18 Marye’s Heights, 1863, after the Confederates withdrew ‘Ireland’s Biggest War’ St Mary’s University College, Tues 7th Aug, 1pm Speaker – John Lynch. 620,000 lost their lives in the American Civil War which saw 175,000 Irish fight in the Federal army and navy, and 30-40,000 for the Confederacy. There were over 40 Irish-born generals in this war. Why did they enlist? John Lynch is a historian and freelance writer and author of several books including ‘Belfast Built Ships’. ‘Voices From Behind The Wire’ - The Loyalists’ Experience St Mary’s University College, Tues 7th Aug, 2.30pm In the 1970s, the earliest and bloodiest years of the conflict, loyalists and republicans had political (special category) status in the Cages/Compounds of Long Kesh. Former loyalist prisoners reject apolitical stereotyping of their organisations and highlight the political processes they were engaged in, which were rooted in reflecting on their actions and their subsequent incarceration. In the 1990s, their role in and subsequent support for the ceasefires and the ‘Good Friday Agreement’ records a narrative which offers a legacy that is transformative in its telling. The first phase of an ongoing archive, this event aims to dispel the loyalist stereotype with a positive counter-perspective and also demolishes the romanticism often associated with being a former prisoner. In association with Coiste na n-Iarchimí. ‘An Cogadh Éireannach ba Mhó’ Coláiste Ollscoile Naomh Muire, Dé Máirt 7 Lúnasa, 1i.n. Aoichainteoir – John Lynch. Fuair 620,000 duine bás i gCogadh Cathartha Mheiriceá inar throid 175,000 Éireannach san arm agus sa chabhlach Feidearálach agus 30-40,000 san arm agus sa chabhlach Chónaidhmeach. Bhí breis agus 40 ginearál sa chogadh seo a rugadh in Éirinn. Cén fáth ar liostáil siad? Is staraí, saorscríbhneoir agus údar roinnt leabhar é John Lynch, ‘Belfast Built Ships’ ina measc. ‘Guthanna ó Chúl an Bhalla Sreinge’ – Eispéaras na nDílseoirí Coláiste Ollscoile Naomh Muire, Dé Máirt 7 Lúnasa, 2.30i.n. Sna 1970í, na blianta ba luaithe agus ab fhuiltí sa choimhlint, bhí stádas polaitiúil (catagóir speisialta) ag dílseoirí agus poblachtánaigh sna Caighin/Bábhúin den Cheis Fhada. Diúltaíonn iarchimí dílseora an steiréitíopáil neamhpholaitiúil ar a n-eagraíochtaí agus cuireann siad béim ar na próisis pholaitiúla ina raibh siad páirteach a bhí fréamhaithe sa mhachnamh ar a ngníomhaíochtaí agus ar a bpríosúnacht ina dhaidh sin. Insítear scéal faoi na 1990í ar a ról agus a dtacaíocht ina dhiaidh sin do na sosanna cogaidh agus do ‘Comhaontú Aoine an Chéasta’ as a dtagann oidhreacht atá athraitheach. Mar an chéad chéim de chartlann leanúnach, déanfaidh an ócáid seo iarracht an steiréitíopa dílseora a chaitheamh i dtraipisí le frithpheirspictíocht dhearfach agus scriosann sé an rómánsaíocht bainteach go minic le bheith i d’iarchime. I gcomhar le Coiste na n-Iarchimí.

Doreen Lawrence The PJ McGrory Human Rights Lecture St Mary’s University College, Tues 7th Aug, 7.30pm “Had the police done their job properly, I would have spent the last 18 years grieving for my son rather than fighting to get his killers to court.” The words of Doreen Lawrence whose son Stephen was murdered in an unprovoked racist attack in 1993. He was a teenager, good at art and maths and dreamed of becoming an architect. Doreen Lawrence, Stephen’s mother, tells the story of her long fight for justice against the most powerful institutions in Britain, the police, the criminal justice system and the government, during which she exposed institutional racism and wrought wide ranging legal and social changes. On 3rd January 2012, two men were finally convicted for the racist murder of Stephen. In memory of her son, Doreen established the Stephen Lawrence Trust to combat social injustice, by promoting equality of opportunity, good race relations and the elimination of racial discrimination. www.stephenlawrence.org.uk Chair - Gearóid Ó hEára, Vice Chair Policing Board. ‘Movement of the People’ St Mary’s University College, Wed 8th Aug, 2pm West Against Racism Network (WARN) releases its recent research, discusses the issues facing members of Ethnic Minority communities residing in West Belfast, and makes a number of important recommendations for change.

Simultaneously, changes in many national welfare systems are creating new groups of food vulnerable and food poor. Ironically, the same people who are hungry are also those who are overweight. This is the new face of food poverty in the 21st century. Atógáil Sráid Bombay Halla Paróiste Naomh Oilibhéar Pluincéid, Corrán Ghleann Bheithe, Léana Dúin, Dé Máirt 7 Lúnasa, 7i.n.
