SUMMARY:Tyneside Irish Centre: Tyneside Irish Brigade Memories Project - 1 July 1916
DESCRIPTION:From Rosie Serdiville: \nTyneside Irish Brigade Memories Project\nWe are all very aware of the 7200 Tyneside Irish who served during World War 1 and\, in particular\, of those who never made it home.   1200 of them died\, many on the first day of the Battle of the Somme – 1st July 1916.  Friends and families were left behind to mourn and to remember. \nFor the past year volunteers of the Tyneside Irish Cultural Society\, funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund\, have worked with those families\, researching and recording their memories.   They feature in a new exhibition which has been touring the North East. \nOn Friday 1st July\, it returns to Newcastle.   We plan to celebrate and commemorate at a gathering at Tyneside Irish Centre\, 43 Gallowgate\, Newcastle upon Tyne\, NE1 4SG.   The exhibition will be open from 10 – 4\, with a special event taking place at noon. \nIt is\, of course\, the anniversary of the first day of the Battle of the Somme so it is fitting that there should be a short ceremony to mark the occasion.  This will be followed by free refreshments and a chance to meet the volunteers and families. \nWe would be delighted if you would be able to join us.   It would be useful to know if you are coming so we can gauge numbers for catering – just hit the RSVP button below to register or send us an email. \nDo let us know if you can think of anyone else who should be invited. \nRegards\, \nRosie Serdiville \nRSVP here \n\n \nTyneside Irish Cultural Society \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n43 Gallowgate\nNewcastle upon Tyne\nNE1 4SG\n(+44) 0191 261 0385 \n\nwww.tynesideirish.com

SUMMARY:Newcastle University: Newcastle Antiquaries Conference\, Eighteenth-Century Political Participation and Electoral Culture
DESCRIPTION:From Newcastle Antiquaries \nNewcastle University have announced the programme for their conference on Eighteenth-Century Political Participation and Electoral Culture\, on 7-9 July. This is part of a wider project\, which aims to explore how ordinary people participated in parliamentary elections in England\, from 1695 until the Reform Act of 1832\, run by the University in conjunction with Liverpool University and the Arts and Humanities Research Council. Follow this link to register.  \nThe Antiquaries were in at the beginning of this when we digitised our copy of the Poll Book for the Newcastle election of 1780\, and it was then transcribed by a group of volunteers. We have supported the project since then\, and are providing the funds for four £50 travel bursaries for unwaged participants. Closing date for applying for these is 1 May\, and they will be allocated by the Conference organisers.

SUMMARY:NELH Tuesday Meeting (date to be notified): Nkechi Managwu\, university student will talk about The Work of the Decolonise Durham Network
DESCRIPTION:My name is Nkechi Managwu and I am currently a History and French student at Durham University. I recently held the position of Decolonisation Intern for the History Department\, which aims to ‘engage with the past to orientate ourselves in the present’ whilst acknowledging the involvement of educational institutions in imperialised and racialised views and divisions. \nAs part of my Decolonisation internship at Durham University’s History Department\, I reflected on my views on the importance of having a diverse bank of resources in today’s day and age as we become increasingly aware of how crucial different views and understandings of events can be in a learning\, and personal\, environment. \nAs a result of this\, I put together a resource list to allow students to access a wider range of resources which they might otherwise not be aware of to help in their studies and individual interests. Moreover\, this document was created to give lecturers and module convenors a chance to perhaps explore a wider array of resources to those they commonly use as they structure seminars\, lectures\, and their own research. Students and educators alike will hopefully be able to gain new insight into different histories through a range of channels\, immersing themselves in a novel\, inclusive perspective. \n\n\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/88199676107?pwd=Smt4Zmdoa25IMExkUHBROVhTenM4dz09\n\nMeeting ID: 881 9967 6107\nPasscode: 627325

SUMMARY:Elswick’s Shipyard and its Colonial Legacy 1885-1918 with Celina Hart on Tuesday 26 July at 7.00pm by Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Scholarship surrounding the history of the North East is dominated by its industrial heritage\, and more specifically\, the global reputation it held for shipbuilding. Existing scholarship on Lord Armstrong’s shipbuilding business at Elswick\, in particular\, has been explored from a biographical\, industrial\, and military perspective. \nExisting work has not made the link between shipbuilding at Elswick and colonialism. Despite such an established global reputation and market\, historians have stopped short of researching what the ships were used for and involved in beyond their launch date. \nThis presentation aims to challenge the dominant narrative which has been created because of the copious literature on the subject. This dominant narrative emits what the ships went on to achieve and conquer. The project will create new perspectives which highlight the global ramifications it had at the time when European powers scrambled to own as much of the Earth’s surface as possible. \nFurthermore\, Newcastle as a city profited from the money and philanthropy which came from both Armstrong and the profits which were made from sales at his Elswick works. Therefore\, this research will also challenge the idea that only those directly involved with colonising other countries\, through the ships produced\, were enriched by it. \nCelina is an MA student in Public History at Newcastle University. \n\nA Zoom link will be sent nearer the time.
