this talk\, Dr MacArthur examines the practice and theory of energy democracy internationally. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRecent research highlights how democratic innovations from citizens policy forums to direct asset ownership and control in ‘community power’ may contribute to much needed energy transitions away from fossil fuels and contribute to addressing the current global climate crisis. They may also play a role in reinvigorating civic spaces and contributing to economic democracy with benefits far beyond the current climate crisis. However\, significant debates exist as to who constitutes the ‘community’ in diverse contexts\, how large a role these actors can play\, and how transferrable models are between nations. In this interactive session we explore these questions and what they might mean for the future of citizen energy in Northern Ireland. To register\, click here. \n\n\nBio: \nDr Julie MacArthur is a Senior Lecturer in Politics and International Relations and the Master of Public Policy program at the University of Auckland where she teaches environmental politics and public policy. She is the author of Empowering Electricity: Co-operatives\, Sustainability and Power Sector Reform in Canada (UBC Press\, 2016)\, as well more than 20 articles and book chapters on sustainable community development\, participatory environmental governance\, and comparative energy policy. Dr MacArthur has won SSHRC and RSNZ Marsden Fund grants for her research on the contribution of community energy initiatives to climate change mitigation and local development\, as well as an Early Career Research Excellence Award from the University of Auckland to study the role of gender in energy transitions. Julie is currently a research associate with the University of Auckland’s Energy Centre and its Public Policy Institute. \nThis seminar is jointly held by the Community Climate Action Working Group of Belfast Climate Commission (part of the Place-based Climate Action Network https://pcancities.org.uk/) and the Centre for Sustainability\, Equality and Climate Action\, Queen’s University Belfast.

SUMMARY:Brexit\, Citizens’ Assemblies and the future of Democracy in the UK
DESCRIPTION:Event from 6pm\, with lecture starting 6.30pm. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe Brexit process has put the UK’s democratic system under great strain\, pitting competing democratic visions against each other and exposing weaknesses in each. \n\n\nThis special event will examine those weaknesses and consider possible ways of addressing them. Could the 2016 referendum have been designed differently to create a less polarised process? How could the grievances with current politics that the referendum result highlighted be tackled? \nIn particular\, we will examine whether citizens’ assemblies – randomly selected groups of people who meet over several weekends to learn about\, discuss\, and make recommendations on selected issues – could make a difference. The strengths\, and also the limitations\, of this approach will be explored and possible paths forward proposed. \nAbout Dr Alan Renwick \nDr Alan Renwick is Deputy Director of the Constitution Unit at University College London. He led the 2017 UK Citizens’ Assembly on Brexit and in 2019\, with Michela Palese\, published a major report on strengthening democracy\, Doing Democracy Better: How Can Information and Discourse in Election and Referendum Campaigns in the UK Be Improved? Alan is now project lead for the Working Group on Unification Referendums on the Island of Ireland. \nTo register\, please click here.

SUMMARY:Sex work and the law: The implementation of the Nordic Model in N. Ireland
DESCRIPTION:In 2015\, Northern Ireland adopted the ‘Nordic’\, or ‘Criminalisation of the purchase of Sex’ model in regards to sex work. \nThis is a controversial approach to controlling sex work; and is the subject of some debate. Four years after its implementation\, the Department of Justice funded a review of the law. \nAt this event\, the researchers who conducted the review will disseminate their findings. Their presentation will be followed by a Q&A session.

SUMMARY:Climate Jobs and a Just Transition: Responding to our Climate Emergency
DESCRIPTION:As a society we have passed a ‘tipping point’ on addressing the climate and ecological crisis; politicians and decision-makers globally are ‘playing catch up’ with recent mobilisations demanding greater and faster action on our climate crisis. The most recent climate science stresses the scale and urgency of reducing greenhouse emissions. \nIn order to meet the goal of the 2015 Paris Agreement to stay below two degrees warming\, global emissions will have to peak less than a year from now and thereafter reduce by more than seven percent annually. If we want to meet the goal of the 2018 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that is the lower and safer 1.5 degree warming target\, we require ‘far-reaching and unprecedented changes in all aspects of society’ with reductions of between 30-50 percent in global emissions by 2030 in energy\, land use\, transportation and agriculture. We desperately need leadership to meet this challenge.If we are serious about creating a green and sustainable economy\, we need to transition to a green economy though policies such as a Green New Deal and a Just Transition. The trades unions have a vital part to play in this transition and struggle for a more sustainable\, climate resilient and less unequal economy. \nSome questions this conference addresses includes: \nAt this time of growing popular and political acceptance of the scale and urgency of the climate crisis\, do we need a ‘wartime mobilisation’ ? \nAnd does this mean nationalisation of the energy system to deliver a just transition? \nHow doe we ensure that in moving from fossil fuels to renewables\, no community is left behind or that working families bear an unfair burden? \nWhat energy technologies do we need?

SUMMARY:Social enterprises in Northern Ireland: Promoting business for social good
DESCRIPTION:The social enterprise sector is hugely attractive to people wanting to create innovative solutions to local and global problems. \nIn an increasingly globalised world\, there has been a shift from a pure focus on either the private\, public or non-profit sectors. Social enterprises bridge the gap between these sectors\, providing solutions that serve a social purpose\, while achieving financial sustainability. \nThis event considers why social enterprise organisations that set out to meet societal needs through positive social impact are of such high interest to students\, entrepreneurs\, academics and government policy makers. Using examples from practitioners and research studies\, we will consider what makes a sustainable social enterprise. \nThe session will be a dynamic\, informal and very practical event; designed to inspire\, inform and motivate school leavers and members of the general public wanting to understand more about the positive impact businesses can have on society.

