Public Lecture Series 14-15
Fri, 17 Oct 2014 10:08:00 BST
The University’s Institute for Research in Citizenship and Applied Human Sciences (IRCAHS) has announced its programme for its third Public Lecture Series, which, as in previous years, will cover a broad range of subjects over six separate lectures.
IRCAHS strongly believes in sharing its research with the wider community, as much as possible, and following on from the success of the past two series, the 2014-15 lectures will ensure this continues.
Professor John Playle, Dean of the School of Human and Health Sciences commented, “We are looking forward to holding another series of engaging and interesting lectures as it provides an opportunity to learn about some of the exciting research being undertaken within the Institute”.
The series will provide an exciting opportunity to learn about some of the research being undertaken within the Institute. The lectures are free and open to all and will cover a range of topics including child protection, Irish politics, children’s participation in research, decision making and development processes, humanitarian nursing, housing design and crime and sexuality and human rights.
This year, a number of these lectures will also be the inaugural lecture for new Professors who have recently joined us, or those recently promoted to Professor. We are also pleased to be supporting Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice, a local charity that supports children and their families with life shortening conditions.
All of the lectures will be held on the University campus. They are free, open to all and commence in November 2014 with the launch of Professor Nigel Parton’s book The Politics of Child Protection: Contemporary Developments and Future Directions, published by Palgrave/Macmillan in March 2014.

We are looking forward to welcoming you as part of this series of engaging and exciting lectures.
