SUMMARY:Roxanne O'Connell\, Ph.D.\, "Your Granny's Gramophone: The Cultural Impact of early recording technology on Irish Music"
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]The music that is broadly defined as Irish has developed in tandem with the media technologies of the past 100 years. From the wax cylinder to the iPod\, technology has had a dramatic impact on the preservation\, transmission and transformation of music in general and of Irish music in particular\, a genre whose roots lie deep in non-technical oral traditions. This talk examines the role the gramophone played during the first half of the twentieth century as Irish music traveled back and forth across the Atlantic. Dr. Roxanne O’Connell investigates the patterns that emerged based on information gleaned from interviews with Irish and Irish American families and musicians and an analysis of their collections of 78s. \nROXANNE O’CONNELL\, Ph.D. is associate professor and Chair of the Department of Communication at Roger Williams University teaching visual communication and digital media. Her professional life has fallen into two areas: visual media and music. As a teacher and publishing consultant with more than 20 years of experience in design\, e-commerce\, and marketing\, she specializes in information design\, audience research and Web site usability. Media research interests include traditional and digital media\, perception and visual rhetoric. A musician since age 12\, she has performed with her husband Robbie O’Connell on stages large and small\, from coffeehouses to international music festivals\, in village pubs and on outdoor stages. Before she started teaching at university\, she had recorded backup vocals on five CDs. She now uses what she knows about media and sound to teach her students how to create multimodal digital narratives. Her dissertation\, “The Golden Age of Irish Music: The cultural impact of 78 rpm recordings in Ireland and Irish America” examines the role media has played in the creation\, transmission\, transformation\, preservation and reclamation of Irish music. She is currently assembling interviews and stories collected in her research for a book. We welcome Doctor O’Connell for this\, her first speaking engagement with the Museum. \n[/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Marian Mathison Desrosiers\, Ph.D.\, "Remembering the Famine: The McGlinchey of Inishowen and Cambridge\, MA"
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]After the defeat of O’Donnell and O’Neil\, many of the McGlinchey clan escaped to Donegal in the North\, in the early 1600s. Professor Desrosiers’ Irish ancestors\, Eliza McGowan and Patrick McGlinchey\, lived in Meentaghcallagh near Buncrana in the remote Inishowen Peninsula. When Patrick lost his life in a quarry accident\, Eliza found a way to sail to America with her brothers and her five children. She traveled in the Famine Exodus from Moville to Liverpool and on to Boston Harbor. There she was welcomed by a cousin\, Reverend Manasses Dougherty (Doherty) of St. Peter’s in Cambridge. Professor Desrosiers will share the importance of Faith and education for the next generations of McGlinchey’s: engaging in the Civil War and Gold Rush; settling the Kansas Prairie and creating their own Boston businesses; and graduating from Radcliffe (Harvard) followed by serving both secular and religious roles in their communities. The McGlinchey were ancestors of longtime Newporter\, Genevieve McGlinchey Mathison. From oral history to Hearth Roll taxes\, from the Boston Pilot to state archives\, we will explore the emergence of an American family who never forgot their roots in Ireland. \nMARIAN MATHISON DESROSIERS is an independent scholar and Adjunct Professor of History and Humanities at Salve Regina University\, where she earned her Ph.D. She is an executive board member of the National Council for Social Studies and a two-time Fulbright Scholar. Dr. Desrosiers has researched and written on 19th century Irish immigration\, women in positions of leadership during wartime and in the judiciary\, among other topics. The subject of Dr. Desrosiers’ doctoral dissertation was Justice Florence Kerins Murray\, the topic of her last lecture for the Museum\, in November 2010. We welcome her back for this second speaking engagement. \n[/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Kurt C. Schlichting\, Ph.D. "The Irish in Newport: A Detailed Examination of the 1880 Census"
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]The complete 1880 U.S. Census illustrates the patterns of Irish settlement in Newport. Because the Census allows us to map Irish immigrants to their individual street addresses\, it reveals residential concentrations. Professor Schlichting will identify the emerging Irish neighborhoods of 1880 and his analysis of the census data will provide new insight into “chain migration” from Ireland\, occupations\, and family composition. \nKURT C. SCHLICHTING is the E. Gerald Corrigan ’63 Chair in Humanities & Social Sciences Department a Professor of Sociology at Fairfield University (CT). He is the author of Grand Central Terminal: Railroads\, Architecture and Engineering in New York (Johns Hopkins U. Press\, 2001)\, for which he received the 2002 Best Professional/ Scholarly Book: Architecture & Urbanism Award from the Association of American Publishers. This book was the basis of “Grand Central\,” an American Experience documentary on PBS\, for which Dr. Schlichting served as an academic advisor and was an on-screen interviewee. His next book\, Grand Central’s Engineer: William J. Wilgus and the Planning of Modern Manhattan\, will be published by Johns Hopkins this spring. He is founder and director of the Fairfield County Research Center which involves Fairfield U. faculty and students in research projects for local government and non-profit organizations. Dr. Schlichting received his bachelor’s degree from Fairfield University in 1970 and his master’s degree and a doctorate from New York University. \n[/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:John F. Quinn\, Ph.D.\, "The Irish in Gilded Age Newport"
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]Gilded Age Newport is well-known for its summer colonists and for the “cottages” that they built. However\, less attention has been paid to the city’s year-round residents\, at least one-third of whom were Irish. For Irish Newporter’s\, this was a time of increasing visibility and influence. They were becoming prominent in local politics and in civic and religious organizations and a few of them even owned estates on Bellevue Avenue and Ocean Drive. \nJOHN F. QUINN received his Ph.D. in history from Notre Dame. He has been professor of history with Salve Regina since 1992 and is History Department Chair. A prolific writer\, Dr. Quinn is the author of numerous articles\, as well as the book Father Mathew’s Crusade: Temperance in Nineteenth Century Ireland and Irish-America (U. of Mass. Press\, 2002). His interests include Irish America\, Modern Ireland\, and American Religion and Ethnicity. He is an expert on Irish and Irish-American attitudes towards slavery in the 19th Century. Dr. Quinn’s professional memberships include American Catholic Historical Association\, American Conference on Irish Studies\, Irish American Cultural Institute\, and Society of Catholic Social Scientists. This is Dr. Quinn’s fourth speaking engagement with the Museum. \n[/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:William J. Matthews\, Ph.D.\, “A History of the IRA: Oglaigh na Heireann"
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]This Irish-language title for the “Irish Volunteers” of 1913 was retained when the Volunteers became known in English as the “Irish Republican Army” (IRA) during the War of Independence of 1919-1922. Ireland has had a long history of violent opposition to British occupation\, and\, in his talk\, Dr. Matthews will discuss the rise of the “physical force” approach to Irish independence\, from the Rising of 1798 to the Fenian movement of the 19th century\, to the Irish Volunteers of 1913\, through the formation of the IRA in 1919\, and concluding with its demobilization in Northern Ireland in 1998. \nWILLIAM J. MATTHEWS received his Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the University of Connecticut. He is Professor Emeritus at University of Massachusetts\, Amherst\, where he has taught for over 30 years. Professor Matthews holds dual American/Irish citizenship and has studied many areas of Irish history\, including the Irish Uprising and Civil War. We warmly welcome Dr. Matthews back for this\, his seventh speaking engagement with the Museum of Newport Irish History. \n[/vc_column][/vc_row]
