Multilingualism in Ireland. Ep1: New to the Parish (with Stephen Lucek and Marion Schulte)

Transition Year students Paul and Anna talk to Protein-I PhD students Aoife Courtney and Conor Copeland about their work.

About Protein-I
Protein-I is an innovative, shared Island, food system approach focusing on diversification of protein production and consumption on the island of Ireland. Our paradigm focuses on the production of plant food through to human health and consumer acceptance, while paying particular attention to the development of the rural economy and supply chain solutions. Protein-I will develop and evaluate crop-based value chains to ensure that rural communities in Ireland benefit in terms of on-farm diversification. We will embrace the circular economy by examining the conversion of crop waste material into value added protein. We will develop a smart supply chain technology solution tailored to the needs of the agri-food industry that supports transparency. Evidence to support the development of Public health policies will be established. Health benefits to support the development of value-added protein products will emerge from the work. Engagement with stakeholders is crucial and built into the work programme to ensure maximum likelihood of uptake of the outputs.

MGA Clinical Influencers

UCD MGA launched its Podcast Series - MGA Clinical Influencers - in 2022.

During this podcast series, graduates give us a trip down memory lane when describing their time at UCD (and on some occasions in other Schools of Medicine) and as junior doctors.

They discuss their stellar careers in their chosen speciailty and highlights and challenges during those careers, how they share their expertise and coach others. On a personal level, they will discuss how they manage a decent work life balance, where that is possible and books for us to enjoy and holiday locations we should be thinking about. Our interviewees have compelling stories to tell that will spark your curiosity about life in the clinical speciality they have chosen and the career path they have travelled.

The third roundtable in our online series for 2024/25 seeks to explore the diverse forms of representation that emerge from and engage with extractivist activities and their underpinning ideologies. We invite speakers from various disciplines to consider forms broadly, including but not limited to novels, poetry, travel writing, memoirs, petitions, photographs, and picture postcards.

The aim is to foster a dialogue that transcends conventional definitions of genres and forms, to think about how extractivism can generate unique forms of representation, and how these forms, in turn, critically engage with the practices and ideologies of extractivism. Additionally, we aim to create a space where speakers and attendees can share the obstacles they have encountered when working with forms that pose linguistic, cultural, or methodological challenges, and to discuss how these challenges shape their interpretations and analyses.

Speakers:

Dr Adelene Buckland, Department of English, King’s College London
Dr Julia Ditter, Department of Literature, Art, and Media Studies, University of Konstanz
Associate Professor Nathan K. Hensley, Department of English, Georgetown University
Associate Professor Charlotte Rogers, Environmental Humanities, University of Virginia

The workshop was chaired by Dr Ge Tang, who is a Postdoctoral Fellow on Minerals.


Minerals Online Roundtable III: Extraction and Forms of Representation

Minerals Online Roundtable IV: Extractivism and Material Histories
Online
Apr 28, 9:00 am–10:30 am

The fourth and final roundtable in our online series for 2024/25 seeks to explore extractivism through the lens of material histories, encouraging expansive thinking about material culture associated with extractive practices and ideas.

Participants are invited to consider a wide array of materials, from extractive tools to architectures, from domestic artefacts to artworks created in mining fields, and from environmental remnants to archival records, etc. This roundtable aims to reveal how material culture can illuminate broader issues related to extractivism, including but not limited to race, gender, and environmental impacts, while also enabling the recovery of lost voices and stories.

Speakers:

Dr Madhavi Jha, Assistant Professor, Birla Institute of Technology & Science, Pilani
Dr Oliver Tappe, Substitute Professor, University of Kontstanz
Dr Nicholas Y. H. Wong, Assistant Professor, University of Hong Kong

The workshop was chaired by Dr Ge Tang, who is a Postdoctoral Fellow on Minerals.
