SUMMARY:Lecture by Fintan O'Toole — “Uneasy Peace: The Good Friday Agreement 25 Years On”
DESCRIPTION:Visiting Leonard L. Milberg ’52 Professor in Irish Letter Fintan O’Toole delivers the Robert Fagles Memorial Lecture\, “Uneasy Peace: The Good Friday Agreement 25 Years On.” \nIn his lecture\, O’Toole examines Ireland since the Good Friday Agreement\, which was signed on April 10\, 1998. The Good Friday Agreement\, also known as the Belfast Agreement\, was a political deal designed to bring an end to 30 years of violent conflict in Northern Ireland\, known as the Troubles. The agreement established three “strands” of administrative relationships: the creation of the Northern Ireland Assembly\, an elected assembly responsible for local matters; an arrangement for cross-border cooperation between the governments of Ireland and Northern Ireland; and continued consultation between the British and Irish governments. Over the past 25 years\, the deal has touched on every aspect of life in Northern Ireland. \nO’Toole will explore the success of the deal\, not just in ending the conflict\, but in radically reimagining “the Irish question.” He will suggest that it contains the seeds of a much more open and pluralist sense of identity—one that has been undermined by Brexit and the difficulties it creates for Northern Ireland. He will consider whether the promise of a more fluid sense of belonging can be sustained in the coming years. \nO’Toole’s books on politics include the recent best sellers We Don’t Know Ourselves: A Personal History of Modern Ireland and Heroic Failure: Brexit and the Politics of Pain. His books on theater include works on William Shakespeare\, George Bernard Shaw\, Richard Brinsley Sheridan\, and Thomas Murphy. He regularly contributes to The New York Review of Books\, The New Yorker\, Granta\, The Guardian\, The Observer\, and other international publications. In 2011\, The Observer named O’Toole one of “Britain’s top 300 intellectuals.” He has received the A.T. Cross Award for Supreme Contribution to Irish Journalism\, the Millennium Social Inclusion Award\, Journalist of the Year in 2010\, the Orwell Prize\, and the European Press Prize. O’Toole’s History of Ireland in 100 Objects\, which covers 100 highly charged artifacts from the last 10\,000 years\, is currently the basis for Ireland’s postage stamps. He has recently been appointed official biographer of Nobel Prize-winning poet Seamus Heaney. \nAbout Fintan O’Toole\nPhoto by Ben Russell\nFintan O’Toole\, one of Ireland’s leading public intellectuals\, is a columnist for The Irish Times and Leonard L.

SUMMARY:Screening of Documentary Lyra and Discussion with Director Alison Millar
DESCRIPTION:Critically acclaimed filmmaker Alison Millar screens her 2021 award-winning documentary film\, Lyra\, an emotive\, intimate portrait of the life and death of Belfast journalist Lyra Mckee\, who was murdered by the New IRA the day before Good Friday\, April 2019. The film seeks answers to her senseless killing through Lyra’s own work and words. Lyra runs approximately 90 minutes and will be followed by a 30-minute discussion with Millar moderated by Fintan O’Toole\, Visiting Leonard L. Milberg ’53 Professor in Irish Letters and Chair of the Fund for Irish Studies. \n\nPart of the spring 2023 Fund for Irish Studies lecture series. \n\n\nAbout the film Lyra\nLyra tells the story of McKee’s tragic death by a stray bullet during New IRA riots in Derry\, Northern Ireland. Attending a riot in the Creggan estate near where she lived\, McKee had been reporting events as they unfolded via Twitter\, even in the final moments before she was shot in the head. Her death caused outrage throughout Ireland and beyond\, and Millar recalls\, “The whole of Ireland came to a standstill when she was killed.” The powerful film\, which is narrated by McKee’s own voice\, conveys with heart-wrenching irony that the determined young journalist became a victim of the very violence she wrote about in the hopes of reaching a new generation with the truth of affairs in post-conflict Ireland. \nMillar\, a colleague and close friend of McKee\, was approached by the McKee family following her death to create a film that would share the story of the inspiring young journalist with the wider world. Using McKee’s own interview tape recordings along with audio rescued from voice notes\, mobile phone recordings\, and home videos\, Millar and her team pieced together a film that historically places McKee’s death while