Recorded December 5th, 2024. A hybrid seminar by Dr Lorraine Grimes (Maynooth University) as part of the Medical and Health Humanities Seminar Series. Bio: Lorraine Grimes is a Postdoctoral Researcher in Applied Social Studies at Maynooth University. Lorraine has a PhD from the National University of Ireland Galway. Her thesis is forthcoming in the form of a monograph with Bloomsbury Academic in 2025 titled ‘Single mothers in Ireland and Britain: Pregnancy, migration and institutionalisation'. Lorraine previously worked with the Digital Repository of Ireland on the Archiving Reproductive Health project which is the subject of this talk. Abstract: Archiving Reproductive Health (ARH) is a Wellcome-funded project coordinated by the Digital Repository of Ireland (DRI), working to preserve digital material created by grassroots organisations working for reproductive justice in Ireland, especially during the 2018 referendum to repeal the Eighth Amendment of the Irish constitution. The project was the first in the world to archive Facebook social media posts. A key part of the project was the archiving of stories posted on a Facebook page called “In Her Shoes”, where people anonymously shared their experiences of being refused abortion care, having to travel or illegally order pills online, and the emotional impact of these experiences. These stories often contained details of traumatic experiences such as sexual assault, obstetric violence and domestic abuse. This talk will introduce the Archiving Reproductive Health Project and archiving sensitive social media material. We will talk about anonymization procedures, coding/cataloguing and developing a self-care protocol and an ethics protocol for the project. Learn more at www.tcd.ie/trinitylongroomhub

This episode features the brilliant Dr. Ann Torres. Dr. Ann is the Head of the Marketing Discipline at the National University of Ireland Galway. Dr. Ann talks about her career, including her education in the US. We talk about the end goals for students at Galway with critical and strategic thinking being the most important skills developed from the courses. Students achieve this by working on real-life case studies of businesses that apply to be part of the university programmes. Dr. Ann wonderfully talks about the development of skills of the students and the cost-effective approaches to programs and technologies available to them. This a different take on the show but one necessary to see how the next generation of marketers is developing their skills. This a brilliant episode for anyone wanting to understand the Irish educational system in marketing and how businesses can get first-hand help from local universities.

Host Dr. Laura Horvath is delighted to have Katie Milazzo and Lucy Matsumoto on the Optimistic Voices Podcast for this two-part episode. Lucy is the new Executive Board President of All for One Foundation, a non-profit organization focused on work with orphans and vulnerable children. Lucy has been involved with nonprofit for more than 35 years and was blessed to have been part of a grassroots movement that changed the paradigm for children with disabilities in the field of play that became an international movement. She was delighted to find All for One and get engaged with their work on behalf of children around the world. Also with us today is Katie Milazzo, Acting Director of the Child Prosperity Centre, an AFO supported program in Sierra Leone. Katie is originally from Illinois in the US, but has worked in Sierra Leone on and off since 2013, most recently returning in 2021 after completing her masters in Humanitarian Law at the National University of Ireland - Galway. Katie focuses her leadership on staff capacity building and community training, ultimately working towards self-sustainability and community growth. All across the world, organizations that have once supported an orphanage, have shifted or are shifting their model of care from residential programs that house children in institutions like orphanages or children's homes; to programs that reintegrate children into family, and strengthen those families so that they can care well for their own children, through case management and family strengthening training. For a lot of us, this has been challenging, but also fairly self-contained. HCW, for example, supported a residential children's home for 16 years in Bo, Sierra Leone, before transitioning to become a reintegration and transition support services center. While that transition was not easy, and was certainly complex, we only had the one site to focus on, which allowed us to move step by step through the transition journey without worrying about other programs or orphanages.What happens, though, when your US-based organization partners with programs in 23 different countries? And to complicate matters further, in some places you support orphanages, in other places you are less directly involved?For Part A of the episode, Katie and Lucy discuss the background and development of the Child Prosperity Centre in Freetown, Sierra Leone, West Africa.All for OneChild Prosperity CentreHelpingchildrenworldwide.org

