Disability and Social Policy in Ireland
This publication covers all major aspects of social policy in relation to disability in contemporary Ireland. New approaches to policy making, influenced by concepts of rights, partnership and integration, have led to major changes in service provision and legislation affecting people with disabilities. These developments are fully discussed in chapters on education and employment policies, health services, social security, access and independent living, gender, ethnicity, poverty, ageing, the mixed economy of welfare and disability, the emerging rights perspective for disabled people, and the legislation underpinning service provision. The effect of European legislation is fully covered, and comparisons are made with provision in other countries and in Northern Ireland.
The Law School of University College Dublin
The Law School of University College Dublin (UCD) has been a key center of legal education and research since its establishment as the Faculty of Law in 1909. The staff, students, and alumni of the school have contributed extensively to the political, economic, and cultural life of Ireland and beyond. In this book, Professor W.N. Osborough, a former Dean of Law at UCD, investigates the internal history of the school, ranging between its origins and survival as a distinct unit, staffing and educational programs, student and faculty life, the governance and decision making structures, its physical environment, the law library, and the relationship of the school to the university and the wider ...
Excitement Processes
The book focuses on major aspects of Norbert Elias's social theory through research on supposed “minor” topics, such as manners, sports, leisure and cultural practices. While many of his publications became essential for scholars in the different disciplines concerned, the development of the figurational approach towards these fields was not always completed. The edited volume picks up some lose ends by including archive manuscripts by Elias on the genesis of sport, developments of cultural practices, and the sociology of the body, which are published here for the very first time. Based on critical reviews of these texts, international experts show how the new material adds up to Elias’s oeuvre and how it can be fruitfully applied to current research.
Queer Whispers
The first comprehensive survey of LGBTQ fiction in contemporary Ireland. Before Ireland decriminalized same-sex sexual activity in 1993, the nation was essentially devoid of an LGBTQ literary tradition, due to the political and cultural dominance of conservative, censorious ideology. Though the situation has drastically changed in some ways since then--the first nation to legalize same-sex marriage by popular vote, Ireland is today hailed as a beacon of equal rights--there is still much work to be done to fully claim parity, visibility, and recognition for all LGBTQ artists. Queer Whispers is the first comprehensive survey of Irish LGBTQ fiction, spanning the late 1970s through today. Th...
Diverse Republic
The plight of migrants seeking foreign asylum and the rise of national populism in Western politics are two defining--and intertwined--issues of our age. Diverse Republic is the first book to examine these topics as they play out today in Ireland. Irish politics has not yet experienced the same upsurge of anti-immigrant populism as many of its allies in Europe and North America. In this book, Bryan Fanning seeks to determine why, pointing to the hesitance of Irish politicians to embrace strong nationalist rhetoric given the lasting scars of the Troubles. Fanning also identifies a widely accepted societal consensus that Irish sovereignty depends on a willingness to embrace globalization and membership in the European Union. At the same time, Diverse Republic cautions against complacency, unpacking the arguments about whether the social forces leading to reactionary anti-immigrant populism are unlikely to disappear or even lessen soon. Fanning examines the thinking of contemporary Irish people who are hostile to immigration and cultural diversity, making a clear-eyed assessment of the challenges facing future social cohesion.