powerfully fleshing out the passion\, curiosity and ambition that characterized her life and work. \nSince its release\, the documentary has won numerous awards including the Audience Award at the 2022 Cork International Film Festival\, the Tim Hetherington Award at the 2022 Sheffield Doc Festival\, the Gryphon Award GEX Doc at Italy’s Giffoni Film Festival\, and Best Feature Documentary at Achill Island Film Festival. \n\nAbout Alison Millar\n\n \nPhoto by Jess Lowe \n\nMillar is a critically acclaimed filmmaker with a reputation for making emotionally compelling films. She began her producing and directing career at the National Film and Television School in the U.K. in the mid 1990s. Since then\, she has produced over 40 films for British and Irish television and has won a BAFTA\, IFTA\, Prix Italia and numerous other awards. In 2010 Millar founded Erica Starling Productions\, an independent documentary production company based in Belfast. In addition to Lyra\, her other award-winning documentary features or series include Lee Miller — A Life on the Frontline; Arena: The Changin’ Times of Ike White; The Disappeared; Leonora Carrington: The Lost Surrealist; Searching for Shergar; Dispatches: Kids in Crisis; Love and Death in City Hall; the series Find Me a Family; and The World: The Shame of the Catholic Church. \nTickets & Details\nThe event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Lecture by Dr. Geraldine Parsons — "The Quiet Girls of Early Ireland: Women in Medieval Irish Literature"
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Geraldine Parsons\, Senior Lecturer in Celtic and Gaelic and Head of Subject at the University of Glasgow\, Scotland\, lectures on “The Quiet Girls of Early Ireland: Women in Medieval Irish Literature.” \nFinn Cycle\, or fiannaíocht\, literature was the most enduringly popular branch of Irish-language literature from the early Middle Ages until recent times. It prioritizes the exploration of male perspectives and experiences: its tales and poems present two different timelines united by the prominence of men. One is the hyper-masculine warrior culture of ancient Ireland; the other is populated by the male ecclesiastics\, warriors and kings of Christian Ireland’s medieval Golden Age. The afterlives of these texts too suggest an enduring appeal among audiences typically gendered male: the oldest surviving manuscript to contain only this corpus of work was commissioned in the 1620s\, by an Irish captain in the Spanish army\, and written by male scribes. An association between this literature and Irish military culture\, as well as the tradition of soldiery among Scottish Highlanders\, continues today. Parsons’ talk will seek to complicate the gender history of the Finn Cycle\, by recovering women’s roles in its production and in the narratives themselves. \nPhoto courtesy Geraldine Parsons\nDr. Geraldine Parsons is Senior Lecturer in Celtic and Gaelic and Head of Subject at the University of Glasgow\, Scotland. Her research focuses on medieval Irish literature\, with a particular interest in the material concerning the legendary hero Finn mac Cumaill (later Fionn Mac Cumhaill/McCool) that formed the most popular branch of Irish-language literature from about the twelfth century down to recent times. Her work is often concerned with the great text at the heart of this corpus\, Acallam na Senórach (‘The Colloquy of the Ancients’)\, composed c.1225; this is the subject of a monograph currently in progress. Other interests include the reception of medieval Irish literature in modern Ireland and eighteenth-century Scottish Gaelic reflexes of the fíanaigecht tradition. Her recent publications include The Gaelic Finn Tradition II (editors S.J. Arbuthnot\, G. Parsons & S. Ní Mhurchú\, Four Courts\, 2022); the article “Ancient Ireland” in The Oxford Handbook of W.B. Yeats (editors L. Arrington and M. Campbell\, Oxford University Press\, 2023); and an article co-authored with M. Mac Craith\, “Reformation\, Conquest and Exile 1534–1611 | An Reifirméisean\, an Concas Eilíseach agus Deoraíocht thar lear 1534–1611” in Bone and Marrow/Cnámh agus Smior: An Anthology of Irish Poetry from Medieval to Modern (editors B. Ó Conchubhair and S. Fisher\, Wake Forest University Press\, 2022). Parsons has held visiting fellowships and professorships at Balliol College\, the University of Connecticut\, and Oxford. She is the recipient of a 2022-23 British Academy Mid-Career Fellowship. \nIntroduced by Visiting Leonard L.

