SUMMARY:Regina Ui Chollatain: “A ‘New’ Gaelic League Idea: Douglas Hyde 100 Years On”
DESCRIPTION:On Friday\, April 10\, Irish and Celtic studies scholar Regina Uí Chollatáin will present a lecture on “A ‘New’ Gaelic League Idea: Douglas Hyde 100 Years On” at 4:30 p.m. in the James M. Stewart ’32 Theater at 185 Nassau Street. The lecture\, part of the Fund for Irish Studies series at Princeton University\, is free and open to the public. \nRegina Uí Chollatáin is a native of Donegal who began her career in education as a primary teacher in schools in Donegal\, Laois\, and Ceatharlach. She is now a senior lecturer at University College Dublin on the Revival period\, modern Irish literature\, and contemporary Irish writing and critical theory\, with a focus on Irish language journalism\, print and broadcast media\, and film studies. She also serves as the Vice Principal Director of the Graduate School. She is the author of four books\, including An Claidheamh Soluis agus Fáinne an Lae 1899-1932 (2004) and Iriseoirí Pinn na Gaeilge (2008). In 2003\, Chollatáin was awarded the National University of Ireland Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Léann na Gaeilge/an Léann Ceilteach\, and was appointed Ireland Canada University Foundation Senior Visiting Professor 2011-12. She was a national tutor for Organising In-Service Training for Language and Technology in Education\, a project for which she won the European Label Award for Innovation in Language Teaching and Learning in 2004. She was also awarded the Lil Nic Dhonncha Prize and the Dhonncha Sullivan Medal in 1999\, 2001\, and 2002. She was the recipient in 2008 of the Oireachtas award for journalistic criticism for the Gaelic column in Iriseoirí Pinn na Gaeilge. \nDouglas Hyde\, the subject of Chollatáin’s lecture\, was a scholar of the Irish language who served as the first president of Ireland from 1938 to 1945. He was a leading figure in the Gaelic revival and first president of the Gaelic League\, one of the most influential cultural organizations in Ireland at the time. He dedicated his life to preserving the native Irish language\, and his contributions to the cause of Irish language\, history\, music\, and literature led W.B. Yeats to proclaim him the source of the Irish literary renaissance that continues to this day.

SUMMARY:Poulomi Saha: “Easter Risings: The Irish Insurrection in India”
DESCRIPTION:Scholar Poulomi Saha will give a lecture on “Easter Risings: The Irish Insurrection in India” on Friday\, April 17\, at 4:30 p.m. in the James M. Stewart ’32 Theater at 185 Nassau Street. The talk is part of a series presented by Princeton University’s Fund for Irish Studies. The event is free and open to the public. \nPoulomi Saha is Assistant Professor of English at the University of California\, Berkeley\, where she teaches courses in postcolonial studies\, gender and sexuality theory\, and ethnic American literature. Her research and teaching spans eastward and forward from the late 19th century decline of British colonial rule in the Indian Ocean through to the Pacific and the rise of American global power and domestic race relations in the 20th century. Her focus is in developing an expansive view of empire and what constitutes Anglophone literature\, routed not primarily through Great Britain and Western Europe\, but rather through circuits of affiliation and encounter between Asia and the Americas. \nShe is currently completing her first monograph\, Imperial Attachments: Gender\, Nation\, and the Sciences of Subjectivity in Colonial and Postcolonial Bengal\, an interdisciplinary study that examines East Bengal from the late 19th century to the contemporary moment\, in which she fundamentally challenges the narrative of political modernity offered by postcolonial studies. Her work as been published in differences and The Journal of Modern Literature. Saha earned her B.A. in International Relations and English from Mount Holyoke College and her Ph.D. in English from the University of Pennsylvania. \nHer lecture\, based on her current research\, will examine the Bengali uprisings of 1930\, which were inspired by the Irish Republican Army’s Easter Rising rebellion of 1916\, an act that sparked movements in other regions of the world to overthrow British colonial rule. \nThe Fund for Irish Studies\, chaired by Princeton professor and Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Paul Muldoon\, affords all Princeton students\, and the community at large\, a wider and deeper sense of the languages\, literatures\, drama\, visual arts\, history\, politics and economics not only of Ireland but of “Ireland in the world.” \nThe final event in this season’s Fund for Irish Studies series is a concert of traditional Irish songs by Ghost Trio\, cosponsored with Princeton’s Department of Music\, on May 1.
