This book provides an overview of Irish gender history from the end
of the Great Famine in 1852 until the foundation of the Irish Free
State in 1922. It builds on the work that scholars of women's
history pioneered and brings together internationally regarded
experts to offer a synthesis of the current historiography and
existing debates within the field. The authors place emphasis on
highlighting new and exciting sources, methodologies, and suggested
areas for future research. They address a variety of critical
themes such as the family, reproduction and sexuality, the medical
and prison systems, masculinities and femininities, institutions,
charity, the missions, migration, 'elite women', and the
involvement of women in the Irish nationalist/revolutionary period.
Envisioned to be both thematic and chronological, the book provides
insight into the comparative, transnational, and connected
histories of Ireland, India, and the British empire. An important
contribution to the study of Irish gender history, the volume
offers opportunities for students and researchers to learn from the
methods and historiography of Irish studies. It will be useful for
scholars and teachers of history, gender studies, colonialism,
post-colonialism, European history, Irish history, Irish studies,
and political history. The Open Access version of this book,

Persons with disabilities report high levels of harassment
worldwide, often based on intersectional characteristics such as
race, gender and age. However, while #MeToo and #BlackLivesMatter
have highlighted ongoing experiences of sexual and racial
harassment, disability harassment has received little attention.
This book focuses on legal measures to combat disability harassment
at work. It sets disability harassment in its international
context, including its human rights framework, and confronts the
lack of empirical information by evaluating the Irish legal
framework in practice. It explores the capacity of the law to
address intersectional harassment, particularly that faced by women
with disabilities, and outlines the barriers to effective legal
solutions.
Social and emotional learning is at the heart of good teaching, but
as standards and testing requirements consume classroom time and
divert teachers' focus, these critical skills often get side lined.
In Sharing the Blue Crayon, Mary Anne Buckley shows teachers how to
incorporate social and emotional learning into a busy day and then
extend these skills to literacy lessons for young children. Through
simple activities such as read-alouds, sing-alongs, murals, and
performances, students learn how to get along in a group, empathize
with others, develop self-control, and give and receive feedback,
all while becoming confident readers and writers.
From music written in praise of Irish, Scottish, Welsh, and English
saints to the selection of Gospel readings by the Dominicans, this
book introduces readers to the richness of medieval liturgical
culture from across Britain and Ireland. Each of its three main
sections opens with a chapter that offers a contextual frame for
its key themes. With contributions from leading experts in
pre-Reformation music and its sources, the book's focus on Insular
liturgy - rather than that of only one part of Britain or Ireland -
allows readers to learn about the devotional, political and
creative networks at play in shaping liturgical practices:
personal, secular, monastic, lay, and professional. The opening
part includes broader discussions of Uses, including that of
Salisbury, and case studies explore Insular witnesses to devotional
activities in honour of both local cults and widely known figures,
including St Columba, St Margaret, St Katherine, and the Magi.
This volume of essays explores the multiple forms and functions of
reading and writing in nineteenth-century Ireland. This century saw
a dramatic transition in literacy levels and in the education and
language practices of the Irish population, yet the processes and
full significance of these transitions remains critically under
explored. This book traces how understandings of literacy and
language shaped national and transnational discourses of cultural
identity, and the different reading communities produced by
questions of language, religion, status, education and audience.
Essays are gathered under four main areas of analysis: Literacy and
Bilingualism; Periodicals and their readers; Translation,
transmission and transnational literacies; Visual literacies.
Through these sections, the authors offer a range of understandings
of the ways in which Irish readers and writers interpreted and
communicated their worlds. List of contributors: Rebecca Anne Barr,
Sarah-Anne Buckley, Muireann O'Cinneide, Niall O Ciosain, Maire Nic
an Bhaird, Liam Mac Mathuna, James Quinn, Nicola Morris, Elizabeth
Tilley, Darragh Gannon, Florry O'Driscoll, Michele Milan, Nessa
Cronin and Stephanie Rains.
In Munich in 1920, just after the end of the First World War,
German officers who had been prisoners of war in England published
a book they had written and smuggled back to Germany. Through vivid
text and illustrations they describe in detail their experience of
life in captivity in a camp at Skipton in Yorkshire. Their work,
now translated into English for the first time, gives us a unique
insight into their feelings about the war, their captors and their
longing to go home. In their own words they record the conditions,
the daily routines, the food, their relationship with the prison
authorities, their activities and entertainments, and their
thoughts of their homeland. The challenges and privations they
faced are part of their story, as is the community they created
within the confines of the camp. The whole gamut of their existence
is portrayed here, in particular through their drawings and
cartoons which are reproduced alongside the translation. German
Prisoners of the Great War offers us a direct inside of view a
hitherto neglected aspect of the wartime experience a century ago.

Just as Brainard's interests and scholarship crossed several
disciplines, the essays collected here acknowledge her range of
influence and her inclusive spirit. Performative dance and dance
history, social history, and musicological issues are all explored,
touching on topics from the later Renaissance back through the
Carolingian Empire. The interconnected themes are presented in
three sections: first creating the repertory, by looking at the
contexts of musical creation; then interpreting it, through the
performance, meaning, and social identity of dances; and finally
discussing potential reevaluations, based on the location of
musical performances, aspects of transcription difficulties and
compositional techniques, dance-historical scrutiny, and a
comparison of a shared genre in music and dance.
Recent debates surrounding children in State care, parental rights,
and abuse in Ireland's industrial schools, concern issues that are
rooted in the historical record. By examining the social problems
addressed by philanthropists and child protection workers from the
nineteenth century, we can begin to understand more about the
treatment of children and the family today. In Ireland, the
National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC)
was the principle organisation involved in investigating families
and protecting children. The 'cruelty men', as NSPCC inspectors
were known, acted as child protection workers and 'children's
police'. This book looks at their history as well as the history of
Ireland's industrial schools, poverty in Irish families, changing
ideas around childhood and parenthood and the lives of children in
Ireland from 1838 to 1970. It is a history filled with stories of
real families, families often at the mercy of the State, the
Catholic Church and voluntary organisations. It is a must-read for
all with an interest in the Irish family and Irish childhood past
and present. -- .

In this fascinating and informative book, Margaret Maclagan and
Anne Buckley - two specialists in children's language development -
explain the subtle and extraordinary process in which children
learn to talk and the very important role that parents and
grandparents can play. Combining a comprehensive understanding of
speech development with fascinating scientific facts - did you know
that babies cry with an accent? - 'Talking Baby' offers numerous
practical suggestions and real-life examples of how parents can
best help their children to learn to talk. The authors also provide
many ideas for 'talking' topics, as well as ways to use the
everyday things in life to encourage children's comprehension and
speech. Drawing on their combined 40 years' experience, the authors
also address some of the more commonly asked questions by parents
such as: * Why is it that my child can imitate a word accurately
but continues to use the wrong pronunciation in his speech? * Do
second and other children talk later than first children? * My
18-month-old child isn't saying anything. Should I be worried? * Is
it better to use grown-up language to talk to young children than
'baby talk'? * How early can I start reading to my child? * English
isn't my first language. How can I help my children to speak it
well? * My child is repeating words a lot, especially when excited
- does this mean she's stuttering?
