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.

SUMMARY:Creating our sustainable future
DESCRIPTION:Climate breakdown is one of the biggest issues facing our socio-ecological world. 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:Growing a healthy society- The role of food
DESCRIPTION:Queen’s University Belfast and Oxford Farming Conference are co-hosting a discourse on food\, nutrition and impact on human health. \nThe Institute for Global Food Security\, in partnership with the Oxford Farming Conference\, invite you to attend the inaugural Grand Challenge Debate. This lecture is being organised in advance of the 2020 Oxford Farming Conference (7-9 January) which has selected “Growing a Healthy Society” as it’s key theme. The 2020 theme is all about strengthening the relationship between the population\, the land and the people who produce the nation’s food.

SUMMARY:June 2019 Brexit Clinic

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:Imagine: The UK's Future Relationship with the EU
DESCRIPTION:As the date for the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union draws ever closer\, EU leaders have agreed the political declaration that sets out the broad aspirations for the kind of relationship the UK and the EU envisage having after Brexit. But what will this so-called ambitious\, broad\, deep and flexible partnership actually look like? And how will it and more immediately UK withdrawal from the EU impact on the many areas of collaboration that have been built up over 45 years of UK membership of the EU? \nJoin us at Queen’s University Belfast on Wednesday 27 March from 1pm as academics from across the University share their thoughts on the ever-shifting dynamics of Brexit and its impact on key areas. Whether your interest is in human rights or public health\, borders or business\, this is a great opportunity to hear from\, and engage with senior researchers and academics from Queen’s as they discuss what has been called the greatest constitutional challenge the UK has faced in generations and explore “what next?” with Brexit. \nThis special event will take place from 1pm-5pm on Wednesday 27 March in the Canada Room and Council Chamber at Queen’s University Belfast and is part of the Imagine Belfast Festival of Ideas and Politics 2019. \nFurther information on the Festival can be found at imaginebelfast.com

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.

SUMMARY:The Purpose of Universities Today - Public Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: \nProfessor Shane O’Neill \nShane O’Neill is a Visiting Research Professor at the Senator George J. Mitchell Institute for Global Peace\, Security and Justice at Queen’s University Belfast. He is a political philosopher and critical social theorist who worked at Queen’s from 1994 to 2016. He served for an extended term on the University Executive\, as Dean of the Faculty of Arts\, Humanities and Social Sciences\, and he was instrumental in establishing the Institute. Since 2016 he has been Professor of Political Theory at Keele University in England\, where he also serves as Pro Vice-Chancellor for Planning and Advancement and Executive Dean of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. \nAbout the Lecture \nPublic debates about the role of universities have tended to be polarised in recent years. On the one hand neo-liberal views present universities as institutions with a singular focus\, which is to compete with each other by demonstrating how effective they are at equipping students or research partners to succeed in market society. On the other hand\, traditional accounts of the intrinsic value of university education and research that have challenged such neo-liberal thinking can often appear to be either nostalgic or elitist. We need to reconstruct the purpose of the university today by moving beyond this unhelpful debate. The argument presented here suggests that the most fruitful way to do this is to present universities as instruments of social freedom. \nTea and coffee will be served in the Canada Room from 5.00pm. \nThe lecture will take place in the Council Chamber at 5.30pm.

SUMMARY:History counts: Using numbers to understand the past
DESCRIPTION:Ever wondered how data can shine a light on the past? Data is a very important part of studying history. For example\, the UK census has been collected every 10 years since 1801\, and reading it can tell us a huge amount about what life was like a hundred years ago. It can tell us how many people lived in different places\, what jobs they did\, how long they lived for and how cramped their houses were. \nThis workshop aims to introduce A-level history students to economics-based approaches to studying history\, and show them how quantitative historical data can be used to shine a light on historical debates. \nThe event will consist of a one-day workshop divided into three sessions. The first session will introduce students to the field of economic history\, and explain how it can improve our understanding of the past. The second session will talk about the power of numbers\, and how data can be used to investigate historical phenomena and long-term trends. After lunch\, the third session will focus on the economic history research conducted at Queen’s University Centre for Economic History (QUCEH). Academics will talk to students about their own research\, and encourage them to comment and ask questions. \nThis event is for young people\, schools and colleges and is invitation only.