Aisling Walsh is a queer feminist freelance writer and translator and PhD candidate living in Guatemala City. She is 37 and was diagnosed autistic in December 2021 and is self-diagnosed with ADHD. She was also diagnosed with epilepsy at 23, but now suspects that her seizures might actually be dissociative seizures linked to autistic shutdown. Aisling has spent over seven years working in communications, advocacy and activism with international development organisations, including the UN, in countries including Ireland, Guatemala, Mexico and Bolivia. Her stories, essays and features have been published in many different publications, including The Irish Times. She is currently working towards a PhD in sociology at the National University of Ireland Galway, where she is researching decolonial and feminist practices of healing justice in Guatemala. In our conversation we talk about ➡ The impact of having Covid-19 on her sensory issues ➡ Meltdowns, burnout, and managing our energy and productivity without guilt ➡ Finding her tribe - but also navigating toxic work cultures and bullying ➡ Autism, epilepsy and dissociation I hope you'll enjoy our conversation as much as I did. Disclaimer: In this episode Aisling and I talk about her belief that she may have been misdiagnosed with epilepsy. If you would like more information about autism and seizures, I have added some links to the show notes.

Squarepeg is a podcast in which neurodivergent women, and trans and nonbinary people, explore navigating a neurotypical world and share their insights, challenges and successes. I hope that these conversations will be inspiring and thought provoking, open you up to new ways of thinking about being neurodivergent, and help you feel more connected to a worldwide community of people with similar experiences. I'm Amy Richards, and after being diagnosed autistic at the age of 37 I'm now on a mission to learn more about different perspectives and issues around being a neurodivergent adult in a world that feels like it doesn't quite fit.

Nicholas Canny is an Emeritus Professor at the National University of Ireland-Galway (NUIG). Since completing his PhD at the University of Pennsylvania he has pursued an influential publishing career spanning the early 1970s until today. He is the author or editor of 11 books and has written over 70 published papers. He was founding Director of the Moore Institute for Research in the Humanities and Social Studies at NUIG and served as Director there from 2000-2011 at National University of Ireland Galway. From 2008 to 2011 he was President of the Royal Irish Academy. He has served on the Scientific Council of the European Science Foundation and is a member of the American Philosophical Society. In this interview he discusses his new book Imagining Ireland's Pasts: Early Modern Ireland Through the Centuries (Oxford UP, 2021) through the Centuries which surveys the contradictory ways in which Ireland's different religious, ethnic, and linguistic communities understood the violent events of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Imagining Ireland's Pasts describes how various authors addressed the history of early modern Ireland over four centuries and explains why they could not settle on an agreed narrative. It shows how conflicting interpretations broke frequently along denominational lines, but that authors were also influenced by ethnic, cultural, and political considerations, and by whether they were resident in Ireland or living in exile. The book details how authors extolled the merits of their progenitors, offered hope and guidance to the particular audience they addressed, and disputed opposing narratives. Prof. Canny shows how competing scholars, whether contributing to vernacular histories or empirical studies, became transfixed by the traumatic events of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries as they sought to explain either how stability had finally been achieved, or how the descendants of those who had been wronged might secure redress.

A long time ago, my skills as The Photo Detective helped me identify photographs for press kits and textbooks. Over the years, I've located photos for my own publications and helped countless authors and historians with their image problems too. Today's guest is an experienced genealogist and historian. When she needed help piecing together a photo mystery, she contacted me. I was happy to help. Without her guidance as an editor at Betterway Books (now Family Tree Books), there wouldn't be a Family Photo Detective book written by me.

On the 14th August, 1969, British soldiers took to the streets of Northern Ireland to de-escalate ongoing tensions between Catholics and Protestants. With their arrival came a new glimmer of hope. However, this sentiment did not last long. This podcast explores how the British state wrestled carelessly and negligently with the predicament of how to combat a violent and resilient campaign of domestic insurgency. In doing so, it seeks to demonstrate the vast extent to which the British State intensified, rather than de-escalated, violence and division. A very special thanks to Professor Niall Ó Dochartaigh from the National University of Ireland Galway for his contributions to this podcast.
I enjoyed a lively interview with Irish Cognitive/Social Psychologist, Dr. Christopher Dwyer about critical thinking and cognitive biases. As a Clinical Psychologist, when working with my patients, I often examine irrational thoughts and how they affect the person's perspective on what's going on in their lives. Dr. Dwyer explained how people can easily tend toward cognitive biases that undermine critical thinking. Dr. Dwyer gave examples of several common cognitive biases that affect thinking, and he explained how and why they represent an uncritical approach to one's thinking process. Dr. Christopher Dwyer is a post-doctoral researcher in the School of Health Sciences and Lecturer in the Center for Adult Learning and Professional Development at the National University of Ireland Galway. He is also the author of Critical Thinking: Conceptual Perspectives & Practical Guidelines, published by Cambridge University Press; and writes a blog for Psychology Today called Thoughts on Thinking, which covers the topic area of critical thinking.