SUMMARY:“Low the sun; short its course”: Tracing the Celtic ritual cycle through music\, manuscript and performance
DESCRIPTION:This lecture-recital by Helen Phelan\, Professor of Arts Practice at the Irish World Academy of Music and Dance\, University of Limerick\, Ireland\, explores the musical and ritualistic evidence for the emergence and continuity of the Celtic ritual cycle\, with a focus on the rituals of Imbolc and Samhain\, a precursor of Halloween. \nRitual traditions are frequently transmitted through a combination of sanctioned and sanctified “official’ sources\, as well as the songs\, stories and performances of living communities. The emergence of an agrarian ritual cycle in Ireland\, punctuated by four quarter days\, is strongly associated with the traditions and practices of the Iron Age Celts\, but its roots and shoots can be located in much earlier and later historical periods. \nThis presentation traces the evidence for this ritual cycle in both medieval manuscript sources as well as folkloric traditions. Focusing on music (particularly medieval Irish chant) and story (including the hagiographies or lives of the saints)\, it suggests a dynamic\, syncretic understanding of ritual\, moving fluidly between prehistoric\, pre-Christian and Celtic Christian practices. It concludes with a proposal concerning the influence of this ritual tradition on contemporary ritual creativity. \nAbout Helen Phelan\nPhoto courtesy Helen Phelan\nHelen Phelan is Professor of Arts Practice at the Irish World Academy of Music and Dance\, University of Limerick\, Ireland. Her research focuses on the relationship between music\, ritual\, and migration. She is an Irish Research Council recipient for her work on singing and the rituals of new migrant communities in Ireland and is founder and co-chair of the Singing and Social Inclusion research group at University of Limerick. Her most recent research\, funded by the Health Research Institute\, brings together an interdisciplinary research team to explore singing\, health and well-being with culturally diverse communities. Her recent publications include the monograph Singing the Rite to Belong: Music\, Ritual and the New Irish (Oxford University Press) and The Artist and Academia (Routledge)\, co-edited with Graham Welch. \n  \nTickets & Details\nThe event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Lecture by Susan McKay on “From Triumphalism to Desperation — the Fall of Ulster Unionism”
DESCRIPTION:Photo by Derek Speirs\nJournalist Susan McKay discusses her new book\, Northern Protestants – On Shifting Ground (Blackstaff Press 2021)\, which is a collection of almost 100 interviews with politicians\, community workers\, religious leaders\, former paramilitary members\, young people\, business people\, and other citizens of Northern Ireland from County Antrim to the city of Londonderry\, McKay’s hometown. In this follow-up to her book Northern Protestants: An Unsettled People\, first published 21 years ago\, McKay shares that in 2021 unionists in Ireland attempted to celebrate the centenary of Northern Ireland and then in 2022 they collapsed its government. Political unionism is hardening into a nostalgia for the sectarian state that the Good Friday Agreement dismantled\, but McKay’s book explores the surprising diversity of thought among people from a Protestant background who are impatient