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. OFC 2020 will challenge delegates to look not just at how they can strengthen the health of their businesses and their soil but also how they can develop their own physical\, mental and professional resilience. \nThis joint event will focus on “Food\, diet and health”\, seeking to highlight the impact of a sub-optimal diet on non-communicable disease mortality and morbidity and opportunity to connect agriculture\, food\, diet to improve health outcomes. \nThe keynote lecture will be delivered by Professor Nita Gandhi Forouhi\, a physician and academic\, specialising in nutrition and epidemiology. She is Professor of Population Health and Nutrition at the University of Cambridge\, the programme leader of the nutritional epidemiology programme of its MRC Epidemiology Unit\, and an honorary consultant public health physician with Public Health England. \nThe event will commence at 17:00 with a welcome reception. The event will be hosted at Queen’s University Belfast in the magnificent Great Hall. \nInterest is expected to be high so early registration is recommended.

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.

SUMMARY:Where are the ethics in business?
DESCRIPTION:The news is full of examples of businesses behaving badly. Construction giant Carillion built up huge debts\, Cambridge Analytica hoovered up personal data without consent\, and Facebook and Apple have dodged taxes. Reading about these scandals may well make you ask the question: Can a business ever be ethical? Does succeeding in business mean ‘survival of the fittest’ and making a profit at any cost? \nThis interactive workshop will explore what ethics can and does mean in a business environment. What is the relationship between ethics\, integrity\, trust\, and business sustainability and competitiveness? Drawing on local\, national and international examples of both best practice and very poor behaviour\, this interactive workshop will explore these themes. There will be short interactive lectures\, group discussions\, mini-case studies and videos. The workshop will conclude with an analysis of the role and purpose of ethics in business\, and how businesses can ‘do well by doing good’. \nThis event is for young people\, schools and colleges and is invitation only.

SUMMARY:Corporate social responsibility: A force for good
DESCRIPTION:Consumers consider more than just the quality of goods and services when choosing a brand. Many people also want to know that the company they are buying from is ethical\, and take into account the social\, human\, economic and environmental impact of their business. In fact\, some will even turn their back on their favourite companies if they believe they’re not taking a stand on societal and environmental issues. \nThis workshop looks at the issue of corporate social responsibility (CSR)\, which is a way for companies to take responsibility for the social and environmental impacts of their business operations. The workshop will in particular explore the relationship between a business’s social responsibility and an individual’s personal responsibility. For example\, if we want businesses to be a force for good\, then we need to have a clearer understanding of the impact and influence of business leaders in shaping their organisation’s role in society. \nAt the session a panel of senior managers and business leaders will talk briefly about both corporate and personal responsibility. After this there will be a small group exercise relating to the panel discussion. The session will conclude with a question and answer session. \nThis event is for young people\, schools and colleges and is invitation only.
