Citizen Science Book Launch: Spéirscéalta/Stories of the Air

Citizen Science Book Launch: Spéirscéalta/Stories of the Air In-Person

The University of Galway Library is delighted to invite you to celebrate the publication of Spéirscéalta – a collection of stories that explores the air.
 
In conjunction with the Open Research Forum (8 April), the book will be launched by Oscar Diaz, the European Citizen Science Ambassador for Ireland, along with project lead Dr. Liz Coleman (Physics).
 
Between 2021 and 2023, the Stories of the Air project led walks, conversations, performances, and creative workshops across Galway and Connemara, discussing the air and collecting and generating stories. Spéirscéalta, the project book, captures those stories and brings together scientific data and cultural reflections and folklore to explore the atmosphere.
 
We will also hear about The Air We Share, Dr. Coleman's current project, which makes the invisible visible, by engaging with the issue of air quality through artistic interventions, citizen science and community action in Westside, Galway. 
 
This event is free and open to the public, but registration is required. Copies of the book will be available.