with narrowness\, open to new ideas\, and welcoming of the potential for political change. Northern Protestants — On Shifting Ground was described by the Observer as “a fascinating and constantly thought-provoking book” and The Irish Times said it was “vital reading in all senses of the word.” \nMcKay’s journalism has appeared in The New Yorker\, The New York Times\, London Review of Books\, the Guardian/Observer and The Irish Times. McKay is currently writer-in-residence with Sligo Libraries\, working on a project about the legacies of the partition of Ireland in the North West. She is also writing a book about borders for which she received an Arts Council of Northern Ireland major individual award. \nTickets & Details\nThis event will take place in-person (please note the change from past virtual lectures) and is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Lecture by Fintan O'Toole on "Open Secrets: Ulysses at 100"
DESCRIPTION:Photo courtesy Fintan O’Toole\nFintan O’Toole\, Princeton University’s Visiting Leonard L. Milberg ’53 Professor in Irish Letters\, delivers the annual Robert Fagles Memorial Lecture on “Open Secrets: Ulysses at 100″ as part of the 2021-22 Fund for Irish Studies lecture series. \nJames Joyce’s revolutionary novel Ulysses was published 100 years ago in February 1922. In its initial review of the book\, The New York Times declared Ulysses “the most important contribution that has been made to fictional literature in the twentieth century.” Through a stream of consciousness writing style\, Joyce follows Stephen Dedalus\, a 22-year-old aspiring poet and teacher\, and Leopold Bloom\, a 38-year-old Jewish advertising agent\, as they go about nineteen hours of daily life in Dublin\, Ireland. Both men grapple with themes of religion\, philosophy\, remorse\, and mortality. In his lecture\, O’Toole asks why the book still matters today. It is\, he suggests\, one of the best explorations we have of the way the local is also universal; of the fluidity of identity; of the fusion of body and mind; and of the possibility of living beyond tragedy. \nFintan O’Toole\, one of Ireland’s leading public intellectuals\, is a columnist for The Irish Times and Leonard L. Milberg ’53 visiting lecturer in Irish Letters at Princeton. He also contributes to The New York Review of Books\, The New Yorker\, Granta\, The Guardian\, The Observer\, and other international publications. His books on theater include works on William Shakespeare\, Richard Brinsley Sheridan\, and Thomas Murphy. His books on politics include the best sellers Ship of Fools and Enough is Enough. In 2011\, The Observer named O’Toole one of “Britain’s top 300 intellectuals.” He has received the A.T. Cross Award for Supreme Contribution to Irish Journalism\, the Millennium Social Inclusion Award\, and Journalist of the Year in 2010\, the Orwell Prize and the European Press Prize. O’Toole’s History of Ireland in 100 Objects\, which covers 100 highly charged artifacts from the last 10\,000 years\, is currently the basis for Ireland’s postage stamps. His most recent book is Judging Shaw: The Radicalism of GBS\, published by the Royal Irish Academy\, and he has recently been appointed official biographer of Nobel Prize-winning poet Seamus Heaney.   \nTickets & Details\nThe virtual lecture\, presented via Zoom Webinar\, is free and open to the public; registration required.