The complexity of the climate issues facing our planet can often leave us wondering what we can do\, and where to even begin. ‘Creating our Sustainable Future’ is an interactive workshop which offers participants the opportunity to consider these pressing socio-ecological issues in a hands-on\, stimulating environment. \nOpening with a short quiz\, participants will work together to share their knowledge of the environment and society (eco-prizes are available for winners). Through discussion\, group work\, and engaging with ‘Anna’s Journey’ (a new short play about unsustainability co-written and performed by QUB staff and students)\, participants will discuss climate breakdown and other related environmental degradation and socio-economic inequalities; examining causes\, consequences and alternatives to help us move towards a sustainable future. \nFacilitated by staff and students from across the University\, participants will work in small groups to create a piece of art (visual\, poetry\, storytelling\, etc.) to communicate their vision for a greener\, healthier and sustainable future; using the UN Sustainable Development Goals and pressing environmental and social issues as inspiration. The workshop will conclude with a discussion and refreshments.

SUMMARY:The art of health and well-being
DESCRIPTION:Historically\, the arts have been seen as the remit of the talented few\, with most of us putting down our paintbrushes\, tidying away our dancing shoes and closing our poetry books after we have left school. \nThis event aims to challenge that notion\, showing that not only can everyone engage with the arts\, but that art and creativity can be inherently beneficial to our health and wellbeing. \nWe will showcase the artistic work of both healthcare professionals and people living with chronic illness; who will describe the benefit that the arts have had on their health and wellbeing. \nThe event will include live music performances\, photography and poetry. Additionally\, we will showcase artistic work created by patients during haemodialysis sessions\, produced as part of a research project led by Queen’s University Belfast.

SUMMARY:When aid is not enough: integrating conflict prevention in humanitarian resilience programmes
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the Belfast launch of the Christian Aid/Mitchell Institute report\, “Integrating Conflict Prevention in Humanitarian Resilience Programmes\,” based on preliminary fieldwork conducted in Burundi\, DRC\, South Sudan\, and Myanmar. This research was designed to assess the integration of conflict sensitivity and prevention in humanitarian resilience programmes with the aim of building resilience in conflict settings. \nFindings indicate that conflict analysis can help to enhance the conflict sensitivity of resilience programmes by contributing to understanding of how the conflict context and the resilience\nprogrammes interact. This understanding helps aid organisations\, local partners\, and communities work together to maximise the positive potential of programmes in conflict settings while minimising potential negative outcomes\, especially those that further contribute to conflict. \nFurther information \n  \nThe featured image has been used courtesy of a Creative Commons license.

SUMMARY:The McCosh Lecture Annual Religious Studies Lecture at Queen’s with Baroness Onora O;Neill
DESCRIPTION:Baroness Onora O’Neill will deliver this year’s McCosh Lecture at Queen’s University Belfast on Friday 10 May from 2pm. This is a free event and requires no registration. \nWHAT OUGHT WE DO? \nEthical inquiry in Western traditions traditionally asked what we should do\, and offered accounts of various types of required action or duty. However\, since the early twentieth century concern with duty has often been seen as problematic and rejected. Subsequent normative inquiry has typically addressed narrower questions. A great deal of writing in political and legal philosophy focuses on rights and entitlements\, while construing the rest of ethics as a ‘merely’ personal matter. A great deal of writing in ethics either focuses on subjective conceptions of virtue and preference\, or addresses aspects of ‘applied’ ethics that assume\ninstitutional preconditions. Baroness O’Neill shall argue that this narrowing of horizons is unnecessary and can be reversed. \n  \nPROGRAMME \n2.00 pm   Welcome by Professor David Livingstone (Chair\, Religious Studies Forum) \n2.05 pm   Introduction by Professor Richard English\,(Pro-Vice Chancellor for Internationalisation and Engagement) \n2.10 pm   Lecture – What Ought We Do? \n3.00 pm  Discussion and Open Forum \n3.45 pm   Refreshments

SUMMARY:Judging Carson and Redmond
DESCRIPTION:Queen’s University Belfast\, in partnership with the Royal Irish Academy\, is delighted to welcome Professor Alvin Jackson for this special public debate. \n100 years ago the balance of power in Westminster was held by Northern Irish politicians. John Redmond and Edward Carson remain two of the biggest names in modern Irish history. At the peak of their careers as senior members of the British parliament\, they were locked together in combat over Home Rule. Divided by the union with Britain\, they had surprisingly much in common. Contemporaries saw them together\, and routinely judged them in comparative contexts. \nBut with the partition of Ireland and independence\, they have been disconnected\, viewed wholly apart\, and seen in political contexts scarcely imagined by people at the time. This event is the first to assess them as contemporaries would have done. It uses both new approaches and much new evidence to shed fresh light on their sometimes fraught private lives\, their professional and political achievements\, and their stands on violence and war. The result will be a strikingly original reassessment of the two men and their legacies. \nAbout the Speaker  \nAlvin Jackson is one of the most prominent historians of modern Ireland. He is Richard Lodge Professor of History at the University of Edinburgh\, and has been lecturer in history at University College Dublin and Queen’s University Belfast. He is the author of seven books\, including Judging Redmond and Carson (2018)\, The Two Unions (2013)\, and he has also recently edited the Oxford Handbook of Modern Irish History (2017). Among his awards\, he is an honorary member of the Royal Irish Academy. \n  \nRegistration is not required and seats will be issued on a first come\, first served basis. Refreshments will be served in the Canada Room following the debate.