Over recent years many countries and organisations have introduced legislation and policies to support whisteblowers, yet the challenges remain. Although a vital function of any organisation, whistleblowing can have significant personal and professional impacts. In this episode we speak to Professor Kate Kenny of NUI Galway about her research into whistleblowing and discuss both the challenges and opportunities. Kate Kenny is Professor of Business and Society at National University of Ireland Galway. She has held research fellowships at the Edmond J. Safra Lab at Harvard University and Cambridge's Judge Business School. Her research focuses on organization studies, specifically political and psychosocial approaches. Kate's recent book ‘Whistleblowing: Toward a New Theory' (Harvard University Press, 2019) examines whistleblowing with a focus on the financial sector. Her book ‘The Whistleblowing Guide' (Wiley, 2019) with Professors Wim Vandekerckhove and Professor Marianna Fotaki is aimed at practicing managers, coaches and others working in this space. Watch a short video on the findings from research into best practice in Speak-Up/ Whistleblowing arrangements, mentioned in the podcast. Short pieces on Covid-19, healthcare and whistleblowing, featured in the The Conversation and RTE Brainstorm Reports, videos and research from Professor Kenny are all on www.whistleblowingimpact.org
Little did we know when we kicked off Brain for Business 12 months ago how the year would turn out. So much has happened, and yet so much of our normal, everyday lives has been prevented from happening by Covid and associated restrictions. To reflect on the past year and everything that has happened in the world of the brain and behavioural sciences we are re-joined by Professor of Experimental Brain Research, Trinity Institute of Neurosciences (TCIN), Professor Shane O'Mara.

When I first began specializing my consulting in the area of data products, Bill was one of the first leaders that I specifically noticed was leveraging design thinking on a regular basis in his work. In this long overdue episode, we dug into some examples of how he’s using it with teams today. Bill sees design as a process of empowering humans to collaborate with one another, and he also shares insights from his new book, “The? Economics of Data, Analytics and Digital Transformation.” In total, we covered: Why it’s crucial to understand a customer’s needs when building a data product and how design helps uncover this. (2:04) How running an “envisioning workshop” with a customer before starting a project can help uncover important information that might otherwise be overlooked. (5:09) How to approach the human/machine interaction when using machine learning and AI to guide customers in making decisions – and why it’s necessary at times to allow a human to override the software. (11:15) How teams that embrace design-thinking can create “organizational improvisation” and drive greater value. (14:49) Bill take on how to properly prioritize use cases (17:40) How toidentify a data product’s problems ahead of time. (21:36) The trait that Bill sees in the best data scientists and design thinkers (25:41) How Bill helps transition the practice of data science from being a focus on analytic outputs to operational and business outcomes. (28:40) Bill’s new book, “The Economics of Data, Analytics, and Digital Transformation.” (31:34) Brian and Bill’s take on the need for organizations to create a technological and cultural environment of continuous learning and adapting if they seek to innovate. (38:22) Quotes from Today’s Episode There’s certainly a UI aspect of design, which is to build products that are more conducive for the user to interact with – products that are more natural, more intuitive … But I also think about design from an empowerment perspective. When I consider design-thinking techniques, I think about how I can empower the wide variety of stakeholders that I need to service with my data science. I’m looking to identify and uncover those variables and metrics that might be better predictors of performance. To me, at the very beginning of the design process, it’s about empowering everybody to have ideas. – Bill (2:25) Envisioning workshops are designed to let people realize that there are people all across the organization who bring very different perspectives to a problem. When you combine those perspectives, you have an illuminating thing. Now let’s be honest: many large organizations don’t do this well at all. And the reason why is not because they’re not smart, it’s because in many cases, senior executives aren’t willing to let go. Design thinking isn’t empowering the senior executives. In many cases, it’s about empowering those frontline employees … If you have a culture where the senior executives have to be the smartest people in the room, design is doomed. – Bill (10:15) Organizational charts