SUMMARY:Lecture by Poet James Longenbach on W.B. Yeats
DESCRIPTION:Photo by Adam Fenster\nPrinceton University’s Fund for Irish Studies presents a lecture by James Longenbach on W.B. Yeats and his poem “Nineteen Hundred and Nineteen” on Friday\, January 28\, the 83rd anniversary of Yeats’ death\, at 4:30 p.m. via Zoom Webinar. Princeton’s Howard G.B. Clark ’21 University Professor in the Humanities and Co-chair of the Fund for Irish Studies Paul Muldoon will provide a welcome and introduction. The event is part of the 2021-2022 lecture series\, which will continue virtually for the next few events. \nLongenbach will give an account of William Butler Yeats’ (1865-1939) poem\, discussing how it assumed its shape\, and\, more importantly\, the influence of that shape on subsequent long poems written throughout the 20th century. Yeats won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1923. “Nineteen Hundred and Nineteen” was part of his first collection of poems published after the Nobel Prize: The Tower (1928). The Tower contains other long poems that contemplate the state of politics in Ireland during the Irish War of Independence\, the mortality of man\, and the temporariness of the world\, such as “Sailing to Byzantium\,” “Meditations in Time of Civil War\,” and “The Tower.” Like many of the poems in the collection\, “Nineteen Hundred and Nineteen” is divided into six parts of unequal length with differing meters and rhyme schemes in each part. Titled after and written about the first year of the Irish War of Independence\, the poem grasps at the idealism and nostalgia for “law”\, “habits”\, and “public opinion” destroyed by war and violence. \nLongenbach\, a poet and literary critic who received his Ph.D. from Princeton University\, is the Joseph Henry Gilmore Professor of English at the University of Rochester\, where he teaches courses on modern and contemporary American poetry\, British and American modernism\, James Joyce\, Shakespeare\, and creative writing. His most recent poetry collections include Forever (W.W. Norton\, 2021) and The Lyric Now (University of Chicago\, 2020). Longenbach has received awards from the American Academy of Arts and Letters and was a Guggenheim Fellow and a Mellon Fellow. \nTickets & Details\nPlease note that this first event of the spring series will remain virtual via Zoom webinar.  \nThe virtual lecture is free and open to the public; registration required.

SUMMARY:Lecture by Cian T. McMahon
DESCRIPTION:Cian T. McMahon\, Associate Professor in the Department of History and Honors College at the University of Nevada\, Las Vegas\, lectures on “The Coffin Ship: Life and Death at Sea during the Great Famine” with introduction by Paul Muldoon\, Princeton’s Howard G.B. Clark ’21 University Professor in the Humanities and Co-chair of the Fund for Irish Studies\, as part of the 2021-22 Fund for Irish Studies lecture series. \nMcMahon will discuss his new book\, The Coffin Ship (NYU Press\, 2021)\, which analyzes letters and diaries of Irish immigrants who fled Ireland during the Great Famine. The Great Irish Famine occurred from 1845 to 1855 as a result of a potato blight that destroyed the Lumper potato crop\, robbing more than one-third of the Irish population of its most substantial means of sustenance. According to RTE News\, the national news and public broadcaster in Ireland\, over a million people died due to the extensive food shortage and subsequent epidemics\, and a further 1.25 million people fled Ireland\, with over 900\,000 Irish immigrants arriving in New York City alone. For McMahon\, the standard story of Ireland’s Great Famine exodus is one of tired clichés\, half-truths\, and dry statistics. The Coffin Ship focuses on the journey across the Atlantic\, an oft-ignored but vital component of the migration experience. His transnational history examines the dynamic social networks and connections to the worldwide Irish diaspora that the emigrants built while voyaging overseas. In his book\, McMahon makes an argument for placing the sailing ship alongside the tenement and the factory floor as a central\, dynamic element of Irish migration history. \nCian T. McMahon is an associate professor in the Department of History and Honors College at the University of Nevada\, Las Vegas\, where he teaches courses focusing on society and culture in modern Ireland\, immigration and identity in American history\, and great migrations in human history. His first book\, The Global Dimensions of Irish Identity: Race\, Nation\, and the Popular Press\, 1840-1880 (University of North Carolina Press\, 2015)\, won honorable mention for the Donald Murphy Prize for Distinguished First Book from the American Conference of Irish Studies. He is a member of the American Conference for Irish Studies\, the Immigration & Ethnic History Society\, and the American Historical Association. \nJoin the Event\nThis virtual event is free and open to the public. Register for the lecture and join via Zoom Webinar. \nNOTE: A recording will not be available to share with the public following the event. \nAccessibility\nThe event includes live closed captions in English.

DESCRIPTION:Scholar Tara Guissin-Stubbs\, Associate Professor in English Literature and Director of Studies in English Literature and Creative Writing at Oxford University\, lectures on “Symbols from Within\, and Symbols from Without: The Celtic Revival and the Harlem Renaissance” as part of Princeton University’s 2020-21 Fund for Irish Studies series. \nThis talk considers James Weldon Johnson’s assertion in his Preface to The Book of American Negro Poetry (1922) that the black poet needs to find ‘symbols from within rather than symbols from without’ in order to find a suitable form; in so doing\, Johnson contends\, the poet will be doing ‘something like what Synge did for the Irish’. It will discuss overlaps between the Celtic Revival and the Harlem Renaissance\, to try to understand just what Johnson meant\, and what this means for us now. \nPhoto courtesy Tara Guissin-Stubbs\nGuissin-Stubbs is an associate professor in English literature\, and director of studies in English literature and creative writing at Oxford University’s Department for Continuing Education\, and dean of Kellogg College\, Oxford. She is the author of a range of publications on Irish and American literature\, poetry\, and transatlantic culture\, including American Literature and Irish Culture\, 1910–1955: The Politics of Enchantment (2012); Navigating the Transnational in Modern American Literature and Culture with Doug Haynes (2017); and her most recent monograph\, The Modern Irish Sonnet: Revision and Rebellion (2020). She is also the book reviews editor for the open access journal International Yeats Studies and a senior fellow of the Rothermere American Institute\, Oxford. Her next book project will build on her public engagement work on poetry and structure\, which discovers analogies for poetry within nature and visual art to find new ways of thinking about poetry\, and to break down some of its mystique. \nJOIN THE EVENT\nThis virtual event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Screening of Filmed Version of Happy Days by Samuel Beckett
DESCRIPTION:“The situation is one of the strangest in the whole history of theatre.”\n—Katherine Worth\, scholar \n Something has occurred. And now Winnie can’t leave—can’t see anyone—can’t move—is perpetually stuck. There is little to do but brush her teeth and maintain hope. \n \nWatch the trailer for HAPPY DAYS by Samuel Beckett from wildprojectTV. \n Samuel Beckett’s Happy Days (One of the most unforgettable plays in the modern canon” — The New York Times) is the ultimate emblem of perseverance. In the iconic playwright’s lifelong pursuit to illuminate consciousness on stage\, Beckett devised Winnie: a tour de force of charm and grit\, helplessly buried up to her waist in the ground. She endures the wearisome humdrum of endless\, interchangeable days. And now\, speaking to an audience who has faced a year of quarantine\, the play endures too. \nTo commemorate the play’s 60th anniversary\, New York’s the wild project and director Nico Krell are revitalizing this mammoth\, mysterious work. In an exception allowed only during the global pandemic\, the performance will be recorded and broadcast online\, delicately translated to the screen by a team of artists working on the cutting edge of digital theatre. \nKrell is a Princeton alumnus\, Class of 2018\, and the production features alumni Tessa Albertson\, Class of 2020\, as Winnie\, and Jake Austin Robertson\, Class of 2015\, as her husband Willie. Alumni Jules Peiperl is costume designer and Stanley Mathabane is sound designer\, both members of the Class of 2017. \nPresented by The Wild Project in the East Village\, New York City\, in association with Princeton University’s Fund for Irish Studies. The Wild Project\, a nonprofit theater company and venue\, was founded in 2007 to support the diverse independent theater\, film\, music\, visual arts and spoken-word artists of New York City. The organization has presented and produced theater that seeks to enrich\, educate\, and unify its East Village community in an environmentally responsible green space\, devoting specific initiatives to supporting LGBTQ+ artists and projects and those of people of color.  \nBeckett (1906 –1989) was an Irish novelist\, playwright\, short story writer\, theater director\, poet\, and literary translator. His idiosyncratic work offers a bleak\, tragi-comic outlook on existence and experience\, often coupled with dark comedy. Beckett is considered one of the last modernist writers and one of the key figures of the “theater of the absurd.” He is perhaps best-known for his 1953 play\, Waiting for Godot. In 1969 he received the Nobel Prize for Literature. \nJOIN THE EVENT\nThis virtual event is free and open to the public. The film will be preceded by an introduction with director Krell and Princeton Professor and Fund for Irish Studies Chair Paul Muldoon. The event will take place on Zoom Webinar; advance registration required. \nREGISTER FOR THE EVENT \nThis event is recorded for archival purposes only and will not be available for viewing after the event. \nACCESSIBILITY\nThe film will be closed captioned and the introduction will be live captioned in English. If you are in need of other other access accommodations in order to participate in this event\, please contact the Lewis Center at 609-258-5262 or email LewisCenter@princeton.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of the event date. \n

SUMMARY:Robert Fagles Memorial Lecture by Fintan O'Toole
DESCRIPTION:Photo courtesy Fintan O’Toole\nScholar and critic Fintan O’Toole delivers the annual Robert Fagles Memorial Lecture on “A Century of Partition” as part of Princeton University’s 2020-21 Fund for Irish Studies series. O’Toole\, one of Ireland’s leading public intellectuals\, is a columnist for The Irish Times and Leonard L. Milberg ’53 visiting lecturer in Irish Letters at Princeton. \nIn 1921\, Ireland was divided by the formation of Northern Ireland as a new political entity in the Protestant-dominated northeastern part of the island. This led to the creation of two sectarian states\, each dominated by a single religious culture. The production by the revolutionary James Connolly that partition would create “a carnival of reaction” on both sides of the Border was not far wrong. The Troubles of 1968-1998 served merely to deepen the divide. But Brexit has raised new questions about the future of the UK and therefore of Partition. The contradictions that were frozen in 1921 have emerged anew in 2021. \nFintan O’Toole\, one of Ireland’s leading public intellectuals\, is a columnist for The Irish Times and Leonard L. Milberg ’53 visiting lecturer in Irish Letters at Princeton. He also contributes to The New York Review of Books\, The New Yorker\, Granta\, The Guardian\, The Observer\, and other international publications. His books on theater include works on William Shakespeare\, Richard Brinsley Sheridan\, and Thomas Murphy. His books on politics include the best sellers Ship of Fools\, Enough is Enough and The Politics of Pain: Postwar England and the Rise of Nationalism. In 2011\, The Observer named O’Toole one of “Britain’s top 300 intellectuals.” He has received the A.T. Cross Award for Supreme Contribution to Irish Journalism\, the Millennium Social Inclusion Award\, and Journalist of the Year in 2010\, the Orwell Prize and the European Press Prize. O’Toole’s History of Ireland in 100 Objects\, which covers 100 highly charged artifacts from the last 10\,000 years\, is currently the basis for Ireland’s postage stamps. His most recent book is Judging Shaw: The Radicalism of GBS\, published by the Royal Irish Academy\, and he is the official biographer of Nobel Prize-winning poet Seamus Heaney. \nJOIN THE EVENT\nThis virtual event is free and open to the public.