The idea behind regenerative medicine is to enable medicine to use human cells as therapies. This means that instead of using artificial joints and other implants we currently use for healing, we could use cells that would regenerate our own tissues. According to World Economic Forum, the current market for stem cell therapies is growing at 36% per year and will rapidly expand when a breakthrough treatment for non-communicable disease or a lifestyle factor occurs. The research space is vibrant. However, apart from the field of hematology where stem cell transplantation is used for the treatment of leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma, other treatments are not yet routine or necessarily approved. Unfortunately, however, because of the potential and promise of regenerative medicine, over 700 clinics in the US offer expensive stem cell therapy claiming it can heal anything from knee pain, asthma, congestive heart failure, Parkinson’s disease, and more. Let me repeat: these claims are not scientifically proven. Sometimes patients run out of options. Their condition is so serious that they would give anything just to get a chance at survival or quality of life improvement. This is also why stem cell clinics have clients that are willing to pay a lot to see a glimpse of improvement. It can cost them much more than just money. In a comprehensive article, the BBC reported that at least 17 patients were hospitalised over the past year in the US after umbilical cord blood injections. The Centers for Disease Control confirmed a series of bacterial infections. Most of these patients were treated at orthopedic, chiropractor, and pain clinics and were given injections into their spines, knees, and shoulders. Cell therapies are a very broad field, with stem cells just a segment of it. There are a lot of futuristic ideas as to where cell therapy could go. If you remember, in 2019 Israeli researchers presented the first 3D-printed heart with cells and blood vessels. Someday in the future, we will hopefully see 3D printed tissues and organs. To see where we are today, I spoke with prof. Frank Berry - Senior Scientist at the UHN Arthritis Programme at the Krembil Research Institute and Professor of Cellular Therapy at the Regenerative Medicine Institute (REMEDI), National University of Ireland Galway.

In this captivating book, neuroscientist Shane O’Mara invites us to marvel at the benefits walking confers on our bodies and brains, and to appreciate the advantages of this uniquely human skill. From walking’s evolutionary origins, traced back millions of years to life forms on the ocean floor, to new findings from cutting-edge research, he reveals how the brain and nervous system give us the ability to balance, weave through a crowded city, and run our “inner GPS” system. Walking is good for our muscles and posture; it helps to protect and repair organs, and can slow or turn back the aging of our brains. With our minds in motion we think more creatively, our mood improves, and stress levels fall. Walking together to achieve a shared purpose is also a social glue that has contributed to our survival as a species. As our lives become increasingly sedentary, O’Mara makes the case that we must start walking again—whether it’s up a mountain, down to the park, or simply to school and work. In Praise of Walking illuminates the joys, health benefits, and mechanics of walking, and reminds us to get out of our chairs and discover a happier, healthier, more creative self. Shane O’Mara is the principal investigator in the Trinity College Institute of Neuroscience, where his research explores the brain systems supporting learning, memory, and cognition, and the brain systems affected by stress and depression. He has published over 140 peer-reviewed papers. He is a graduate of the National University of Ireland – Galway, and University of Oxford; was elected both as a Fellow of the Association for Psychological Science and Member of the Royal Irish Academy.