Of his time in Ireland\, Douglass reported that for the first time in his life he felt like a man\, and not a chattel. He became a spokesperson for the abolition movement during his Irish tour\, but by the time he left the country in early January 1846\, he believed that the cause of the enslaved was the cause of the oppressed everywhere. \nJOIN THE EVENT\nThis virtual event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:“The Making of The Hunger"
DESCRIPTION:Donnacha M. Dennehy (composer) and Iarla Ó Lionáird (singer) discuss the creation of their new music-theater piece on the Famine in Ireland. Introduced by Lecturer in Theater  Michael Cadden\, the event is cosponsored by Princeton University’s Department of Music. \nThe Hunger premiered in 2016 starring O’Lionáird at BAM Next Wave Festival. It is based on diaries and personal accounts from the period of the Great Famine in Ireland (1845-52). A departure from conventions in which the ensemble is concealed in the orchestra pit\, the work integrates the players with the action and storytelling taking place on stage. The production includes video of present-day thinkers who consider the conditions that led to the famine and their implications for inequality in our own time. \nThe Great Famine was a time of major upheaval\, the historical significance of which is well documented. At least one million people died and yet another million emigrated. Less well-recorded are accounts of those who directly witnessed and suffered through the famine. At the heart of Dennehy’s The Hunger are personal\, contemporaneous stories that introduce new dimensions in the tragedy of the famine. The Hunger also addresses the complex issues of governance and economic policy by complementing these personal\, historical voices with video interviews of contemporary economists and political philosophers\, such as Noam Chomsky and Paul Krugman. The piece not only recounts history as it happened\, but also addresses the current socioeconomic problems of the recent global economic crisis. \nComposer Donnacha Dennehy. Photo courtesy of the artist.\nDennehy is a professor of music at Princeton. His music has been featured in festivals and venues around the world\, such as the Edinburgh International Festival\, Royal Opera House London\, Carnegie Hall New York\, The Barbican London\, The Wigmore Hall London\, BAM New York\, Tanglewood Festival\, Holland Festival\, Kennedy Center\, Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival in the UK\, Dublin Theatre Festival\, ISCM World Music Days\, Bang On A Can\, Ultima Festival in Oslo\, Musica Viva Lisbon\, the Saarbrucken Festival\, and the Schleswig-Holstein Festival. He has received commissions from Dawn Upshaw\, the Kronos Quartet\, Alarm Will Sound\, Bang On A Can\, Third Coast Percussion\, Icebreaker (London)\, the Doric String Quartet (London)\, Contact (Toronto)\, Lucilin (Luxembourg)\, Orkest de Ereprijs (Netherlands)\, Fidelio Trio\, Percussion Group of the Hague\, RTE National Symphony Orchestra\, the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra\, BBC Ulster Orchestra and the San Francisco Contemporary Music Players\, among others. Collaborations include pieces with the writers Colm Tóibín (The Dark Places) and Enda Walsh (including the opera The Last Hotel\, and a forthcoming opera The Second Violinist)\, the choreographers Yoshiko Chuma and Shobana Jeyasingh\, and the visual artist John Gerrard.  Dennehy founded Crash Ensemble\, Ireland’s now-renowned new music group\, in 1997. Alongside the singers Dawn Upshaw and Iarla O’Lionáird\, Crash Ensemble features on the 2011 Nonesuch release of Dennehy’s music\, entitled Grá agus Bás.  NPR named it one of its “50 favorite albums’’ (in any genre) of 2011. He joined the music faculty at Princeton in 2014. \nSinger Iarla Ó Lionáird. Photo courtesy of the artist.\nÓ Lionáird is a global scholar at Princeton in the Department of Music and Irish Studies and in 2016 was a Belknap Teaching Fellow in the Council of the Humanities. He has carved a long and unique career in music in Ireland.

In addition to Dennehy\, he has worked with a stellar cast of composers internationally\, including Nico Muhly\, Dan Trueman\, Gavin Bryars and David Lang\, and he has performed and recorded with such luminaries as Peter Gabriel\, Robert Plant\, Nick Cave and Sinead O’Connor. His unique singing style has carried him to stages and concert halls all over the world\, from New York’s Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center to the Sydney Opera House\, London’s Royal Albert Hall and beyond. His film credits include The Gangs of New York\, Hotel Rwanda\, and most recently as featured vocalist in the film Calvary starring Brendan Gleeson and the film adaptation of Colm Tóibín’s Brooklyn starring Saoirse Ronan. \nOn September 17\, Princeton Sound Kitchen\, the University’s lab for new music by composition faculty and staff\, will present a program of new works including a concert version of The Hunger performed by Ó Lionáird\, soprano Katherine Manley\, and the ensemble Alarm Will Sound. The concert\, at 8:00 p.m. at Richardson Auditorium\, is free and open to the public\, however advance tickets are recommended (available at https://music.princeton.edu/events/alarm-will-sound.) \nThe Fund for Irish Studies is generously sponsored by the Durkin Family Trust and the James J.