W. Brian Arthur is an economist and complexity thinker. He is best known for his work on network effects locking markets in to the domination of a single player. He is also one of the pioneers of the science of complexity—the science of how patterns and structures self-organize. He is a member of the Founders Society of the Santa Fe Institute and in 1988 ran its first research program. He has served on SFI's Science Board for 18 years and its Board of Trustees for 10 years, and is currently External Professor at SFI. Arthur held the Morrison Chair of Economics and Population Studies at Stanford from 1983 to 1996. He has degrees in operations research, economics, mathematics, and electrical engineering. Arthur is a well-known keynote speaker. Research Brian Arthur is known for 3 main sets of ideas: Increasing returns. In the 1980s Arthur developed a way for economics to understand how increasing returns or positive feedbacks (e.g. network effects) operate in the economy — in particular how they can magnify small, random events and act to lock in dominant players. This work has gone on to become important to our understanding of the high-tech economy. Complexity economics. In the late 1980s, Arthur led a group at the Santa Fe Institute to develop an alternative approach to economics—"complexity economics." Standard economics is based on the idea of super-rational actors operating in a static equilibrium world; complexity economics assumes actors in the economy do not necessarily face well-defined problems or use super-rationality. They explore, try to make sense, react and re-react to the outcomes they together create. The economy is not in stasis but always forming, always "discovering" fresh novelty. In this non-equilibrium view of the economy, bubbles and crashes can happen, markets can be "gamed" or exploited, and history and institutions matter. How technology evolves. In 2009, Arthur published The Nature of Technology: What it Is and How it Evolves. The book argues that technology, like biological life, evolves from earlier forms. But the main mechanism isn't Darwin's, it is the combining of earlier technologies—earlier forms. The book explores in detail how innovation works. And it argues that economy isn't just a container for its technologies; the economy emerges from its technologies. Awards Arthur was awarded the inaugural Lagrange Prize in Complexity Science in 2008, and the Schumpeter Prize in Economics in 1990. He is a Guggenheim Fellow, 1987-88, Fellow of the Econometric Society, and IBM Faculty Fellow. He holds honorary doctorates from the National Univ. of Ireland (Galway) 2000, and Lancaster University (UK) 2009. Checkout my Newsletter Connect with us!

Companies across the world think they’re effectively anonymising data about people, but what if someone could reidentify who these people are? Discover the risks and learn about the ODI’s plans to help organisations mitigate those risks. Anonymisation is a set of tools, algorithms and best practices to remove personal information from a dataset while maintaining as much of the data’s utility as possible. In this lecture, Fionntán O’Donnell, the ODI’s Senior Data Technologist, will talk about how to take your data through the anonymisation process in this important, wide-ranging, yet nuanced, subject. In the ODI we believe data should be as open as possible. However, we also believe people who handle that data should do so in a responsible manner. Stewards of data must balance the good of opening and sharing data while handling the risk in sensitive data about people being exposed. About the speaker Fionntán O’Donnell is a Senior Data Technologist and researches how best to use artificial intelligence (AI) and data in fair, accountable and transparent ways. He’s been knocking about researching AI for over a decade now. Initially at the National University of Ireland Galway looking at the semantic web. Then he headed off to Ghent University to study deep learning back before it was even called deep learning. Then to Dublin in the ADAPT Centre, developing machine-learning prototypes in the innovation team. After that he got the boat to London where he worked for the BBC, designing machine-learning systems for News Labs and investigating what AI should mean for a public service broadcaster. He’s called a data technologist because his work is in the intersection between software engineering, research, design, and communication. It can be an odd intersection at times but he’s happy to be there.

This paper analyses Breandán Ó hEithir's use of music in constructing and reconstructing community throughout his novel Lead Us Into Temptation (Lig Sinn I gCathú, 1976/1978). It also explores the role that music plays in memory, political affiliation and expression, and communitas within both the text and wider Irish society during the middle of the twentieth century. Musical participation is an important aspect of collectivity and communitas. It is a public articulation of adherence to community values, and carries with it culturally encoded understandings of cultural and political (dis)affiliation. While music is a kind of social mortar, as Ó Laoire (2005) observes it also exists as a “veiled discourse, which may at once uphold the social system at the very moment it criticizes it”. Ó hEithir’s novel deals with lingering issues of affiliation and disaffiliation, and points out the problematic nature of the nation through the eyes of a fictional town closely modelled on Galway. One of the preoccupations of the text is the competition between voices surrounding the declaration of the Irish Republic in Easter Week 1949, which is presented in the text as unifying and divisive in alternate measures. In Lead Us Into Temptation, music brings simmering tensions to the surface and shatters a tenuous sense of unity coloured by ambivalence and occlusion. This is encapsulated by snatches of music leading to a climactic cacophony of competing musical voices in the commemorative parade, during which ironically the louder the voice is, the less it is truly heard. Chris is a first year PhD candidate in English at the National University of Ireland Galway. His current research analyses the role of music as a device for the creation of social hierarchy within Irish prose literature of the twentieth century. His research interests are in word and music studies, and the coalescence of visual and aural art forms in prose literature. He completed his MA, entitled Singing Exile: Music in Irish Emigration Literature, at The University of Notre Dame Fremantle in Western Australia in early 2017.
Dr. Irene Whelan has taught at Manhattanville College since 1990. A native of County Galway on Ireland’s west coast, she was educated at the National University of Ireland - Galway and the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she studied with James S. Donnelly Jr., a leading historian of modern Ireland. Her dissertation on the evangelical movement in Ireland was published as The Bible War in Ireland: The ‘Second Reformation’ and the Polarization of Protestant-Catholic Relations, 1780-1840 in 2005. Her scholarly focus is on the intersection of religious and political history at the local, as well as the global level. She is currently engaged in co-editing a volume of essays, Landscape of Promise and Ruin: Culture, Identity and Reality in the Irish West, 1830-1930, as well a book-length study of the concept of an Irish ‘spiritual empire’ in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Sugar molecules could act as a smoke screen for multiple myeloma cells, essentially hiding them from the immune system. The surface sugars, called sialic acids, can mark the cancer cells as “self” cells, giving the immune system the signal to ignore them. Dr. Michael O'Dwyer is Director of the Blood Cancer Network Ireland and Professor of Hematology at the National University of Ireland Galway. Dr. O'Dwyer has expertise in the glycosylation process as it relates to multiple myeloma. The glycosylation process (or the reaction when carbohydrates is attached to other molecules) is a process that produces DNA, RNA and proteins. This normal process is altered in multiple myeloma and could cause changes in cell signaling, adhesion and drug resistance. In this show we will explore how this affects multiple myeloma, if food intake is related to the presence of sugar molecules and how it is tested for in myeloma. In 2015, Dr. O'Dwyer received a Clinician Scientist Award worth €1.7m from the Health Research Board to establish a translational research programme in multiple myeloma at NUI Galway. This helped lead to the Blood Cancer Network, Ireland, a Science Foundation Ireland/Irish Cancer Society funded network focusing on delivery of early phase clinical trials to blood cancer patients along with establishment of a biobank and registry.

The Launch of 'Trinity in War and Revolution 1912-1923' was preceded by an expert panel discussion in the Printing House, Trinity College Dublin, at 6.30pm on Monday December 7th 2015. This book situates the history of Trinity College Dublin within the great upheavals and changes that were taking place in Ireland and the wider world in the transformative period between 1912 and 1923. The period saw Trinity and its environs profoundly changed. The book uses Trinity as a way of exploring some of the central themes and tensions of these years, themes that are usually examined separately: Irish involvement in the First World War; the Easter Rising of 1916; the violent struggle for Irish independence; the end of the Civil War; and the establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922. It views these events through the prism of the university's development, arguing that these contexts cannot be divorced from one another. Trinity was at the centre— physically, intellectually, symbolically—of these seismic events in local, national and international history, and each had a great impact upon the institution and its development in the twentieth century. Speakers: Ciaran Brady (chair), Professor of Early Modern History and Historiography, Trinity College Dublin Eunan O'Halpin, Professor of Contemporary Irish History, Trinity College Dublin Ronan Fanning, Professor of Modern History, University College Dublin Dr Tomás Irish (author), lecturer in Modern History, Swansea University Dr Catriona Crowe, National Archives of Ireland Dr Anne Dolan, Associate Professor in Modern Irish History, Trinity College Dublin Dr Caitriona Clear, lecturer in Modern History, National University of Ireland Galway

Dubarry’s shoe factory in Ballinasloe, Co. Galway was set up in 1937. Shoemakers were brought in from Leicester in the U.K. to work at the new factory. The widow of a shoemaker who moved to Ireland to work in Dubarry’s recalls the difficulties of immigration. She was careful to not discuss politics or religion with locals. (First Broadcast 1991)
